Hello Everyone,
Even though I am technically ‘relaxing’ and in foal living at Lane’s End Farm…I am still one very PLAYFUL GIRL! I simply can’t resist teasing my pal, Charles, and checking out all of his pockets for treats. He did have some of my very favorites….but I had to check out so many places to find them. That CHARLES is such a tease…just like MY MARIO was!
As you can see by my guys and their clothing, it is rather warm in Kentucky now. As I am a California girl at heart, I do love the warm weather. It is perfect for me! My friends from the cooler climates are currently acclimating to it! We get to go outside for most of the day now…even into the early evening hours. It is absolutely delightful!
It also stays light later now in Lexington. So this even adds to our fabulous time outdoors. As you may remember from my time at Barn 55….I loved to just stand outside and look around. I could do this for an endless amount of time and be happy. Now, I’m getting to stay outside for most of the day…and it is very special to ME!
I also wanted to explain that Lane’s End does have a basic dress code for all of the staff to follow while on duty at the farm. It is primarily a green shirt and some type of khaki colored slacks or shorts. It is really a very attractive look…and ties in beautifully with the farm colors. That is why so often in these photos, you will see this type of apparel! I must say, my guys look great in these colors and this attire!
Plus, they have so many pockets for ME to play with and check out each day! I just love it!
Have a fun-filled Wednesday! Perhaps you can spend some time checking out many of the things you love to do most!
With Love,
Hugs to All~

While she looks beautiful in any color, we always thought green was the most flattering color on Zenyatta or background for her. After all she is half Irish (Street Cry) which explains her clear preference for Guinness.

Zenyatta- You always put a huge smile on my face and Joy in my heart. What I’d most like to do today is trade places with Charles….You are even more beutiful than ever….You KNOW I Love YOU!
@Tammy- Thank you for taking the time to upload & share your wonderful pictures. I really enjoyed them.

All the best from Massachusetts, Z!
You look beautiful, as always, but also very mellow and happy. I love seeing new photos of you and knowing that Team Z now includes a great group at LE.
I’ve just gotten the TV series Jockeys and love it. It’s fun to see Mike talking about you before and after your first Breeders Cup. He said that you were a sweetheart at the barn, but a warrior on the track, and were “priceless.”
Well, your warrior days may be over, but you are still a sweetheart and more priceless than ever, if that’s possible.
Have a great day enjoying the outdoors!
Jenna
I love her…..

That is so cute you trying to find those treats…you are a playful girl and that is what also makes you so very special. I am loving these pictures of you at the farm doing your daily things. It is nice you have people there who love you so much. I am glad you get to enjoy the outdoors…nothing like it. Hugs to you Z….. Happy Summer!!!!
Barbara Grimaldi
Can you get any more adorable than you are, precious Z??? That photo’s so charming and shows your ever-inquisitive personality… Someone here mentioned that when you retire from being a mama, you may go to Old Friends. Wouldn’t you rather go back to CA or stay at Land’s End? You should live as you have been living for the rest of your days…a Queen deserves that!!!!!!! Love you, Zenny!

You really do look too cute here. You remind me of another big fast dark bay mare that I used to take care of. She was playful too. Thanks for all the updates and great memories.
Janie
Oh, Zenyatta, you are so cute – goosin’ Charles like that! I’m so glad you’re happy and healthy and having fun, pretty girl.

Dear Zeny! I am so happy for you. You are in a wonderful place and experiencing a new miracle in your life. Take good care of yourself. Thank Charles for us. We know he loves you dearly. Hugs, Marilu

Dear Marilu:
I think the beautiful white horse’s name is ON HOLY GROUND. I think he ran 6th or 7th in the race Loro won. Maybe Tammy knows more about him. Hugs,J.B.

Dear Judy (Maass) Garwood:
Thank you for the link about Brass Hat. I remember him winning the Mass Cap at Suffolk Downs in Boston. Another talented gelding racer. Hugs, J.B.

Hi Zenny! It is nice to see you explore for your treats in all the right places. LOL. I found an interesting link shared by Ann Maree (she is just marvelous!) and it shows how “FARM CAMS” are being used by Winstar Farms so that the fans can see the mares, colts, and the foals being born on the farm. You pay a subscription which is well worth the price if you are a fan. Z fans, I ask this: Would it not be GREAT if LE did this for all the fans of the horses they board-especially our lovely Queen Z? Here is the link for WinStar Farms-please let me know what you think. Maybe we can start a “want to view” Z and Lane’s End Farm movement. It would really help satisfy our need to see her, and those who can’t travel or don’t have the means to, to be able to share in Lane’s End beautiful farm experience.

That’s quite a story about See You At Peelers. TOO Cute the “Zenyatta of Harness Racing”. Hugs, J.B.

Dearest Zenyatta,
Keep looking, sweet girl, I know you’ll find those treats! Yummy!
So glad you’re getting more outdoor time now. Isn’t it lovely? Especially when you have those rolling green pastures to look out over and your dear girlfriends to share the moments with you.
Happy Wednesday!
Love and hugs,
Stel
