Good Morning,
We are really enjoying rather pleasant weather in Lexington these days. My pal, Tasty Temptation, and I were out in our paddock and suddenly we decided we would ‘scratch each other’s back’. As you can see, Mathea was there just at that moment and took the perfect photo of us. I scratched TT’s back…and she sweetly gave me a nice little back rub at the same time. I must say that she and I are really dear friends. We get along beautifully.
I know about TEAMWORK…as I have been part of a TEAM my entire racing career. Thus, I know how truly important it is to work together to achieve goals. It is so nice to have a friend there to help you out when needed.
With Love,
Hugs to All~

Zenyatta what a wonderful time you and TT have just being horses. Yes we do love those ears, your dancing feet and dapples.
@Doreen good luck on your future as a vet tech. My daughter is also studying to be a v.t. and she is enjoying it alot. She sure love her animals. We have a standardbred and a quatert horse and eventhough our son and daughter are married we have the horses by our house so they have to come here alot to help. I love to watach them groom each other.

@Kimberly Potter-—Great news about the baby-to-come’s status, and also that you’re planning to come to Santa Anita for BCC 2012. I’ll look forward to meeting you!
@Doreen—Hoof ray for you for your equine studies!
@Karen—Lovely, evocative rendering of Noor’s arrival back in Kentucky.
Congratulations to Charlotte Farmer and Kathy Kimber on the successful completion of this epic journey for Noor.

@ Charlotte and Team – Congratulations on achieving your goal, your “impossible dream”. You are an inspiration to us all and I hope that you will take a well deserved rest after your years of effort. Many hugs and grateful thanks, you are one awesome lady!!!

@Barbara Wood and Judy Berube—Did I share with you before that my dogs all have horse nicknames too? My big, beautiful female tri-color collie is my Zenny, my border collie-type is my Black Beauty, and my medium-sized brown short-haired mix Sweet Caroline is my Seabiscuit.

Here is an article from last year which tells a little about Tasty Temptation’s career. TT is a Canadian girl with Northern Dancer in her pedigree. It looks like she and the Queen are good pals.

Dear Abigail from Montreal:
Lovely post. Thank you. Hugs, J.B.

@judy berube. So glad that you are okay after that storm. It seems that Irene is gone, but the aftermath for many is very bad. I hope that all of those who have been affected get the strength to keep going and that all will be resolved for them as soon as possible. Communities usually pull together in these tough times and good does eventually prevail. Let it be soon.

@Doreen – wish you all the very best with your hopes and dreams. It must be so satisfying to know that you are on your way to doing somehting you absolutely love.
@Karen Gogue – thank you so much for the wonderful words with Noor being laid to rest and able to come home.
@and to Kari Bussell what a wonderful video brought lots of tears

Dear Kari B.
Thank you so much for that lovely video. I don’t think there is anything more beautiful than a horse running free. Maybe that’s what Noor’s spirit is doing now. Hugs, J.B.
