"This is Undesireable Attention, a full brother to Smiles Boo. I thought you may like to see him as well as Major." Maria smiles as she watches Matty greet both Dessie and Major. She rubs the stallion's neck softly as she listens to Matty. Her eyes fall on Boo and she smiles, "Out pretending? That sounds a lot like someone else I know." She says playfully before slipping from Major's back and leading the two black thoroughbreds out to the large pasture not that far from Boo's. Maria slipped Major's saddle off and took off the reins before releasing the older horse into the paddock. She then took off the leadrope from Dessie's headcollar and let him go. Both flew across the paddock with absolute joy, the wind flying through their manes and tails as the little Dessie stretched out his legs to catch up with Major. Maria laughed and looked from the pair to Boo, seeing a similarity in all of them besides their coat colour.
Jackie slipped through the fence and smiled as she watched the chestnut filly fly around her mother. She was definately exciteable! It had been a while since a hyperactive horse had come through the gates of GMR, maybe it would be a breath of fresh air. After all, Jackie herself had raised and trained Fly High Apache who had been less then firey himself. She was sure she and Dove would have a blast together. At least she hoped. "She loves you." She giggled as she kneeled down and stroked the filly's beautiful brown muzzle. Fearless. That was a good asset for the track. She may not be as experienced as her mother but she had raced a few good racers in her time, including Fly High Apache and Mercury. So neither had been legendary but both had done successfully well. Maria wanted to retire Merc but Jackie was against it. Merc could still do great things on the track, she just had to put more time into training and supervising his feed. "Hello cutie." She cooes softly as she looks at the beautiful Seabiscuit daughter.

Dove walked up to Maria and snorted, before kicking out and taking off, prancing and running around like a loon. I just shook my head as I watched the filly, parading around, bucking and kicking her heels in the air as she raced around her mother once more. It was hard to predict what she was going to do next, but she soon settled down a little and appoached Jackie and Maria, her ears forward and her eyes mischeivious. She lowered her head and gave a little snort before coming close enough to halter.
"Full sibling? Neat! Lauren has bred High Times a lot lately, I didn't even know Miss Matinee had a full sibling untill the otherday, Melissa owns her, but she doesn't act or look anything like Jamie. Whats Dessie like?" I asked as I watched Boo appoach the fence. Stretching his neck just above the hotwire he sniffed noses with Major, before letting out a squeel and striking the ground in dominance. "Boys," I muttered.

Chad pulled in Godolphin Stables and got out. There was a lot of cars here. Wow Chad whispered to himself. He was here for Ben, and he was pretty excited. He spotted the foals, and so he walked through the training barn. Then Chad took a left, went through the courtyard, and finally straight down to the pastures and huge feilds, to where the foals were out playing. He took his time, he heard so much about Godolphin Stables and he was so excited to be here. He spotted Matty and walked over to her.

"Hey Chad! Hows Lana doing?" I asked as I grabbed a golden yellow halter, black balnket with golden yellow trim, and black lead. Handing it to him I pointed out a beautiful yet small colt. He was stunningly handsome, but he just didn't look up to par with the other foals, even though he was one of the nicest. My stablehand Ben was sitting with him in the grass, his big arms supporting the little colts chest as he nursed. Ben had wanted to keep little Super Charged, but we already had CJ, and I knew Chad, if there was anyone, would give the little colt the time and devotion to get him caught up to all the others, and depending, he may just shoot right past them. It was hard to tell what all the foals would go on to do. I knew they had the potential, but would these new owners fix their quircks? Figure them out? And train them to the top? It was hard to say, but it was all in the hands of the new owners. These foals were bred for speed, agility, and stamina. They had some of the best lines, and it was all up to these eight people to take them to the winners circle.
Benjamin got up and shook Chad's hand, letting baby Ben stand on his own. He was a little wobbly, but stood supported by his dams chestnut leg. Sonata stretched her neck down and gave Ben a few bumps to keep him steady. She was a great mom, having foaled GS Swept Away, who Sabrina still owned, and GS Serenade, who belonged to Lauren of North Star. Benjamin got up and with a smile said "Take good care of him. The more he walks the stronger he'll get, but he gets tired, so you may have to brush him in the grass. He's got spunk to, and doesn't always want help, but he knows he needs it. He's got a bit of an ego."

OOC: You'll be the first to know. Lana will awake very soon.
BIC:
Chad took the things as Matty handled them. I just got back from there, and the doctors said that they wouldn't be surprise if she woke up soon. Chad repled very excited. Chad knew all about Ben's story, and he knew what to do. This wasn't the first time he dealted with a foal like Ben. Chad wathced the foal, before walking over to the stablehand Ben. Who was sitting by the foal. Chad could see that he cared a lot for Super Charged.
Chad shook Ben's hand, Chad noticed the foal was a little wobbly. However Sonata's leg supported him. Chad smiled as he listen to Ben. I can see that Chad said, as he watched the colt, try and stand without his dam's help. However he fell back into her leg. I worked with a horse like this once. So I'm pretty sure I know what I'm going to do. Chad replied before looking at the stable hand Ben. Chad knew he would have to know Super Charge more so he knew what would work for the colt.

Maria saw in the distance Jackie bonding with the chestnut filly and a young man at her side. Looking back at Major as she leant on the paddock fence watching both of her black babies and Boo she sighed happily. It had been a while since she had been here. She watched as Dessie turned and galloped over to her, ears pricked as he sniffed Matty's hands before nudging Maria playfully. "Dessie's very curious about the world and finding his place in it. He's well behaved and can be exciteable at times, which I doubt he'll grow out of but overall he's the sweetest thing on four legs." Maria said happily as she ruffled Dessie's forelock before looking back at Matabon with a smile.
Jackie smiled as she watched Dove fly around her, Jason and her dam. She definately had a lot of energy! Laughing softly she knelt down as Dove came towards her. "Hello sweetie. Finally willing to come in?" She cooes softly as she slips the headcollar onto the chestnut's head before standing up and looking over at Jason with a smile. "Have any tips on how to calm this one down?" She laughed softly as she ran a hand through her blonde hair before looking back at the pretty filly infront of her.

[OOC: Becki go ahead and roleplay Dove now, I think you know how she is!]
"Uh, not exactly. She is always like this, maybe just finding some way to use it in a positive light." Jason murmered. Dove gave Jackie an "I'm not sure if I want to do this, I could just.... RUN!" look, as she went to drag Jackie down the paddock, kicking her heels and running as fast as she could.
Ben stepped back with a nod and walked back to Maddy. "I'll go grab everyone some hot chocolate, if thats alright. It's pretty chilly out." He said as he breathed on his cold fingers. "Yeah sure, go right ahead. Don't forget the marshmellows!" I called as he turned with a laugh and jogged away. I watched as Chase walked over to Jazz. I didn't know when Gentry or SB were coming, but the two colts were just stunning and I couldn't wait to see what they'd say when they saw them.
Ben, the young colt turned to look at Chad, reaching out his tiny milk covered muzzle to sniff this new person. Sonata barely even glanced at the stranger before continueing the graze.

I drive up to the Godolphin gates and wait to be let in. Driving down passed the homestead and parking ouside the training barn. Walking the rest of the way I see that I am a little late as everyone is already there, d**n. I walk over to Matty. "Hey sorry about my awful timing mate." I say eager to see Chase, the little gorgeous foal that would one day be mine.

A postive light? She was about to try and figure what he meant when she felt a firm tug on the leadrope which almost sent her flying off her feet. Luckily she caught herself and jogged up to the filly's side before grabbing her headcollar and giving it a firm tug. Dove snorted and tossed her head before squealing out, not at all liking this person that wanted her to stop moving. Dove tilted her bronze coloured head before grabbing hold of Jackie's white slightly unbuttoned and untucked shirt and gives it a firm tug playfully. Jackie looks at Dove and holds in a laugh before taking her shirt out of the chestnut's mouth. "Thats not for eating."

Once I had gotten Poe to step away away from Disney I turned away and started to walk away. About 3 steps toward the paddock I heard Poe amble forward calmly. Then he whickered out and trotted to catch up. Nudging me firmly in the side when he reached me the young colt snorted and lipped at my pocket. Smiling I rubbed my hand over his short mane happily and Poe burred looking up at me with adoring eyes. Sweet boy. I tell him giving him a hug and he rested his muzzle against my back for an instant before he moved away looking shyly around him.

I watched Poe and Melissa bonding like two long lost buddies and smiled slightly. I was really happy that everyone was getting along, and that all the foals liked their new owners. Jackie and Dove were acting like sisters, and Dove was running around her. I didn't know where that filly got her energy from! I turned towards SB and with a smile hugged her so tight I almost squeezed the air right out of her. "Hey! No worries, glad you could make it!" I said as I handed her a green halter, black lead, and black blanket with green trim. "He's the chestnut with the blaze, a little slender looking, and he's not the smartest. He's nimble, but it just takes things a little longer to process through his brain than others. Training will fix that.". I said with a smile as the stunning colt turned and looked at us.

I laughed sure my head would explode as Matty squeazed me. "I wouldn't miss this for the world. However Xenophon made his own plans this morning. Gone bak to the old days of stall wrecking. The little sh$t." I said non affectionatly still a little bitter over the cost of another reinforced stal. I turned though to see the gorgeous colt with his cute blaze staring at me hough and all my wrries seemed to evaporate into thin air. He was everything I had hoped for, he really was. Taking the gear from Matty I smiled at the colt. "Hey sweety, you and I are gonna have a lot of fun one day I said coaxing him with a foal friendl treat I had bought. It was basically sugary milk in a crystallized form of sorts.

I smiled and rubbed Poe's neck briskly and the scratched behind his ears. Let's play big boy. I say unclipping him and Disney from the hitching post and taking them back to the paddock. I start jogging off once I turned Disney loose and Poe snorted eager for a game. Tossing his head he burst into a trot following me across the paddock.

Chase spun to face her, his big eyes taking in this new person. Taking a wary step forward he lipped at the treat before taking it and watching SB, his long black eyelashes batting dolefully as his sleepy eyes scanned her face, and then her pockets, eager to get ahold of more of those treats. He wasn't overly worried about this person. Obvioudly his mother didn't mind so neither should he.

I slowly drove up the driveway of Godolphin Stables, i looked ion the mirror my hair was a mess with hay in it and I had dirt on my face but that would soon be fixed. Shayne was sitting beside waiting anxiously to see the newest acquisition of WR. As we got closer to the Training Barn, it was packed with trucks and cars, and I could already hear the chit chat of the people as I rolled up my window and turned off my truck. Shayne jumped out of the truck with me right behind him. I double checked that the truck was locked and then we headed into the training barn to see Jazz, the guests, and Maddy. We walked it and it was full of people, as I could see we were a little late, but this week was hectic with stuff that I had to do. I went and walked with Shayne and tried to seek out Maddy. I saw her talking to SB, and we went over to talk to Maddy and SB. "Hey Maddy and SB, I am so sorry that we are late but it has been kinda hectic this week. But we are here now. Oh and before I forget this is Shayne Hawsten, he is another Assistant trainer at my stables." I noticed Shayne wander off and to find Jazz, I wasn't too far behind him, for I couldn't wait to see him. We looked in the pasture, and all you saw was legs and this tiny body with sort of big ears. We must of startled him because he jolted and his eyes went as round as a melon and he stood and stared at us, but slowly and cautiously, he came up to us and gave a little sniff. It would take Shayne and I awhile to gain his trust but I know that once we did, he would be awesome.
