Hello Everyone,
I truly want to thank all of you for the heartfelt wishes and love you have expressed to me since hearing ‘my not in foal at this moment’ news! You are so sweet and gracious in your kindness to nurture ME at this time! I so appreciate all of your concern!
I am really doing fine. In reality, this is not an uncommon thing to happen with a maiden mare like I am. It happened early in the breeding season so I will have ample time to be bred again and get in foal. As I mentioned before, so many things in life don’t always go as planned. Upon reflection, I know with my career, it would have been great to run at 2 or early 3…but I just wasn’t ready. Fortunately, MY TEAM knew that and worked with me on my own individual developmental schedule.
In relation to this current news, it is simply a minor set-back…but I will be fine. I guess I just love to do things at my own pace!
Please remember, I AM A GREAT FINISHER! Once I get into the rhythm of things…I have a history of repeating the pattern successfully…19 times in a ROW! Now that thought is just TOO CUTE!
Again, thank you…ALL OF YOU…for the love and concern you have so kindly expressed to ME!
Have a wonderful day!
With Love,
Hugs to All~

Forgot to say that the photo by John Kaiser is beautiful. You look like your reflecting your wonderful and happy life! It’s a very “content” look in your eyes! Thank you for sharing.

“I AM A GREAT FINISHER” — LOL — well, that explains everything. How could we deny you the right to do this your way?
I’m sure Bernie recognized you the FIRST time he saw you, just like your stable mates did. Animals have ways of knowing things beyond what our “differently-abled” species understands. Horses know all about the body language of other horses and humans too! The Queen’s entry IS announced (whether we humans are capable of noticing it or not)! :)

Just wondering, has there ever been a more loved horse than Zenyatta? You are so wonderful in so many ways.

Happy, Happy, Birthday, Queen Zenyatta. Good luck is coming your way on this very special day I pray, In life, we have some ups and downs but no need to keep a frown, because trusting in God, he’ll never let’s us down……..
Sweet Zenyatta, In your whole life everything came later, You didn’t start racing until later , You didn’t get your HOTY until later, You weren’t so very recognized until later, but everything in your life that came later only made you so much more perfect, It’s the same here with your pregnancy, it didn’t go on the first try, but it will later on on the second try, because it will be perfect just like you and your whole racing career and life has been. I think something is going to be really special about this next mating, this is going to be the ONE , the mating that is going to be reserved just for you because you are so special Zenyatta. God has never let your, connections , your fans, and you down, he wanted to make sure everything was going to be perfect for his special mare, Zenyatta. God knows we wouldn’t be expecting anything less coming from you…….
In Zenyatta’s world , everything is perfect…..

Beautiful, Z! Happy Birthday tomorrow, April 1st.
The “greatest” always follow their own drumbeat, make their own stories at their own pace. You are indeed a great finisher, among other great things that you are and do.
As your dear John said to you before you left for Kentucky, there is nothing about you that isn’t special.
Romp, have fun, squeal with delight and enjoy your birthday!!!
Much love from you adoring legions of appreciative fans!

Ms Zenyatta, special request from you. Keep your hooves crossed that the gambling bill will pass in Texas. My cousin lives in OK, and I do not bet, I just love watching…except YOU. He would place my bet at Remington, of course, I would do an exacta, cuz, you know Big Girl…u did not pay well….lol..I love you…Keep your hooves crossed, I am not used to this kind of living..I was raised in CA @ SA, HP, Los Alamitos and weekend trips to Del Mar…Texas needs help…I love you..Lisa g
