4/23 I woke up feeling nauseated. Jayden
got Luke up and off to school. I rested some more and was determined to get
Jayden’s horse to the vet for his recheck. We had already rescheduled and the vet would be out all next week. I felt lousy but drove to Ames. She has been keeping Ace confined to a small barn and walking him. She has done so good bandaging his leg and giving him special care, We got a
disappointing result from Ace’s exam and ultrasound. He will need anywhere from
3 to 9 months to heal and fully recover. This was not the news we were hoping to hear. I felt sick and had to sit down during
the time there. I really needed to be home and in bed. Jayden was disappointed but she told me she wasn’t going to let
it get her down. She would put her focus on Tex and work with him like she has
been. She will patiently let her Ace heal. I know she is broken hearted. He is
her special horse and she has worked so hard with him and was looking so
forward to summer competing with him. Once again her dreams and shot down. She
is a good kid and I can learn from her positive attitude. She has been riding
Tex daily and seeing unbelievable improvements. Her good friend Makeena went to
a Charmane James clinic and passed on what she learned to Jayden. It has been
helping her so much. We are thankful that we have Tex as a back-up.
