Happy Saturday!
This photo is absolutely TOO CUTE! A few days ago, a dear fan of mine, Judy Gadwell, and several of her friends went to BARN 55 to visit MY STALL and see my dear little sister, Eblouissante. Well, while Judy was greeting “E”, she began sniffing Judy’s purse. Lo and behold, Judy started to laugh telling Steve that she had caramel corn in her bag.
The sense of smell must be something that is very well developed in our family. Last year, when I hosted a brunch for charity (The Los Angeles Zoo), I did the same thing. My one guest, Karen, set her purse down on a chair at the end of the table. While I was out grazing and enjoying myself hosting the visit, something kept drawing ME to Karen’s purse.
I walked right over to the table and immediately started to sniff Karen’s bag…just like “E” did with Judy. Suddenly everyone started to laugh and Karen commented…”Oh, I forgot….I brought some baby carrots for Zenyatta and they are in my purse.”
Karen immediately took the carrots out of her bag…..put some on the end of the table…and I began to snack on them. It truly was BRUNCH WITH ZENYATTA!
I find this so interesting. I guess many different types of characteristics can be shared in a family. “E” and I not only have a well-developed sense of smell…but we both have a great sense of taste (loving our treats and food), hearing (wear cotton in our ears), touch (love to be pet and hugged), sight (see everything all of the time).
This family thing is very interesting to ME!
Have a great weekend! Enjoy all of the wonderful stakes races around the country and LET THE SUMMER BEGIN!
With Love,
Hugs to ALL~ (Good luck to my pals Cloud Man, Zazu, and Cozi HRosie)

Zenyatta, I’m not surprised that your sister E sniffed a woman’s purse for treats when she and her friends visited barn 55 in California. I’m not surprised that something like that runs in your family. You and your sister both have very strong senses of smell, hearing, and sight. Were your parents like that too? If I ever come to visit you, you or any horse can do that to me all you want. I will bring a feast fit for a king for you. You’d probably get through it all in 10-15 minutes. You truly deserve it as well as your baby sister. That is a great picture of her.

RE: The dogs that attacked Frankie the Foal @Lil from KY and DJ: It was posted at http://carolinaregion.com/2011/06/05/frankieneedshelp/ that those dogs will never be able to hurt ANYONE again (they came from outside the ranch). I read that to mean that they were put to sleep.

@ Hi CHARLOTTE: Thank you for everything you are doing for NOOR. I was surprised to read Michael B. of Old Friends seemed disappointed in the $720 received so far for NOOR. How much is he hoping to receive in donations? Marilu
