Happy birthday Coz!

Sure wish I was lying beside you Z so you could keep me warm!!
Thinking of you Zenyatta and hoping you will be able to graze the awesome blue grass soon.
Love you and all your foals.

Dear Z-friends,
I hope all of you who got hit by the winter storm are well, warm and safe.
Fortunately, here in the Triangle area of NC we are okay. I didn’t lose power so that was good news indeed! We got a little snow, more sleet and some freezing rain (not enough to disrupt power, thank goodness). It was quite pretty at first until it changed to the dreaded freezing rain. Also, the winds didn’t get as strong as they had predicted. There is still some snow/sleet lying around, but things are mostly back to routine today.
If any of you are without electricity, I hope it is restored to you soon!
Stay safe and warm.
Hugs and Love
Well they completely blew the forecast here. We were supposed to be just on the western edge of the storm so not much snow was predicted. HA!! Wound up with a foot of the white stuff and lots of wind (some places farther east had 25 inches!!). I can now get to the garage and some of the driveway is clear, but the rest of it will be snow covered til Easter at this rate?. Why does no one want to shovel snow anymore (and I mean getting PAID to do it)?
Glad the Carolina folks got off better than expected ?❤️
Dear Sandy,
Wow! Our mountains got a good bit of snow — the ski resorts were very happy since it has been a slow season so far.
Looks as though we will have another event coming in for the weekend here. Hope there is no freezing rain!
I think my neighbor cleared the snow/sleet off my front porch; although, I haven’t seen him to thank yet. I cleared part of the patio at the back door Monday afternoon while waiting for the car to defrost so I could sweep the white stuff off the hood and the top.
Hang in there! It will be hot and sultry soon and will stay that way until late November (at least here it will).
Hugs and Love ?
Love him!
Thanks, JB.
Oh my, Sandy, what a storm for you. Read a story yesterday about the football coach telling his players to skip practice and instead go shovel snow in the neighborhoods. Now that is coaching! Hope you stay safe!
Our new storm coming looks like an ice event for our coast. Yikes!Frozen fish.
Congrats to all new babies arriving. Bless the mares.
My new game- naming the jockey behind the mask. For the Big A am 3 out of 4. LOL. Hope all are safe and well.
Love you Zenny!!!
Dear Ann,
You crack me up, neighbor!! Thanks for the giggles❣️
Wow, watch for (instead of falling rocks) falling frozen fish. ?
Great job of naming the jockey at the Big A!
Everyone, stay safe, warm and well!
Hugs and Love
Happy Friday everyone. Sorry to be a bit late, but I was waiting for some info from my “Hovis to English” translator. Lots of hidden messages in this one, but the first bit about alternative interpretations of “work” is about the British Prime Minister hosting secret wine and cheese receptions during the COVID lockdown and trying to sell them to the enraged public as “work related.” Hovis himself has still managed to avoid “work” a la his Mum’s interpretation. https://www.horseandhound.co.uk/blog/hovis-friday-dairy-maybe-i-have-been-going-about-things-all-wrong-774962
From what I’m seeing on CNN, it looks like our friends in the Carolinas may be under the gun again this weekend with the dreaded “freezing rain” predicted. Please stay safe everyone. Hope the power stays on. Still getting snow and VERY cold weather here on the north coast. ❄️❄️❄️❄️
Dear Sandy,
Thanks for our weekly laughter with the inimitable Hovis❣️
Hope he and Mum can arrive at an amicable agreement — she certainly does love him though. Hovis is himself, and a very handsome lovable self he is.
It has finally started snowing here in Chapel Hill — I have been watching for it since late afternoon! The ice event seems to be more for the eastern counties along with the larger snow quantities. Last time there was more snow west and north of us and this time it seems more snow will be east and south of us (with ice occurring). However, I hope there will not be too much power outage anywhere. None ideally.
Stay warm and safe!
Hugs and Love ? ☃️
Dear Judy,
Well it is a very pretty blanket of snow here — ~1 1/2-2inches. I went to bed around 12:30AM, and it was snowing like crazy! I shoveled the back patio and steps at 1:30PM today. It was quite easy to remove. Again, my neighbor (the “elf with the shovel”) cleared the snow from my front porch, steps and walkway. He did this while I was watching the weather news on the TV in my bedroom which is in the back of the house so I didn’t see or hear him. I found out from my other neighbor that not only did he shovel my front walk and porch on Monday, but he did four other neighbors’ sidewalks, etc.!!
What great neighbors I have here!
Hope everyone is warm and well. The temperature tonight is to be in the teens — today is beautiful and mid-30’s so the streets in my neighborhood look clear and almost dry. Great texture snow for snowmen (or snowfolks), snowballs and snow cream!!
Hugs and Love ❄️ ? ❄️
Marshall (NC Broad)
Of course, I was hoping for more snow depth. Areas to the south and east of us got 4-5 inches. That’s more like the snows I remember as a child — medium sized. Sometimes we got 6-8 inches or more as I recall. It was not unusual then — of course, that was back during the Ice Age!
? ☃️ ?
judy berube
Dear Marshall:
Well, the fresh snowfall is beautiful and makes a lovely winter landscape, until you have to shovel or travel in it.
Kudos to your kind neighbor. Russ and I were lucky to have a neighbor next door who would shovel our driveway and walkway too.
We’re at 23 degrees right now.
Stay safe and warm. Love and Hugs, JB
Ann NC
You sure have some nice neighbors, Marshall.
We had about 3 inches here. Looks like VA Beach received about 5in. The sledding hill down the street sure has been busy but by now it is looking a bit muddy. Kids sure were excited.
Cold, cold and -4 at the Packers game last night…….brrrrrr!
Congrats to Mandaloun on his win.
Love to all. Stay warm, Zenny.
Dear Z-friends and racing fans,
Wow, Trevor McCarthy is HOT!! He has been winning and winning and winning since he came back. He just got his 4th victory today at Aqueduct on Sterling Silver — a beautiful filly! Congrats to Sterling Silver, Trevor and all connections!
Yay! ? ? ?
Dear Ann,
Yes Cloud Nine indeed!!
Did you see Race 8 at Oaklawn today? That was a great win by Jon Court on Chipofftheoldblock! He really likes what he does.
It wasn’t Happy Mac’s day today — better luck in the next one.
Hugs and Love
Dear Barbara,
I know very well. You want it done and over so you can move forward.
Stay positive and best wishes for a smooth successful surgery.
Will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. ❤️
Hugs and Love
Dear Friends of horse racing,
Jon Court aboard ChipofftheoldBlock won at Oaklawn this afternoon!
As if on cue, this race followed America’s Best Racing video featuring Jon Court who is still racing successfully at 61. You go Jon C.!!
Congrats to him, “Chip” and all connections! Loved the after-race interview with Gary Stevens, too. (I think it was Race 8, or 9)
Hope everyone has a good week!
Hugs and Love
Fantastic. Congrats to Jon C and Chip.
Will have to see if I can find the race.
Thanks for sharing, Marshall.
The stretch run between Mandoloun and Midnight Bourbon was fun too. Midnight always shows up.
Snow is allllmost gone.
To Barbara: I’ve got my fingers crossed up to my elbows hoping for only good things to come after your surgery. To Marshall: Congrats on having such a great neighbor. Tommy and I had one too, but he and his snow blower moved to Idaho. We had about 14 inches of snow about two weeks ago that’s still hanging around and its just cold enough to keep it here probably for the rest of the winter. While our little dab is hanging on, all the people I know are hoping for much more of any type of precip. to help with our drought situation. We don’t have fire season for just a few months anymore, its all year round. Have you heard about the big fire going on down around Big Sur? Too bad all the places back your way couldn’t push some of the rain/snow over this way. Wasn’t able to see Mandaloun’s big win, sure sounded like a doozy. For all the Zsters being hit so hard by weather please try to stay safe, warm and dry.
Does anybody on the Blog know why the Forum has been down for so many days?
It says “Maintenance in Progress” but it has been a number of days and that is a lot of maintenance time!
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Finally a name for Arrogate and Songbird’s three year old filly: Song Gate. Godspeed beauty whatever your future holds; safe and sound. Love and Hugs, JB
Just found this on Song Gate. Looks like she will most likely be a broodmare at Whisper Hill. We’ll have to look for her babies in the future. Love and Hugs, JB
Oops. Don’t know what’s happening, but I went to check on Spanish Bunny and now they’re saying it will be 1 day, 1hr and 30 some minutes before foaling. Guess you just have to keep checking.
Dear Barbara,
Glad to hear from you and also happy that you are home.
Best wishes for healing and recovery — hope you can get some restful sleep.
Take care❣️
Hugs and Love
Best wishes on a smooth recovery. Hope you get some sleep. I think I’ll give a sleep a whirl myself. I stayed up all night keeping an eye on Spanish Bunny, who is now at the “she could have her foal any minute. Of course that’s when my computer decided it didn’t want to play any more, so she may have had her little one already. Sweet dreams to all Zsters. Hope the big storm I’ve been hearing about doesn’t cause you too much trouble.
Happy Friday everyone! We are just buried in snow here on the north coast, and I know peeps further south (including Lexington and all of horse country) had ice to contend with as well. REALLY need a break at this point. Had all of the ice off my front porch for a few hours on Wednesday, but you’d never know it now😩. Have been waiting for a chair that I bought a YEAR ago to be delivered, but that will be put on hold yet again.
OK so the weather across the pond saved Hovey from any serious working, but his Mum had to chase down one of his lady loves who breached the broken fence. https://www.horseandhound.co.uk/blog/hovis-friday-diary-the-electric-fence-was-waving-about-like-an-octopus-at-a-rave-776504

Wow, you’ve really had more than your share of snow and ice this Winter. Thank God it’s February and Spring’s around the corner. Please stay safe and warm. Love Ya. Hugs, JB
Oh my, sorry that it just keeps piling on for you all up there. What a huge weather system and came loaded with a full deck…uhhhh. Go away, Landon.
Thank you for Hovis. This one hit home because our Ginger Mare really was an escape artist. Too cute.
Go, Tap, GO!!
Dear Sandy,
Thanks bunches for bringing us Hovis! What a guy!
Hope you thaw out soon — hang in there, hot and sultry will be here before
you know it.
Hugs and Love 🥰
JB, was just coming on here to congratulate him.
He and William the incredible rider seemed to have hit it off.
Congrats to HRC and all of his connections.
Some good races this weekend too! Hold tight!
Safe and sound for all.
