	Ace Update - He got to catch a good breeze today and enjoy some light!! All the barn windows were open and the door was halfway open!! By the time we got back to the barn with the shoer at 2, he was acting like he wanted to lay down(he hasn't tried to lay down since the night of March 1st) come to find out he was a little warm and itchy with his fly sheet on. Took it off and he settled right down. Got back home from taking the shoer home around 5:30, got him out of the stall while mom cleaned it. He stood happily by a hay bale munching away while I curried him!!! Fed him his mash and then had to wrestle him to spray stuff on his wounds!! After 4 weeks of him not being a bear during feeding time, him being a bear now is a little scary!!!! He is doing very well! Hopefully the symptoms will subside soon!!! I honestly cannot Thank everyone enough for all of the prayers!!!

	Ace Update - He had a bit of a rough start to the night. I knew it was going to get chilly so I put his sheet back on after chores. At about 10:30, he was hot and itchy and trying to lay down. I don't know if he fell or what but he was very worried. I went out and took the sheet off and sat with him for a bit. He was fine when I came in and was relaxed through the night!! He had ate all of his hay from last night and gobbled up his mash this morning! Slowly upping his rations of feed! He is starting to gain a little weight back slowly but still is in poor condition. He is still a very happy horse except when you mess with him at feeding time!! He also has started to suck air and rock back when he is cribbing!!! Before he would just bite on the bucket! A lot of people may not like the fact that he cribs but he has done it his whole life and been a top competitor! I say keep them happy and they will work!! Heading to town shortly to get him some fresh new shavings and re-bed his stall!! Keep up the great work as always prayer warriors!!

	Ace Update - He has had a good day! If everything is still good at his night feed/check, I am going to try and sleep through the whole night for the first time!!! He got a new feed tub today and new fresh shavings!!! Mom cleaned his stall while I brushed him!! I then asked him if he was ready to go back in his stall and eat supper, he turned around and took off into his stall by himself and left me standing there to watch! I was sooo scared!!!! I am excited that he is being so independent but he still scared me!!!! As always keep up the great work Prayer Warriors!!! We are coming to the end of Day 24!!!

	Ace Update - He is still doing well and eating and drinking everything!!! Slowly getting back into a normal routine!! Not much else to update other than I got my first full nights sleep in 24 days!!!! I still woke up on my own out of habit through the night from the alarms that usually go off but not near as groggy feeling this morning! Praying for continued progress!!!

	Ace Update - He had a very good day!!! He laid down for a little bit for the first time in 24 days!!! I think it scared him a little though from the last time he laid down and his leg is still very sore!! I got him out today and brushed and clipped him up! He is looking very handsome!! He is still eating and drinking very well! I am planning to sleep the whole night again unless I wake up on my own!!! Recovery road is feeling pretty good! Praying it stays that way!!!!

	Ace Update - Sorry I didn't update this morning I got called to work and was late! Ace had a pretty rough day. He tried to lay down and had quite a bit of trouble getting up. It really stressed him out and he didn't want to eat and was in a lot of pain. So, after a very rough day for my poor boy, he is doing much better! Gave him some belly medicine and bute at chore time. He seems more relaxed now and tried to eat me when I gave him his late night snack!! Put more medicine on his leg and he has also drank some water! Praying for a goodnight!

	Ace Update - He is back to the way he was before he tried to lay down yesterday!!! He ate all his hay from last night and drank the whole bucket of water!! Gobbled up his mash this morning and was eating his hay when I left!!! I do not have to work today so I will be closely monitoring him all day in case he decides to lay down again I will be able to get out to him sooner and get him relaxed!!! Praying he stays doing well!!!

	Ace Update - He is still doing well! He ate his mash very slow this morning! I think he might have been a little upset with me that I wasn't there for his late night feed last night! He ate good the rest of the day! His eyelids are slowly coming down and his tail is getting looser! He is still very wobbly and his wounds are very inhibiting for him! Keep up the great work Prayer Warriors

	Ace Update - He had a great day! He stood tied while I cleaned his stall! I brushed him up good and took some pics! and then before I put him away I let him stand with his head out of the barn door! He really enjoyed catching the breeze!!! He enjoyed it so much he went outside for the first time in 27 days!!! He was a bit nervous and didn't stay out long but he went outside!!! He ate well all day and ate his mash good tonight! He is able to eat treats now and is really liking that! Still along ways from 100% but we are on the right road!!! Keep up the great work Prayer Warriors!!!

	Ace Update - He must have laid down in the night because he was covered in shavings! He was not stressed and gobbled up his mash this morning!!! He is currently gobbling up his hay! I am off to work for a while but mom will be home! Pray that he is good for her and not mad at me when I get home!!! He doesn't fully understand that I need this job to pay for his food LOL

	Ace Update - He is still doing great! He was a little more wobbly today then yesterday! He is still eating and drinking good! It took quite a bit of persuading to get him out of the stall tonight so I could clean it! You would be surprised at what a handful of treats will do for a horses mindset LOL I can't thank everyone enough for all the love and support you have shown us! It just blows my mind at how many wonderful Prayer Warriors he has! Keep up the great work!!!

	Ace Update - Nothing too much to update. He is still doing very well! When I took him his mash last night I picked two piles of poop out of his stall and when I tried to get out he bit me!!! He does not like to be bothered while he is eating!!! Keep up the great work Prayer Warriors!!!
