A TRIP TO THE VET: 20/07/07 -

After Her injury in January this year jayde has required several check ups by the vet to make sure she is still healthy. Well on this Friday we drove her up to Swanbridge Vetinary Hospital, Hull for her to get a Scan and X ray on her leg.

We arrived at 11.45am just 15 minutes before the appointment was due and registered her only to find there was delays of about 2 hrs, as a vet hadnt shown up. So we were advised to put jayde in the stable which had been prepared for her and leave her and go off into nearby towns for the day. Jayde in her stable, Below;

We went for a mac donalds and then into a nearby town of Beverley where i got some bargains and last minute things for my camping trip to weston-super-mare for T4 on the beach which was fantastic, it was televised on channel 4. Then at 5 o clock we got a call to say jayde could be collected.

Having found nothing wrong with her leg only a splint, they said they were happy with Jayde's leg and she could be discharged straight away. They also advised to book jayde in for 6 months time for a final check up on that leg. We travelled home and put jayde and molly in there stables as jayde was still a little dozy from being sedated and it was going to be a wet and Windy Night.

We're going on holiday to Newquay for 10 days and then when we get back it will be very busy getting ready for horse shows so until then.

AN UPDATE FROM SOUTHDALE 19/07/07-

Hi it's been along time since i've written but i've finished off my year at college and have been riding jayde and working quite frequently so i've been struggling to fit it all in. I've been on several university visits too.

Tomorrow Jayde is off to Swanbridge vetinary practice for a scan on the leg that she injured preseason this year, so we will be spending the day there with her. They will have to shave her legs but i'm not sure what the judges at showing will think to a horse with its legs shaved.

I'm off on my holidays, from fri night to monday morning i'm off away for a weekend to go to t4 on the beach hopefully the weather should be nice because lately it's been awful for July, and then i'll have a couple of days training before going on holiday to the south for ten days. It gives me time to relax away from college work and horses, obviously the horses are the one i will miss.

So we'll be back showing 5th August and then believe its pretty busy right up to season close in december so i'll update you after that show again, because otherwise there'll be nothing to say until then.

Happy Summer 2007
Laura Salmon.
