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~

Ms Zenyatta, your sister, Miss Ebby, did 3 furlongs in 36.8, that is excellent. Your bro did well, and your sister is doing well…Such a beautiful big sister…Lisa g.

Dear Lisa G.,
They are at least drawing a line and following through. Hope other State Racing Associations do the same. Hugs, J.B.

Dear Marilu:
You’re welcome. I thought the same. He is gorgeous. If you go back to Tammy’s link. Count three photos across, that No. 5 is El Vine in the Moss’ silks. Count down three photos below El Vino; that’s Loro No. 5 in the Moss’s silks. Pretty sure. Hugs, J.B.

Zenyatta,
Looking good as usual.. We girls do love our sweet treats. Thank you Sarah for the gorgeous pics of our Ms. Z or is that Mrs. Z now. ;);)

Hey Zenyatta,
Me and my family are going to come to Kentucky over the summer and we wondering if maybe Lane’s End Farm would let the public come see you anytime. I know they usually only let vistors have tours of Stallions but your one special mare!
Hope to see you!
Lexi <3

Charlotte Farmer – Thank you for being an advocate for Noor. I sent a check to Old Friends today to help with the cost of moving his remains. I was made aware of his plight through this website and appreciate the efforts of Zenyatta and her team who make this website possible for all who enjoy everything Zenyatta!

I would like to state how kind and loving the ZENYATTA fans are!
It helps to deal with the article I just read in our local paper about an annual cattle drive here in Grass Valley, CA.
If you all have time, go to http://WWW.Theunion.com and read the story published on June 21, 2011. The title of the story is ‘Cattle drive marred by reckless driver’. Take the time to read, and be so thankfull that those of you in support of Zenyatta give yourself a pat on the back and a hug too.
Best of luck with your foal Zenyatta and I know that when this foal begins to run, we will be looking at the NEXT TRIPLE CROWN WINNER!

Dear Judy: Thanks for the info on the photos. The numbers really helped. El Vino 3 across. 3 down from El Vino – The groom holding Loro is wearing a No. 5 vest and it is also Loro right below in No 5. Loro is a darker shade of brown almost black from afar. Have to go to Barn 55 to confirm. Thanks again! Marilu
Marilyn
You go girl…..find that treat…and have fun doing it….

If you want to do something fun,go to TRF at James River and look for the Miss TRF contest for 2011.There are nine former race horses that were rescued by TRF and they have their pictures and stories about them and why you should vote for them.The top 3 will go to Colonial Park on ladies night June 25th,so the votes have to be in by 24th.It really is TOO CUTE!!Of course while I was there I sent them a donation in honor of you big girl.
