2/13/17 Since returning fro Hawaii, we havent slowed down, it has been go ever since. We are still getting over our jet lag and trying
to get back into a routine. I haven’t really noticed it affecting me other than
being a little tired during the day and not being able to fall asllep very well
at night. Today we had a full day that didn’t include any school. I knew we
would need another day to prepare for the week and had enough on the calendar
for the day without trying to squeeze in school. The boys were thrilled Jake
had spent the night with Karen and Orrie and I heard he slept in until 11:30.
The kids rarely ever get to sleep past 9 here. Luke went with Jayden and I to take
2 horses to the vet. They were scheduled to have their hocks injected. It is a
common procedure for horses that hit their teens and have been worked and
competed a lot in their life. Apparently it is done so commonly that some barns
will just go down the line and inject all horses whether they need it or not. This is the first time having horses injected and hope it will help them be more comfortable. Our
horses are competitors and we want the best care for them. They work hard at what they do and want them to
feel their best so they can perform their best. We realized Ace seems to have
some soreness issues and Traveler has been stiffer and harder to ride in the
past few years. I know Traveler was ridden so hard before we got him, it is
amazing he is still sound. Today he also got his tear ducts washed out as he
had been having eye tearing for over 6 moths. Our experience was good and it
all took a couple hours. Back home we rested before Luke and I went to
taekwondo. Jayden stayed home and got horses ready and held them for the
farrier. All 6 horses got a trim, even the colt. It took nearly 4 hours.
Standing with a farrier makes for a long day!
