A/N: Sooo sorry for the delay. School started on Wednesday (Sept 6) and I haven't had too much free-time since. I will be updating my other stories really soon hopefully! crosses fingers
Also, I am getting writers block with this story. I am open to suggestions and your ideas!
Traffic left this morning for training with Michael Matz, my former trainer. It's such a shame I will never be raced again, now my only real competition are the wild animals and Traffic. How is Olivia you ask? I'm not rushing things with her, this time I am taking my time and getting to know her. She is really nice, and I hope she doesn't have to move.
But if she does, I will have a new pal in about ten months. Yep, that's right; my mommy is giving me another sibling! I cannot wait cause this time I will be here to greet him or her! Yep, life is good right now. My own family will be starting around the same time too; gosh I am I going to have a family! It's really rainy here, if it rains too much it puts a damper on what kind of mood I'm in, and it's quite chilly too. My owners got me a new stall blanket and it is quite cozy. I'm really happy to be back home, with all my pals and my mom.
Olivia moved this morning. I think she went with her owner to California after all, and Traffic is still gone… IM BORED CRAZY! Well, I was, but then I remembered my crazy-hoofed friend, Sweetnorthernsaint. He taught himself to play 'stall-ball' as he would call it. He would pick up his stall toy and throw it around his stall. But other than teaching myself tricks, I've been bored, bored, bored. My mother is being very moody lately, and is getting really big! I guess she is due soon, since the vet is coming every few days to check on her and me. My leg is getting much stronger without the cast and I am very careful on how much I use it.
This morning I went out into my paddock, did my daily jog around the inside of it and took my place to go back to sleep for a few more hours. Well, it was an extremely short nap because I woke up to a load neigh. At first I thought I must have been dreaming, but when I looked up there was this tall, jet black horse in the paddock next tom ine, running around and rearing like crazy! I immediately but carefully got up and went right over there and who was it in the next paddock? Traffic! He had come back from training early for some reason.
"Traffic? Why are you back so soon?"
Traffic trotted quickly over to the fence. "I kept throwing off the exercise rider. I don't wanna be a racer!"
I shook and tossed my head at him in frustration. "It's what you are here to do. You don't want to let Gretchen and Roy down by your own stupidity do you Traffic?" I questioned, even more frustrated.
"Well look what happened to you! I don't want that to happen to me!" He whinnied.
"It won't happen to you, I banged up my leg before the race because I got over-excited. It was a complete accident, and had nothing to do with my genetics. Do you know who you sire is anyway?"
Traffic looked at me in confusion.
"Dynaformer was one of the racing's top legends. We, as his children must carry on that name with pride, and that includes you Traffic."
"But, I wanna be a jumper! I don't want to spend my life running around a track for money."
"You have your whole life after to become a jumper. For now, you run you heart out and WIN!" I exclaimed as Traffic looked at me for sympathy, which he was getting none of.
"But, he has so many other horses who are champions! Look at yourself, Bob."
"Yes, and do you want to mess that up?" I questioned strongly. He shook his head sadly as I noeed my head confidently. I put my head over the fence and messed with his mane. 'I think your gonna be a great racer, even if you don't make it, I'll still be your best buddy."
Traffic tossed his head playfully. He was the best kid the racing industry was gonna ask for!
