Happy Thursday,
It is so pretty outside this morning. It is cool, brisk…yet totally comfortable and gorgeous! This is my second December in Lexington…so I gather this is their normal weather pattern for this time of the year. I rather like it!
Please note how my paddock fence is so white from the frost!
If I say so myself, I look PRETTY AS A PICTURE! (Blush, Blush!)
Sarah just stopped by to see ME a few moments ago…and I was giving her tons of kisses. She was on holiday for a few days recently…so I wanted to be sure to personally ‘welcome her back’!
People are quite busy now getting ready for the holidays. In the main office here at Lane’s End…the staff is decorating and putting up the Christmas Tree. Hmmm! I wonder if they will have MY ORNAMENT on it? Hope so! I’ll have to check this out!
Wishing you a lovely day!
With Love,
Hugs to All~

Dear Great One,
Gosh, I had to actually work all day today and just now have a chance to talk to you! Imagine that! :)
This is a beautiful photo of you and of course, you are a beautiful subject for any photographer. You are just the lovliest horse from any perspective! I’m so glad you are enjoying the weather and that it suits you!
I’m thinking March 3! Not 9! March 3!!!!
Your humble J

I just love the way you look; you are adorably beautiful. Thanks for the pic Sarah! Z, you can kiss me as many times as you want and I bet I can kiss you more!
I like the brisk air as long as I have my cuddle duds on, and I keep walking. Stay toasty Z and Tasty.
love you with 2 kisses on your soft nose, one for baby z

@eastcoastkid, loved your words on the previous post.
@Jag, sure glad they have plans for Stay Thirsty!

Oh, Zenny look at that beautiful face with such expression! Love it! Love every pic you share with us. Thank you Dottie and LE! Hugs and kisses to you Mamma to be! That day will be here before we know it. Can’t wait!

@Kari, many thanks for the link to the 2010 HOY awards. What a night that was…I knew in my heart of hearts she was going to win it. Whenever I need a little extra lift I watch it…just seeing all those smiles is something grand to behold. We bow to you, Our Queen Z!

Fab photo, Z; you always take a great picture. I just got the Zenyatta/Mikie Christmas ornament I asked for, and plan this weekend to frame the gorgeous official print of your full size portrait I got at your party in Kentucky. Stay warm; it’s FREEZING here in northern NM!
Love you always!
Debbie G/Kentucky
What a beautiful picture of you, Zenny! You look so majestic. I think Kentucky definitely agrees with you. I got your ornament in the mail last week and I love it! Hopefully I’ll find time to put up my tree soon so I can hang it!
@Terry Crow – Great joke!

You sure do look gorgeous in the pic of you at your paddock fence. It never fails to amaze me just how lovely you are Zenyatta! I am so hoping that you are enjoying yourself and that the holidays will be especially happy and exciting for you. Your family will surely come and visit you, wonder if Santa Claus will be stopping by. Have you been a good girl? Wishing you the best and sending you my Love & Blessings!

Zenny you just “pop” in your photos but when it’s Winter White, you “pop and sizzle” in them. Remember seeing you run free in the winter white at almost this time last year. I could only think Wow, what a sight you made. Absolutely breathtaking!
@Helen Donnelly–so sorry to hear that your husband is back in the hospital. I know that’s where you will be most of the time but take care of yourself too. Thinking and praying for you.
@Linda in FL–what part of FL are you in? I still need to get my print of Zenny and Secretariat framed. Might as well keep it in the Z family :)
@JAG and Barbara Wood–Sugar, Sugar is one of my favorites too. Bet we all have a lot of the same favorites :)
@Terry Crow–I had never heard that joke before. I keep chuckling to myself. And the “You might be a Renecks…” are hysterical too. Take care while you are away.
And again, I pat ourselves on the back for the great help we provided Marlene Dodge in saving these poor blessed angels.
And it’s all because of you Miss Queen with your wonderful team. Now I’m off to donate to Mike’s Charity for A Day. Hoping he’ll be picking the rescue where I volunteer, equestrianinc.org, one of these days. Maybe you can whisper in his ear Zenny–TOO CUTE!!
Lotsa love to all
KikiSim GA/VA
Oh Zenny, sometimes I wish I could comment ut just don’t know what to say. Love ya big girl!
Trish & Mike in Colorado
Our Zenyatta ornament is the ONLY ornament on our tree, truly (we are minimalists yet opt for the most important things).

Hi Zenny, You are as pretty as a ‘Picture’.
Lucky you are… Sarah, to go out and mush over the greatest and sweetest mare.
Photos are so appreciated!
Debbie

Maggie
Zen, you look lovely in the frosty air. I have my tree up with your Breyer ornament front and center….in between a pink and green light..too cute. Merry Christmas to you sweetie and Team Z!! Won’t the new year be exciting?? Hi to Tasty!! XO

Dear Zenyatta, You look gorgeous against that morning sky! Love you!

Good evening Zenyatta,
beauty of the frost :) How good to see your beautiful big shnootie again. And frost covered whiskers, to top it off. My goodness, what splendor in the paddock!!
I trust you’re doing well and eating well, and drinking lotsa good water. Even though it’s getting cooler now, keep drinking that water. Have a restful night

I can’t get enough of you! You are such a beautiful GIRL!!!! You make my day, when I am blue I just think of you. I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER and EVER!!!!

KikiSim, Welcome! It doesn’t matter what you say…just being here with the rest of the “dumpling” gang is quite enough.
Mary Copelin
KARI- Thanks so much for posting the link to the Eclipse Awards. Watching it made me cry, laugh and rejoice all over again.
I do not think I have ever been so thrilled as when they announced that Z was Horse of The Year. My dogs and cat thought I had gone completely nuts.
Love all of your posts, but this one really got me this evening. Mary
Alene
Hi Zenny. Yes, you look as pretty as a picture. No christmas tree would be complete without your ornament. I`m sure its on the tree at Lanes End. Sarah is sure lucky to get so many kisses from you. Love you Alene
Kimberly
LUCKY SARAH! TO GET KISSES FROM MOMMY TO BE….
Lise from Surrey, British Columbia
We love you very much!

Zenyatta, you are pretty as a picture for sure and better than that you are beautiful. I guess you are adjustable to all the weather conditions by now. That is really a good thing for you. Sending you our love Zenny and keeping up with your every post. Keep safe for you and your foal.Love you always.

@Helen Donnelly–prayers and love
@KikiSim–you basically said what we all say. You just didn’t take as many words–lol!
@Sue Fredrick–go Badgers!
Please pardon me. If this makes you gag because we’re not “big time”, just pass on this one. But I just have to share (Z., we know you champion excellence!) that our RG3 won the Davey O’Brien award tonight in FL.Many think he is so deserving of the heisman.
Here’s a link:

Sue Fredrick - Wisconsin
@BARBARA WOOD thanks for the plug for our Badgers. I too hope RGlll gets the Heisman, we aren’t considered one of the “big shot” teams either but slowly over the years have been racking up quite a nice record. I certainly recognize a quality player no matter what team he is on!! Go RG111!!!

Queen Z…you look great! My Zenny ornament is the first one on the tree and the picture of Zenny and Big Red is above the tree in a place of honor.
Susan In Tn: My mare Bailey is barefoot and loping in the snow. I am so happy, my husband says the better Bailey moves the better I feel!

Marshall (in NC)
Zenny, you are tres photogenic, as always! Love this photo! I received your Breyer ornament on Monday — LOVE it! It will have a prominent place on my tree very near the Secretariat Breyer ornament. How special the two of you will make the tree! Hugs!
@Terry Crow: Hilarious “stud” joke!! Great to have you up-and-running again!!
Goodnight all and sleep well!

Queen Z, As usual you look so fabulous. Be careful outside if frosty. Say Hi to Tasty for me. I love you so much!
