What a weekend!


Last Thursday the family attended our school's Regional Basketball Tournament. Both teams went in in the loser's bracket but we were expecting great outcomes. Sadly neither team made it through... so now the focus shifts to baseball/softball seasons. My daughter had received a concussion in practice two days prior to the tournament and had to sit out from the game and cheerleading. She was upset but what upset her more was when the boys lost their game. Her best friends are on that team and as seniors it was their last HS game. She is beginning to realize that there are going to be a lot of first lasts to come in the next couple of months.

After the tournament disapointment, I got to enjoy a wonderful three-day weekend. The weather started out lousy with lots of cold and wind then turned beautiful on Sunday. I didn't get much done in the training department, but got a good start on spring cleaning around the barn, worked on my arena fencing and clearing the pastures.

Jazz had another "eposide" on Saturday but it resolved itself within 10 minutes. I am now really getting worried and she has an appointment with the vet on Wednesday. I have now taken her off all concentrates, started her monthly SandClear treatment, and increased her roughage intake with increased hay, longer time being hand grazed on the longer yard grass and supplementing her with soaked alfalfa cubes. I think that I am going to add some rice bran to her diet but am going to wait until we see the vet.
