Diva
     Diva was led out of the pasture for the rest of the day, and she'd have the first half of tomorrow to rest. She couldn't wait to tell her friends the news. Though Diva got distracted by a colt who was training on the track. She could tell he was getting more attention then she was, but she would have her chance to show him. The mare could be competitive, and loved being on the track. She couldn't wait to get out there more since she was now healed. Diva found a nice spot to roll, and rolled for quite some time until she heard Charlotte gasp. "You were just groomed not that long ago Diva! Oh it can wait, I have other things to do then constantly cleaning you." she said with a bit of anger, but she couldn't help but laugh a bit.

 He'd nicker hearing the food room door close, his groom walking out with his food. He'd shift around trying to see what's in his food currently. He was led into his stall where his food was dumped inside the bucket. He'd gnaw it all 7 IB of his food.. His stall was mucked out, as he was haltered and led to a studio, massive one for taking pictures of horses. He'd twitch an ear as there was some commotion happening, cameras everywhere. He'd been stood in a certain position, perking his ears at the camera man. A soft flashing light formed as he flinched a bit.

Charlotte
     Charlotte got some of her chores done before grooming Diva. After some time, she looked like an expensive racehorse once again. Though, she really wasn't. "Now please don't roll again Diva. I have more important things to do." she said with a bit of a laugh. Charlotte was leading Diva back to the pasture when Diva began to get nervous. "What is it girl?" she said noticing the flashing lights from the cameras. "It's OK girl. It's fine, your safe." she said in a calm voice in order to calm the mare. 
     After calming Diva, Charlotte walked up to one of the cameramen. "You shouldn't be doing this right in the open. Horses can spook due to flashing lights. None of us need Diva to split her leg open again." she told the man. "Some of the horses here weren't loved and cared for their whole lives, and they spook easily like Diva here." she said angry with him. "Be careful next time."

Diva
     The flashing lights had spooked her a bit, but Charlotte was able to calm her before she ran off again. After Charlotte walked away from the man, she led Diva back to the pasture. Though, before they walked away from the scene, Diva took a look at the stallion. So this was the new horse everyone was talking about? Whatever happened to her? She had finally started to become know as this new horse comes in and thinks he's the best. 
     When Diva was back in the pasture, she grazed for a little bit. After awhile, she slowly cantered along the fence, and slowly sped up as if she was racing with some of the best racehorses out there.

After Charlotte had left, he had walked over, and told them to put their cameras away as they would do the photoshoot on a scheduled day. "Go ahead and put Chess on the Bemer and ice his legs. Look for thrush as well, if so, put the thrust buster on his feet since the weathers been low in the pastures lately. Put some more alfalfa pellets and cubes in his feed, his starting to gain muscle, which means he needs to be fed more to keep his weight in control. " He'd walk away as he needed to do a few more riding and exercising with other Thoroughbreds.

He'd nod his head slightly up and down, still trying to regain full sight from the single flashed light that burned into his eyes. He'd wiggle his head until he felt a gentle tug trying to ask him to walk. He'd take a few steps forward; luck had hit him as his sight has been regained at the few steps he was taken. He was soon put under crossties and felt a quite heavy rug be placed on him. After being bemered and iced, all his muscles were relaxed, practically slobbering out of his mouth.

Diva 
     Diva was later brought into a smaller pen. She didn’t really like the starting gate, so her trainer thought it might be best to get the mare used to small spaces. The new colt wasn’t too far, and Diva studied the black colt before speaking, “So. Your the new colt everyone has been talking about?” She said with a bit of a snort. Diva may have changed in many ways, but she still lived up to her name often. The mare stood some scars shown on her body, but they weren’t as visible or as big in size as the one of her front left leg. The scar ran down her leg right below the shoulder and stopped before the hoof. “I don’t know who you think you are, but your not the best out there,” she said with yet another snort. Diva turned around and gave a sassy tail flick as she walked around the small pen for a moment before looking at the colt once again.

Charlotte 
     Charlotte went back to her chores checking in on Diva every now and then making sure she was still as clean as she was after her shower. She came across Alaina and had to ask something, “Hey uh Alaina, do you think Diva is ready for this race? I mean it hasn’t been long since the vet cleared her to race, and she has only been in a few unlike the other horses racing in the race.” She said unsure if the mare was ready.
     “We wouldn’t of entered her if it wasn’t for the invitation. Very important people in the racing industry insisted that she races in this race. I know your concerned, but she has pulled through and came back stronger with everything that had happened. She’s ready,” replied Alaina. Charlotte didn’t really have anything to say, but she gave a nod and a small smile before continuing with her chores.
