Hello,
The staff at Lane’s End did a fabulous job decorating the office for the holidays! And….YES….my ornament is on the tree. YIPPEE!
There I am! This is my Breyer holiday ornament that we offer in the Zenyatta Shop. It is rather special and I know only a limited number of them were made. The ones we are offering are even more special as they are signed by MY JOHN!
Also, I’d personally like to thank BECKY from Radcliff, Kentucky, for making an ornament of ME for ME. It also has a very special place on the tree.
(OH, there’s ME again at the top of this photo checking everything out! TOO CUTE! Becky, you did a great job! )
What a festive time of the year!
In addition to all of these FUN things, our responsibilities still continue. We have so many people working countless hours to make our industry function as smoothly as possible.
The Racing Symposium has been taking place in Arizona for several days now. The participants are actively working to review and discuss various aspects of our sport. They want to analyze areas which can be further developed so our industry can become stronger…on all levels. This is so worthwhile. Panelists from all over the country are sharing ideas all embracing a similar goal…to make this the best sport possible for everyone involved…both HORSE and HUMAN.
This requires a great deal of hard work. The knowledge and dedication of these individuals is greatly appreciated. I am personally sending each of them a HIGH HOOF for his/her efforts.
Racing Cards around the country are very competitive. I’m hearing the early start to the Gulfstream Park Meet is off to a wonderful beginning. Hollywood Park has several racing days left of their fall meet…and the Grade 1 Starlet for 2 year old fillies is their signature race of the weekend. Other tracks around the country are also offering many other fine racing opportunities!
So much to study and review. I truly want to keep on top of all of these things…so I better get busy!
Have a very special weekend!
With Love,
Hugs to All~

I love Christmas Trees and especially love seeing you on one!

WOW – Am i first! Beautiful ornaments just like you! Hope you and Tasty have a great weekend! Love you, sweet girl!!

What a beautiful Christmas tree! It’s even more beautiful because of the horsey ornaments, of course!
I am still deciding where YOUR ornament is going to go in my house. I only have a small tree that can be safely locked away at night to keep my cats from “un-decorating” it, so your ornament is too big for that tree. I am thinking maybe on the mantel, front and center? With my horse lights maybe … hmmm, something to work on this weekend!

Zenyatta,
What a beautiful tree, and of course, it wouldn’t be completely decorated without you. Thanks for all the racing news. Love & kisses to you and Tasty. ;-)

I have your ornament too, Zenny, but mine is signed by the wonderful Mike Smith! It will have another prominent place in our Christmas decorating this year, just as it did last year!
I’m so excited because this is my birthday weekend and I’ll be spending Saturday at Hollywood Park and the 3rd race has my birthday party named on it! What fun! The Hollywood Starlet will be the feature that day, but besides my birthday named race, I’m very much looking forward to race #4, which has an entry named “Janero” trained by none other than John Shirreffs and owned by Jerry and Ann Moss! I ALWAYS root for those horses, and it would be such fun to see those silks in the Winners Circle tomorrow. It always brings back such fond memories. Enjoy the holiday season, Queen Z! Love you! <3

Awww Zenny
I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!!! Your tree looks so beautiful! I received your Christmas ornament couple months ago….they were sold out last year before I could order one!!! See girl, you are soooo loved – couldn’t even keep your ornament in stock! How bout that? Love you more and more Zenny….
Sue Fredrick - Wisconsin
Zenny love you, love the tree, love the ornaments…..so cute. I hope you are still having fun with tasty in the pasture while you two can STILL RUN. Later we might be seeing you do more of a waddle as Baby ZB gets bigger.
@TERRY CROW as per last post, I think you both should go second so there is no fighting. Your friend went to school with Liberace…..wow…..that takes me back, what a talent he was.
@MARY HALE how nice of you to say hello and once a Packer fan always a Packer fan. Hope your dad keeps pulling those strings!!
@TIFFANY VAUGHN what wonderful news about your dear sis, we will continue to pray for her.
@KARI BUSSELL I’ll talk to you later….LOL!!
Lovely Zenny, kisses on your nose
Linda Shull
Great ornament. Probably will get one.
Barbara Wood (Texas)
Zenny–that office looks so cozy. it would be a nice quiet place to read a book and look out toward the pastures. Does anyone know how many horses the Mosses own? I’m having a hard time trying to keep up with all of them. My virtual stable has run amok.

Oh, Zenny! They should have you crowning the top of the tree because YOU are an ANGEL!!

I will see YOUR JOHN, Dottie, Ann & Jerry, and YOUR MIKE tomorrow at Hollywood Park. Yes, the Meet is almost over, Sweetie.

This online catalog used to sell your ornament, but I see they only show your Breyer Horse. Yesterday someone asked where to purchase the ornament:

Such a beautiful tree and a cozy setting.
Today I voted for my chioce for the 2011 Vox Populi Award at the Throughbred Times website. (www.thoroughbredtimes.com) The first thing to be seen is a wonderful picture of Zenyatta and Mike Smith. The nominees are: Goldikova, Rapid Redux, Uncle Mo and Havre de Grace. The voting goes on until Jan. 2 and the presentation will be on Jan. 15 at Santa Anita Park.
There was also some sad news reported there. The promising 2 year old J C’s Pride had been euthanized due to illness. R.I.P.

Thank you to all on Team Z who work so hard to bring us the wonderful items in Merchandise.
Reading the daily post brings such joy & good info. I know it is hard work, Dottie.
Thank you. I appreciate all you do.
You make each day a little brighter.

Ordering the ornament is easy on this site.
Go to the top of this page.
Click on the word Merchandise.
Then click on Collectibles.
The ornament is in that area.
When you click on the ornament, an order form will come up.
Fill it out. I like to print for my records.
Hope this helps.
Merry Christmas!

@Kari Bussell – I left you a message at the end of Post #393.

@Zenny and Tasty: Please keep warm this holiday season! I’m glad it isn’t blizzard cold like last year! How will you mow the grass if it’s covered in snow?
Herds of rescue cats in my house make holiday decorating a challenge if not impossible, so I didn’t get your ornament, but my special edition print should be ready at the framer’s by next week. Santa came early!
