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~

For Judy Berube: Thank YOU for all the links you provide us, which unfailingly boost the days. There is a link somewhere back about ‘Invisible Ink,’ the miracle Thoroughbred who nearly died, but went on to place in the 2001 Kentucky Derby at odds of 55-1, and you may have seen that it ended with Churchill`s & Jimmy V`s wisdom, ” .. .never, never never give up.” ~ ‘JB-Style Hugs,’ too.

Happy birthday, Mrs. Moss, and many thanks and blessings for your generosity in sharing Zenyatta with the world of folks, now officially called Dumplings, who love her without reservation. She is after all, the horse of a life time for many of us. I know you love her too!
@ Dottie and Zenyatta: Thank you Dottie and Z for letting us know what a special day this is. Love you Zenny!
@all the Dumplings: Thanks for sharing your thoughts, encouragement, prayers, good humor and your lives with the rest of us. I am a little shy since this is my first post, but I’ve been a reader from the beginning. This seemed to be a great day to share my gratitude to this group for being being so positive, informative, inclusive, caring and sensitive to each other. I think of you as friends and look forward to getting to “see” you every day. Thanks for teaching me so much and not only about horses. High Hoofs.
@Diana S: I confess! I really want a Dumpling name tag!!! Please tell me what I need to do. I will e-mail you so you can reply or answer at Z’s postings.

Happy Birthday to a lovely, classy lady.

@Doris McQuiddy–welcome to the family!
I’m going to say something to Ann (if she reads these) that I have said on other blogs before, but not to her personally. I have loved you and Jerry from the time that we first went to Old Friends and learned from Michael that you donated your dear Ruhlmann to Old Friends, and then you went on to win the Derby with Giacomo. I thought Ruhlmann was amazing, and he reminded me of our horse so much. RIP dear boy. You have been my FAVORITE (without a doubt) owners ever since, and this website is just the best. Many of us are going through trauma, experiencing weather-related disasters, and many other trials of daily living. We have found this website to be a “soft place to land” (as Dr. Phil would say). You were so forward-thinking in getting Dottie to get this going and maintain it for us. I don’t imagine that such a thing has ever been done before, and it all started with the LOVE you feel and project outward. You are reaping many times over the reward for your caring. I pray it continues for MANY years to come. God bless.
And Zenny–good night, sweetie. Love you and Baby Z always.

DMCQ: You are definitely Official! Initials and all…First Degree no longer :)

Dear Kathryn Cogswell:
Thank you for your kind words. Yes, I saw the link about Invisible Ink. “Never, never give up”. Good words to live by. Hugs, J.B.

Dear Queen Zenyatta –
I wonder what special gift you sent to your Human Mom, Ann Moss, for her birthday today. I bet it was something you made yourself – maybe one of your pretty paintings. :)
.
Happy Celebration, Mrs. Moss, to a lovely lady who always presents herself with grace and dignity as well as happy compassion. One of the best parts of visiting John’s barn on Saturday as part of the Dumplingz was seeing your lovely horses and the name tags alongside the stalls showing the two of you as owners. Those are lucky horses to have you as owners!
.
Pleasant horse dreams to All – HH
DJ
To JB: Hugs for no reason :)

Happiest of Birthdays to you, Ann! You are a shining example of the addage, “You reap what you sow…” Your generosity and kindness and sharing Zenny with others is reflected in this outpouring of good wishes for a lady who has been so gracious in making the world of Zenyatta and the sport of racing accessible to us all. We are forever in your debt for sharing what’s best about this sport – especially, the world of Zenyatta. Thank you, too, Dottie for being the wonderful connection that you are and voice of Zenyatta. Cheers to all!!
