Well, Hello Everyone!
I know it is Sunday and I hope you are all having a relaxing day. I am. I just wanted to share with you a YOUTUBE Sarah did of me. I’m really stretching my legs out in the snow and starting to feel wonderfully comfortable in my new paddock. She has it set to music. Be sure to notice my marvelous dance steps! I’m still being hand-walked…as it is chilly and they do not want me to do too much…like ‘take off’ and slide in the snow. I am having GREAT FUN!
I am also nice and cozy with my friends in the barn when it is too chilly or rainy outside. My racing plates were removed on Thursday. My feet feel fabulous!
Keeneland sent me a large gift bucket of carrots and mints. How generous of them! There is enough here for everyone in my barn. We are one very happy group!
I also have 2 other people at the barn who work with me. I’d like to introduce you to them…Craig and Gieremo. So, lucky me…5 wonderful people here looking after me every single day. Charles, Todd and Andy send their regards to all of you as well.
David stops by quite often. He called Dottie yesterday afternoon while he was here petting me. He just sent the Moss’ a text update. It is wonderful that we are ALL able to keep in touch so often. (Gotta’ love all of this modern technology!) John is now home in CA with all of my other Barn 55 Friends…but we are keeping in close contact. He knows what I am doing every single moment and shares the updates with Mario, Steve, Carmen and his entire crew! He played the video for them at the barn….and they all loved it! My dancing is still such a BIG HIT with everyone! I guess it all started with my rather musical name…ZENYATTA! When spoken out loud, it really has quite a nice rhythm to it!
Enjoy your day!
With love,
Hugs~

Nice to hear you are doing well. When will they set you loose for the first time. I know you need some exercise. You do not want to get too fat. Will we be getting some more video anytime soon? Love you big girl.

I loved reading that sweet letter just now. I’ve been worried about you and the adjustment you have to make but it sounds as if everything is going well for you. I hope your new handlers are taking good care of you. If they don’t, just step on their feet (Not too hard though) Stay nice and warm sweetie pie. Love you to the moon and back, Beckie

Wish you were here today Queen Z, it was a balmy 80F at Hollywood Park…..no snow or cold here. You could have grazed on grass for hours today.
Jill Apro
Andrew (Andy as you call him) sent me a very adorable picture of the two of you today! Looks like the two of you are getting well acquainted!!!
Kathryn
Hi Z!
I am so happy to hear you are enjoying your new home. Everyone is so happy to have you here in Kentucky. I can’t wait to see photos/video of you playing in the snow – when you get your “snow feet”.
Take care Z, we all love you!

Hello Ms. Z….
I have been volunteering my time at a horse rescue called Days End Farm Horse Rescue in Maryland for the past ten years. And I am just soo happy to hear that you have a family that loves you soo much and take care of you. You always hears the stories of race horses not getting treated well..and its refreshing to see that you have an owner that cares about your well being and loves you.
I hope to meet you one day…that is my wish for vacation the next time.
Big scratch behind the ears for you and a big winnie from my horse Ms. Caramel Sunday and my pony Quibbles who are both from the rescue. They wish you well!

Carol Ware
I am keeping my fingers crossed that you will be allowed to have some visitors this spring. I will be in Kentucky for Derby week and would love nothing more than visit you. Be happy Big Girl. Blessings to you and all your friends at the farm including all the caregivers who I am sure watch over you like a hawk.

Thank you for the daily updates. I can’t get enough details about everything that’s happening in your life. Nice to have the racing plates removed. What will you do with them? I know you’ll never hang up your dancin’ shoes! Very funny about your name being a musical one. Zenyatta….I love the name and love you and all your family too. I miss seeing you and Mario together. Hoping for some more video soon. Thank you for these wonderful diary posts.

Hi Z! Wow, five new friends who will love you and take care of you. I bet it feels good to have your shoes of and very healthy for your feet! Now, all you will need is a manicure once a month. I hear it is going to be really cold tomorrow so stay warm! Love you Z!

Hello Zenny..
Glad to hear you are well and hopefully keeping warm. We all miss you. Mike is in Cali doing a wonderful thing with many charities. $1.00 a day to a different charity everyday. Pretty cool huh??? All for the less fortunate animals all over. Alot of them horses. So many are found in kill pens after their racing career is over. I know that will NEVER happen to you… Love you so and as always..kisses on that beautiful nose from me!!!
