Good Morning,
July 14th is a very special day for a member of MY TEAM! It is my dear owner, Ann’s birthday!
At this time, I would like to send her a spectacular HIGH HOOF wishing her countless blessings. I have already sent her a personal birthday greeting…but I also wanted to send her one more BIG HUG…not just from ME…but from ALL OF HER DUMPLINGS!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ANN!
WE LOVE YOU!
I must say, I absolutely LOVE this photo of Ann and Jerry. They collect all of the saddle towels from the STAKES RACES their horses WIN! John took this picture of them in front of MY 2 VICTORIOUS BREEDERS’ CUP saddle towels. I was post #1 when I won the 2008 Ladies Classic…and #4 when I won the 2009 CLASSIC! How special is this!
Here’s hoping it is a GREAT DAY…and in one way or another…you are also able to celebrate a TREASURED and FUN moment with someone who is dear to you in your life!
With Love,
Hugs to ALL~

@Darlene. Your comment from 296 asking why there had to be a contest and when the team would open Z up to visits.
You need to understand that Zenyatta is at Lane’s End and this outstanding farm does not allow masses of visitors to the broodmares. There are very good reasons for this. These mares that are in foal, for their safety and welfare, are kept sequestered to make sure they are not exposed to any viruses or bacteria that people may unknowingly carry on their hands or clothes. They want the mares calm and happy during the time they are carrying their foal. A mare can slip a foal at any time during her pregnancy. It’s Lane’s End job to get these mares in foal and keep them that way. They have already made exceptions to their rules by allowing very limited visitations to Zenyatta because they recognize how extremely popular and well-loved she is. Lane’s End is not set up for large crowds of people and there are way too many horses there to allow unlimited visitation to the mares. Can you imagine what would happen when hundreds of people showed up to see Zenyatta? Not only would this put Z in jeopardy but it would sorely tax the other horses and the people working there. As another poster put it and I have to paraphrase here, Lane’s End is not an amusement center, it is a breeding farm and their first and most important responsibility is to keep the horses safe. I hope, in some small way, this explains why we all can’t go to see her. We all wish we could, but we understand why we can’t.

Happy Birthday, Ann! May you have many, many more!

Happy birthday Ann! I so admire your love of life and your generosity in sharing Zenyatta, Giacomo and Zazu, as well as Team Z with all of us. It’s such a truly kind and loving expression of who you are.
I second what eastcoastkid had to say — that was one absolutely special photo of you and Zenyatta on Mother’s Day, I believe. Another “wink” from Zenny on that one, I now know!
Have another wonder-full day, big girl. I love you forever and always.

Happy You Day Ann Moss!
You light up the dream of Zennyland. Your face and smile is the true gift for all that you have graciously invited into that dream. The Z Dumplings cannot thank you enough for the sunshine you have brought into the our world and that of Thoroughbred racing. And may Heaven above bring you more joy and happiness with Zenny’s foal next year and that another champion is born….Happy Birthday sweet Ann!

Happy Birthday to Mrs Moss. As many have already said, you have given us the gift of Zenyatta, we are so lucky, and appreciative, that you have shared your amazing horse with us to this extent. The gift we give to you, is the knowledge that you have inspired us to become kinder, caring, more aware of a variety of causes, and to give back to animals & humans in need. To know that we don’t have to be wealthy to help, just rich in character, to do what is right without fanfare, and this we learn from observing you. It’s said imitation is the highest form of flattery, so on your special day, you should certainly flatter yourself knowing you have done a tremendous amount of good in this world. In honor of your birthday, I will make a special effort to make at least 3 people smile today.

A very happy birthday to you Ann. Zenyatta’s many fans are so grateful to you and Jerry for sharing her with all of us. She is a treasure and unlike many treasures in this world that are kept away from people, you have shared her with so many at different times. Many blessings to you today and always. Zenyatta, you are one lucky girl. Love you much.
