Happy Thursday,
The weather is continuing to be very pleasant here in Lexington. I am outside quite a bit these days with my pal, Tasty Temptation. We are having such a great time together and are both doing very well.
As a matter of fact, David stopped by to visit last night when leaving the office, and called Dottie and John to tell them how AMAZING I LOOK! Blush, Blush! He said my friend, TT, also looked wonderful!
One of the visitors that accompanied Jim Rome to see ME on Friday was Rex Chapman. Rex is from Kentucky and played basketball for UK as well as in the PROS. It was so much fun to visit with these guys as I really do love all sports. Being that both Rex and I are professional athletes, we have a great deal in common.
What is truly adorable…is the photo above! Rex and Jim are taking a picture of ME while Sarah is taking a picture of them. They are in their ‘let’s get a terrific photo of Z poses’. Gotta’ love this!
I would imagine, this is something which happens much more than one would think when people are taking pictures. I used to see this all of the time when I was at BARN 55. The fans would be taking pictures of ME…and MY JOHN ultimately has lots of pictures of them all taking MY picture. It just kind of happens!
As a matter of fact, the other afternoon Dottie was at BARN 55 and she noticed my little sister, Eblouissante, doing something in her stall which reminded her so much of ME! (I guess ‘E’ and I do have several mannerisms which are very similar.) In this particular instance, ‘E’ was resting her head on top of the haynet and looking around the barn watching everything going on. I used to do this, too, all of the time. In truth, I never wanted to miss a thing!
Well, at that moment, the same type of thing happened. MY JOHN captured the photo of Dottie taking a picture of “E”….just like Sarah did with Rex, Jim and ME!
So many things that happen like this just make ME smile. I would imagine if you look through your family albums and photos, you’d have several of these types of shots as well. People can be TOO CUTE in so many ways!
I hope you enjoy the photos of my pals, Jim and Rex, ME, my adorable fans,
and my darling 2 year old sister, ‘E’.
With Love,
Hugs to All~(Have a FUN DAY…and SMILE!)

Curious to know the status of PQ and Mona di Momma. Are they all still pastured together? The post seems to indicate they are not. Next time any of you SoCal folks visit Barn 55, would you mind asking?

Ana if you don’t like this site why are you on here? We Zenny fans love it and do not appreciate smart remarks in any form as I am sure most everyone on this site will agree! Thank you Ann and please do not listen to this naysayer lol!!!

Ebby is probably looking down the shed row waiting patiently for the delivery of her afternoon Guinness! “Where is that nice man with my Guinness? I hope he comes soon” On another note Z you look absolutely fabulous with your little baby weight. Glad you are looking so healthy and happy…

Z you are amazing and beautiful! Have a terrific 4th of July. Hope is quiet and peaceful for you.

There are some things one can never have too many of, at the top of that list would be photo’s of you, dear Queen.

@Ana: Uncle Mo can type and text as well, he is just learning, so he does not do it as much as Ms Queen Zenyatta does. It is amazing that all God’s creatures have spirits and can do what some think to be impossible.
Roberta Smith
Hello Pretty Girl! You look wonderful in your pic and Ebby too! You are two really beautiful girls! Glad you and TT are enjoying the weather outside and loving the prego girl talk! Dottie looks beautiful in the pic of her too! Have a lovely holiday weekend! Eat lots, rest up and excercise lots too with TT! I love you Zenyatta!

@Ana; go be miserable someplace else, PLEASE!!! The site is devoted to people who are devoted to Zenyatta, her connections and racing in general. If you don’t like what you are reading, go read something else that is more in keeping with your sentiments…whatever that may be, it is certainly not the Power of Love!

Dearest Sweet “Z”,
Good morning and Happy Thursday to Y.O.U. too! Yes, you and “E” both have similar mannerisms and ways of turning the ordinary into the extraordinary. Thank you for the hoof-print and tell your Dottie that she looks just lovely as well!

To Susan TN: Thank you for the photos of your gorgeous friends :) I enjoyed the newsletter very much as well. They appear so content and well cared for. Will send another donation their way.. I can see they could eat you out of house and barn!
……………………………………
To Karen G: Believe it or not, I am just addressing the envelope and sending it today. We are both in So Ca so you should get it in just a couple days. Thank you for such a heartfelt gift from all of us DumplingZ :)

To Kari B: You Go Girl! Just keep on struttin the stuff!

To Terry C: Don’t get tongue-tied and wait until the 5th of never for your next joke!

@Ana, you’d be surprised how many horses can type these days, just look on facebook, their all on there. If we saw it on fb, it must be true! It’s just people having fun, an escape from all the things we go through in life that are not so pleasant. Many good friends have been made through this site & other horse pages too, plus, lot of $ raised for charities. It’s all good, give it a try :)
DJ
To Judy MG: Thank you…one for you!

@ Kathy Wilson – obviously Ana does not love animals as we do and has no imagination to boot. I’m always imagining my cats talking and saying cute things to me or each other, so it makes perfect sense to me that Zenyatta would talk too!
Shannon From Cool
I’m smiling for YOU.
Trisha Veazey
oh how lucky Jim and Rex are to be able to visit you. That would be a dream come true.
Maybe one day. Have a great day pretty girl.
Love hugs and kisses

@Kari B.

“E” looks just like you with those ears and how she holds her head up high! Love your pictures. Glad to see your weather has calmed down and it is beautiful to enjoy!
Got something in the mail yesterday that sure made my day a VERY HAPPY ONE..my license plate with your name on it. Of course, I could only use 7 letters so it reads ZNYATTA! I have it on my car and am driving with my head up high and proud to answer people’s inquiries on “whose ZNYATTA”, which I have had to do a couple of times already. Imagine that, not knowing one of the GREATEST ATHLETE OF OUR TIMES!!! When I tell them, it seems to put a smile on their face. My husband said to make sure I have a little photo album with me in my car to show everyone what a beauty you are…good idea!!
I hope everyone enjoy’s the day and I thank you for making mine!!!
Barb France
@Mary G..I got a great chuckle on your post. What a great picture that paints in your mind. LOL Maybe John needs to have a Guiness cap on when passing around those pints!!! Cheers!
Suzanne
You’re looking great Zenny! Expectant motherhood must be agreeing with you. Your sister is gorgeous as well. I can understand why so many cameras are around you and your family. BTW Dottie, your hair is just beautiful.
Thanks for the updates. Have a happy 4th of July everyone!
DJ
To Barb F: Now that’s horsepower! Woo hoo! :)
Holly Zemba
Thankyou for sharing the pics!
Mary
Love the photos Z….. love the one of Dottie taking one of your sister, E. It is so cute….Z and E….. both so beautiful. Have a wonderful day in Ky…it is beautiful here in Virginia. Love you Z…hugs to you!!!! Us fans also are thankful for Dottie…she is such a great assistant to you…. love to you Dottie!!!
Carolyn Caswell-Brown
Good Afternoon Z, Is that Jim Rome of “Rome Is Burning”, on ESPN? If so, will he be doing a piece on you? Also, please plant a BIG KISS on him for me! Many Thanks.
@ Ana; Last time I checked, this free country allowed us to worship the God or Goddess of our choice. I feel blessed that Our Queen can type and cares about her followers. If you are “too cool” to play nicely, find another realm. Just a sugestion.
PEACE & LOVE
Jenna
I hope someday I’ll get to meet Zenyatta. But E is quite to cutie…not as gorgeous as Z (Z and E).
Happy Thursday!

@ANA: I don’t understand why you bother going to this website if you don’t like what you read.
J Smith is correct. We are just having fun. Yes, it is one way of coping with the hardships some of us are going through right now. Most important of all we LOVE ZENYATTA that’s why we are here. Zenyatta is a gift for many.
Ana, if she does not mean anything to you we understand. However, give her and her family the respect they deserve. MARILU
