Good Morning,
I want to wish all of you a very Happy Memorial Day Weekend! Please be safe as you travel and enjoy your free time! This is technically the opening day of the ‘SUMMER SEASON’. It is such a terrific time of the year!
On the West Coast, we have the Hollywood Park Meet running now. In mid-July, Del Mar opens for their summer season. On the East Coast, the Belmont Meet is in full swing now. Then those horses move upstate to Saratoga for their summer racing dates. In between, Churchill and Delaware Park, to name a few venues, will enjoy their seasons. It is a very exciting time in racing. These summer meets are FUN! I always enjoyed them! The big stake days are quite crowded and the people are always so enthusiastic!
I’ve heard many people also like to BARBEQUE on holidays. My Pals and I are very content to GRAZE! One thing for sure, we all like to be with our friends and have a GREAT TIME!
This is the view I have each day from my gorgeous paddock. My pals and I get to share time with our friends and enjoy this absolutely lovely scene each day! We have soft breezes here now and the sunshine is just perfect!
It is funny how the simple things we see so often in nature can be so special! It is really the time of the year to enjoy the outdoors and all the beauty nature provides for us!
FROM MY HOME, TO YOURS… HAVE A SAFE AND BLESSED HOLIDAY!
I’ll catch you up on ALL of the news next week! HOOVES CROSSED!
With Love,
Hugs to All~

Queen Z,
Love you and wish you the very best always. I’ll have my fingers crossed
for any and all exciting news about you
next week.

Thank you for sharing the beautiful Kentucky scenery with the rest of us. In Texas it is still quite green and pastoral looking because we have had enough rain and it isn’t too hot yet – it will be looking dry and hot soon enough – ha! Other parts of the country are not having as much nice weather so our hearts go out to those who have been affected by the storms and late frosts. I hope that you stay safe and warm and dry and happy there in Kentucky, Zenyatta and I wish you and all your connections a great Memorial weekend, too. And thank you for all the memories!
Zowie
Your paddock really is lovely!. Here’s hoping you have a glorious holiday. Wink Wink back at you. Just in case, I have fingers and toes crossed and Punky (my Sharpingo, dog) has her paws crossed for you.
Cathy Marshall
Love ya, Zenny! Have a wonderful time with your pasture gals!
Pat Beck
Miss you! Want to see you–full body, not just a head shot, to see if you’re “showing” yet!!!
Love you always, Z.
Sue Fredrick
I have seen your gorgeous view in person when I visited my favorite stallion A P Indy. It is just like a fabulous park and you deserve every minute you spend there.
Happy memorial day to all, especially our wonderful military active and retired, blessings on you all.
Can’t wait to hear you news, blush, blush.
Luv and kisses on your nose.
Susan
You keep you’re hooves crossed and I’ll keep my fingers and toes crossed-Hoping we’re “crossing” for the same reasons
Have a great weekend Z
Your best friend Mike won a big race for Wesley Ward in Folkestone England! Cool huh?
Dmama
Z….. hooves crossed. As always look forward to your posts. Be sure to tell Dotty that Jimmy Fallon has just put a book out there of his “thank you notes” AND if he can do that, wouldn’t it be wonderful to someday have a book of your diary posts…..we would all love that!
Lisa in Co
Much love Zenny – I will be riding my horses all weekend, and watching them as they look out at their view. Watching them watch is one of the great pleasures of life. Enjoy your view, beautiful girl. You are perfection.
Denise
We love you Zenyatta !!!!
Hooves crossed waiting for the exciting news!! Happy Memorial Day Weekend !!
God Bless all the men & women in our military!!

Hooves crossed for you beautiful Lady. You are one special girl, that’s for sure, to have people that love you so much they provide you with such a wonderful view, great friends and all that delicious grass. Whatever news you have for us next week you will always be thought of with fondness, because you are one of a kind. Have a wonderful Memorial weekend. Enjoy your the company of your friends and loved ones.

Best Wishes to you and all your friends!! Enjoy this Holiday and the true meaning of what we are celebrating! Can’t wait to “catch up on ALL the news”…
Abigail from Montreal
Ms. Zenyatta: Your paddock view is absolutely stunning … so peaceful and so green! I feel as though I’m standing right there with you, seeing what you’re seeing, breathing in the smell of bursting-everything and contemplating the sweetness of life. Happy Memorial weekend Zenny, Dottie & Team Z (in Cal + at LE). Zenny — I think it’s okay if you don’t BBQ, but you DEFINITELY should get at least a lick of Guinness — and remember to share with the posse!
Can’t wait to hear ALL your news, wink! wink!
Love you, beautiful lady….
Dani
Zenny – I wish I had a house with a wrap around porch that overlooked your pasture. I’d be so content just to sit there for long hours and take in the beauty, the serenity and all the little things nature provides us with that we so often take for granted. I’m so glad you and your friends have such a view and take it in everyday with grateful eyes and ears. Enjoy the things you love most to do this weekend and we will wait to hear ALL your wonderful news next week. You are so loved. Happy Memorial weekend to Dottie, John, Mr. and Mrs. Moss, Barn 55, Lanes’s End and all of Zenyatta’s fans here on the website. Hugs and kisses Zenyatta. xxxooo
Joan Walls
Zenny – I hope that you and your friends have a great weekend also. The rain has really made the blue grass nice and lush. Waiting for your next diary entry and have my “hooves crossed!” Love and hugs. Joan

Happy Memorial Day Miss Z — you have one lovely view while you munch on that green Kentucky grass.
Our mare had a filly at 3:30 on Wednesday morning, it was a “red bag” delivery. Fortunely we were there and able to safely deliver a little filly. It is still touch and go (we’re not out of the woods yet). But she is a fighter and her mama loves her so. Since you have some “Irish” connections maybe you could suggest an Irish name for her. Her daddy is “Frenchman’s Irish” and her mama is Sassy Be My Name. Maybe she should be named Irish Miracle, cause that is what this has been. I did some internet research on “red bag” and I don’t think many foals survive this type of delivery.
God bless our armed forces and those that have served our country, let’s remember what this holiday is about.
Sue and Tony
Good evening, Zenny! We are so anxious to get ALL the news from you. Next week should be very special for the Zen Nation!
Hooves crossed that you continue to be your marvelous self in every way. ;-)
And to your awesome teams at LE and Barn 55…Have a safe and happy Memorial Day Holiday. We will especially remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice to keep us free.
Stephanie Q
To be honest since RA is having a Colt, I’m hoping for you to have a Colt as well- Kentucky Derby 2015!!!
Fran
What a beautiful view from your paddock. The grass is so lush and green-Wow, what a wonderful place to live. I do have a question since there have been so many tornadoes – what does Lane’s End do with the horses if you have a tornado alert? Do you stay in the paddock or do you go to your stalls. I have often wondered. Have a wonderful weekend Z. We are hanging around the house. No shows until we are positive the virus is in check. We would rather be safe than sorry. xxoo
Susan in TN
Zenny-what a wonderful view! Is this what you see when you stand on your hill? I hope you and The Girls have a peaceful Memorial Day weekend, grazing and rolling and standing in the breeze. I am barely letting myself think about “ALL” your news-so I’ll leave it at that! Love you!
@Dottie and ALL of Team Z: Thank you for your gift to us. Hope you all have a safe, happy holiday weekend and can spend time with your friends and family!
Thank you to our military-past and present!
TO ALL MY Z FRIENDS: Have a good weekend! Love to you all<3
Donna from Baltimore
HOOVES CROSSED, Queen Z!!!! And to all my Zen friends – Have a Safe and Fun Weekend – and don’t forget to spend some time thinking about the people who are the reason for the holiday – our veterans.
Susan in TN
@ Chris H: I am pulling for your baby!! Keep us posted!
Alene
Hi Zenny, Can`t wait to hear the news….Have a wonderful time with all of your friends and enjoy just laying back and grazing…Love You, Lots of Big Hugs and Kisses, Alene :-) Yes, 2015 will be the triple crown year!!! I`ve already predicted it around 5 months ago. Again, it will be Rachel versus Zenyatta. wink, wink. :-)
