Good Morning,
Well, to all of my friends born on April 1st…and ME…HAPPY BIRTHDAY! (That includes Dottie’s sister, Fran!) I think I’m having some FUN visitors today from California to help me celebrate. It should be exciting!
Here is my cake from last year’s party at Barn 55! This is the photo of me literally taking a huge bite out of it. As Steve reminded Dottie yesterday, ZENYATTA really likes frosting! I bet my cake this year will have some!
I hope you have a wonderful day! The postcards are arriving. We begin the drawing next week.
I’m off to get ready for my guests! We’ll take lots of photos to share with all of you!
It’s PARTY TIME!
Yippee!
With Love,
Hugs to All~

Happy Birthday, Zenny. I’ve always loved frosting, too (the best part of any cake). Be sure to get a corner piece as they always have the most frosting on them. I have a good feeling that this is going to be a great year for you. Enjoy your special day with your family & friends. Love, Carole

Happiest of birthdays, dear Zenyatta. As so many others have said, you bring such love and joy to so many. And especially when one is feeling down, we think of you and our blues turn to happiness. What a tribute to you that hundreds of people are writing to celebrate you and your birthday. It is also my birthday, and because I share it with you, I consider myself the luckiest person in the world. When you gave me a kiss with your silky soft nose at Barn 55 last December, it felt like I’d been kissed by an angel. Thank you for being you.

Once upon time in the spring of 2003, a handsome Irish stallion, STREET CRY, united with a lovely Kentucky mare bearing a fancy French name – VERTIGINEUX and a fairy tale began. Lo and behold, on April 1, 2004 a gorgeous filly made her appearance. She was no April Fools joke. She had soft brown eyes, lovely blaze, dappled coat and two socked hooves just made for prancing. As the weeks, months and years passed, she grew into a statuesque creature who took a liking to sweets, especially peppermints and developed an affinity for cotton ear “jewelry” especially when she decided to try out her new dance steps or go for a run. Oh, she was an “eye catcher”!
Soon, a very smart bloodstock agent named David spotted her.
Hmmm…he thought…”This girl could go places… round and round and start to finish like lightning”. So he called his mom, Dottie, one of the horse experts in the family who told her husband, John one of the best thoroughbred trainers in the US, who told Jerry and Ann, two of the greatest horse owners in the world all about a tall dark stunning teenager running around in Kentucky. For the Cinderella price of $60,000 the filly became a “California Girl” with an incomparable family who nurtured her, loved her and shared her. She was named ZENYATTA and a fitting name it was – musical – unique. The rest is history for the annals of athleticism and horsemanship. She raced into the record books with her devoted jockey, Mike as her guide to glory. Along the way she gathered thousands of fans to support her. Once the Lady Z left the world stage and retired to the blue grass of home, she kept those fans and added many more who are now friends. Because of ZENYATTA who is singular in her beauty, kindness and gentleness and her family who shares her with us, we have become a community. This fairy tale has many chapters left and Zenny will tell them as time goes on. Just remember: fairy tales have happy endings!
Happy Birthday, Z
