Dear Friends,
It is a very snowy morning here in Lexington. So, I get to stay inside for a bit and visit with Charles. Lucky me! (Notice the sun shining in my back window. It is absolutely gorgeous here. Looks just like a holiday card!)
My Sunday message should be coming out soon…sorry for the delay! (Might be just up now.) Dottie was helping with Sarah’s video of me enjoying the outdoors…and we had to change a few things do make it all ‘pop up’ easily for all of you.
In it, you get to see me DANCING to MY OWN SONG in the snow and in the paddock! This is really special.
Have a wonderful day! Charles and I are sending you one big HUG and KISS from my cozy barn at Lane’s End Farm.
With love,
HUGS TO ALL~

What a gorgeous farm. I’d be happy to live in that barn!

If it’s about the last 300 years, it’s about the next hundred or more, as well. She’s ahead of the beat; good jazz, ‘Z.’ ~ Thank you, Dottie & Sarah, Charles and Todd . .. riding this crest just gets better and better. Smiles, laugh-out-loud joy, plus a few tears. You ARE THE SHOW, Girl .

Hi Z-great video. You seem to really like the snow-you were prancing and dancing and even trotting. Has to feel great on your feet now that your shoes are off. Our Doozey sends her love to you too! I know you can’t wait till you can check out your paddock by yourself-you will once you get your snow feet! You will have such a great time. Our Doozey loves to roll in the mud after it rains-she has such a good time. Wow, you are going to love rolling in the snow! Hugs back to you!

Are you getting tired of the snow, Z? Trust me, it’s usually not like this in Kentucky at this time of the year. Usually it’d be in the upper 40s or even warmer! Too bad they couldn’t have kept you in CA for a little longer till this cold weather broke. Oh well, glad they are taking such good care of you, even when the weather has not cooperated. And who knows, maybe you think the snow is really fun? Does it bring back memories from when you were just a little filly?

I completely understand the lip chain, but when I watched this video I could not help fantasizing cutting you loose!!!
Jenna
I’ve seen photographs of the farm in warmer weather…it’s just beautiful. Z will love it there. I would! I’d go running through the grass…those beautiful rolling hills.
Roberta
BTW, my friend who boards several broodmares at Lanes End says that AP Indy is really friendly and nice i.e., not nuts like so many breeding stallions.
Jena Hobert
Oh Zenyatta you are always beautiful. It is real cold and windy here. Everybody has their blankets on. Just be careful lady don’t get so excited you explode ok. Love from Secsea Dance, Salawgi, Simon and Picasso

My Sweet Lady Zenyatta, I wish I could just spend a day with you.Read your fan mail to you. Just be there to listen to you and give you a big hug and a kiss. Charles is one lucky guy! You look great standing there with your warm blanket on! You are just so beautiful! I love you, Zenyatta!

Lookin’ good Z! Z and Charles seem to be getting along. Nice comment from Roberta about AP Indy. Thanks so much for the daily posts and for the new video’s at Lane’s End. Stay warm everybody. It’s freeqing cold up here on Lake Erie.
Alex Bowdoin
Dear Z, You are still too “racing” fit to be let loose yet. I watched the video and you are still doing your “War Dance” as I have always called your throwing your right leg out. You are “dancing” like you did with Mario, but now with Charles. I do think you like him….You look so very happy and healthy, must be all those carrots and Stout? We love you and miss you in the racing community!
Joan
It’s lovely to see you dancing in the snow, dear Zenyatta. I think you will be very happy in your new home. And to those bothered by the lip chain, I don’t think Zenyatta seems bothered at all by it and she is the one who counts. We don’t want her to be hurt by running into anything before she is settled down and able to wander freely in her paddock, after all.
jo
Charles is probalbly saying this is one tough date She takes me here she takes me there and she wont stop dancing! Not to mention all the treats she wants and gets. Hang in there Charles. You must be real special to have been chosen to be her friend. I think by now you see why we love her
Martha
Allen is right – Charles is one lucky guy. Stay WARM!
Linda / NJ
Oh, my goodness Zenny, your videos are terrific!! Of course you are beautiful. But you really look so cute and happy prancing around playing in the snow. Great song by Lisa G. Fly too. Well Zenny it is one week ago tonight you arrived at Lanes End. Looks like you are getting along very well with settling in. It seems like you and Charles have become great friends. Dottie, thanks so much for the daily posts, and for the videos. It is a lot of work putting these videos up on the web. Very time consuming. We really appreciate it!!!!!!
Catherine Uher
Charles is one lucky guy and you are the most precious and gorgeous creature God ever created! I love the new video of you dancing to your song and showing Charles your “moves”! I wish I had his job! I would work for free just to be around you all the time! I’m so glad to see that are getting more acclimated to your new home and that you received another gift basket from Keeneland and shared it with all of your girlfriends in the barn! Of course, I wouldn’t expect anything less from you as you are probably the most generous being that I’ve ever known! Thank you so much from the bottom of my little heart for letting us all know what you’ve been up to and how things are going for you Queen Z! Reading your posts is absolutely the bright spot in my day! Lots of hugs, kisses, and carrots! Oh, and a Guiness! Stay warm beautiful girl! xoxo!
Donna
You are such a love bug, Zenyata. Keep warm and happy.
Sharon in Ohio
Lucky Charles…you have charmed your way into his heart, of course…but what is a girl to do !! It is cold and snowy and we have a big winter storm in Ohio 18 degrees and lots of blowing winds…and you are close being in Ky. So, please keep warm and pull your blanket up nice and close tonight. We, all love you so much we want you nice and toasty warm…you are the Queen. You are so smart for staying close in for a while. The window in your stall is wonderful and what a room with a view. Love you much…thanks for keeping us posted.xoxoxo

Z,
Have you decided on a boyfriend yet? Too bad you can’t have a date with Galileo.
Stay warm pretty lady.
Kathy B.
Wow…Charles seems a bit different from the first pictures I’ve seen of him leading her around….could it be he’s fallen under her spell? it would be interesting to see an article or blog by her new caretakers of their experiences helping the Queen adjust to her new life. I just hope she doesn’t get bored later on….but right now she seems very excited to be there! She is truly gorgeous!!!!
Linda B
Hey Pretty Girl,
I can see from you stance in your stall you are still getting the feel of things. NO RUSH , Thanks to Charles you are safe and protected.
I hope that everyone there reads our notes to you and are aware how happy we are that you are enjoying the change . Take care Queen Z
Barb France
