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~

Hope the world always has treats for you, Zenny! You are SO deserving!

Zenny you look terrific. Love the fact that you are outdoors most of the time. Nature has a way of relaxing everyone.
God Bless.

You are TOO CUTE! I love you more and more everyday!!!!

Hello Zenyatta and Dottie, Thanks so much Sarah for these wonderful photos of Z at the farm with all of you who take care of her!!! She looks GREAT and HAPPY…
@Tammy, Thanks for the photos from the Vanity. I think Loro looks very handsome with the blue brow band, just like what Z wore in some of her races…
Sandra Ryan
Zenny’s thinking “Hmmm, nice butt Dude”.

You are too adorable!
Our little “Miracle” filly is 4 weeks old today. She was a red bag delivery, we were not sure if she was going to make it, but she is doing great and so is her mom. It is so much fun watching her grow and change — you’re going to have fun too when your little one arrives!
Kim
Zenny-you are too cute! You can stick you nose in my pockets anytime! My dog does that all the time looking for treats.
Brenda
It’s YOU looking SO CUTE searching for treats. I hope you found just what you were looking for and that Charles keeps a good supply in his pockets just for YOU. The horse that Victoria rides searches me for treats when Vic has her lesson and since she knows my voice I have to stay quiet and out of sight until the lesson is over. Who ever it was that said “dumb animals” sure didn’t have a clue. So happy to hear that you are enjoying your days and evenings out in the fresh air, contented mothers have contented babies. Hugs and kisses from Fort Erie Zenny.

Eblouissante had another timed work at Hollywood Park this morning — 3 furlongs in 36:80 handily. We must admit we have fallen in love with her since meeting her Sunday.

@Tammy. Thanks so much for all of the wonderful pictures. It’s really great to see the horses I’ve read about so much. Wow, a white thoroughbred – you hardly ever see that. I’ve mostly seen grays that turn lighter as they get older but they always have the black skin on their noses. On Holy Ground has pink skin and you don’t see that on gray horses.

Dear Z Fans:
Recent article in Thorough Times on what some former racers go through before they find homes. Some horses’ connection really care about them, but unfortunately not all. http://www.thoroughbredtimes.com/ When the pages loads, click on the photo of the Grey with caption below “Recent Rescues Raises Questions”. Hugs, J.B.

@Brenda. I grew up with the phrase “dumb animals”. As I got older I learned that people finally got smart enough to realize that the animals were smart all along.
@Chris H. That’s great news about Miracle. I’m so happy to hear that.

Oops: Should read “when the page loads” (me and my typos). Hugs, J.B.

Dear Judy Berube: Thanks for giving me the name of the white horse – On Holy Ground. What a beauty.
I have not seen photos of Loro and Frank so I hope to figure out whose who in the pictures of Tammy. Thanks again, Marilu

Another work for “E” Wed. She did some strutting 3/8 36.4 not to shabby for her second breeze! Maybe she’s trying to show off to the “55” crew!

Zenny, just a note to say that i’ve noticed that the daily or not daily pics are becoming larger — which means theya re taking up more and more of your fabulous racing shot! I certainly hope you NEVER take down that picture of you and Mike. while you do not race anymore, this is your history and part of who you are — and your glory, while it wil continue to grow and become more and more different as you become a mama, the world must never forget you in your racing days. You helped put racing interest back on the map in a good and better way.

I am doing one of the things I love most and that is reading what you have to say and looking at you each day.
Have a wonderful evening
Love hugs and kisses

@Marilu—If you click on any of the small pictures that Tammy posted, a big picture will come up with a caption. You’ll see that that lovely light grey (white) gelding is On Holy Ground, and Loro is very dark, almost black.
@Tammy—Thanks for sharing those superb photos from the Vanity.
@Judy Maass Gadwood—What a sweet story of John looking forward to Z’s “just being a horse.” Thanks for telling us about it.
@Terry Crow—You are so funny! Keep those jokes coming! And I hope your friend is home now from the hospital. Maybe he’ll join in here on Z’s website? It would be great to hear from him. And maybe this website would be good medicine for him too, like it is for so many of us. A little sunshine to look forward to every day.
@Shari Voltz—Thinking positive thoughts that all will go well for you.
