History
In the New Prophecy Series
Starlight
- The cats at first use it as a marker for Gatherings[5], and a place to meet before they find their camps. They meet Smoky and Daisy on their way to a Gathering near the Horseplace,[6] and the loners tell them they live there.[7] Eventually, the Island replaces the horseplace as a gathering place.[8]
Twilight
- Daisy shows up in ThunderClan territory with her newborn kits, after another loner, Floss, had her kits taken away from her by the Twolegs at the horseplace.[9]
Sunset
- Daisy returns to the horseplace after finding out the tip of Berrykit's tail was cut off by a fox trap.[10] She leaves when his tail is healed and he is in stable condition to travel, for she feels her kits' safety is threatened in the forest.[11] Brambleclaw and Cloudtail go to bring them back, nearly getting trampled by the horses until Smoky rescues them.[12] They spend the night in the hay in the stable, until Daisy and her kits are persuaded to leave for ThunderClan again.[13]
