Cheers…..it’s Christmas Eve!
This is SO EXCITING!
I can’t believe it! My dear friends at BARN 55 all got together this morning to send ME…and ALL OF YOU…a wonderful Christmas HELLO!
They look fabulous wearing their new PRIDE OF BARN 55 sweatshirts with ME on the front! I am so incredibly touched! I heard MY JOHN and Dottie had them made for everyone as a fun Holiday Surprise! If I say so myself, they all look TOO CUTE!
Oh look, there’s MY MARIO standing on the left! YOU’RE LOOKING GOOD, MARIO!
Then there’s JUNIOR, FRANK, ANGEL, STEVE, BRUCE, COWBOY, HONORIO, ABI, CHEVA, and LUPE … to name a few. These wonderful people have all been my dear, dear friends for so many years. I have spent so much time with them and shared so many remarkable moments!
CHEERS TO ALL ….. YOU LOOK ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIC! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
It is so great to see them again…as one big group…standing right out there by MY TREE at BARN 55! Such fond memories!
The holidays…they are really a special time to touch base with the people who you love and share so many fabulous times with in your life!
I hope your Christmas Eve is one to be treasured…and that you, your family, and dear friends keep in touch…just like BARN 55 did with ME today…and EACH OF YOU!
All Blessings!
With Love,
Hugs to All~ (Especially All of my dear Barn 55 pals!)

Zenny, How Wonderful to get a post from you this Christmas Eve.
Merry Christmas to all your family horse and human and all of my friends here. To Everyone love you all.
To Everyone I wish the best health and happiness.
Zenny I love you very much and I am saying prayers to the Good Lord above that he will keep you and Baby Z and Bernie healthy and happy for many many years to come. Zenny I wish for Angels to be with you and see you safely through a wonderful birth next year and I thought this such a wonderful time to talk about this as we celebrate our Savior’s Birth. Zenny may all the angels that the good lord can spare be with you.
Zenny I would like to lift up some other horses and Humans if I can to the Good Lord, as over the last few years we’ve lost some gentle giants.
@Indian Charlie, my dear dear beauty who lost your battle with Cancer I pray to the good lord that your running in the green pastures now of heaven I know just stone throws away. I pray that Cancer can be illiminated from us all one day
To all the horses we’ve lost in the last few years to name a few, Cloud Man, John Henry, Lost in the Fog, Barbaro, and our human friends Bobby Frankel, Jess Jackson, Harry Aleo, Edward Evans may we remember all of you and may you be a stones throw away with our lord and hope to see you all again one day.
Merry Christmas to All. Peggy

Merry Christmas, all! Besides the arrival of “War Horse” to look forward to, I’ve been checking the progress at Norad Santa — I can’t believe they went to all that work, just to show “Santa”, it brought tears to my eyes. http://www.google.com/landing/noradsanta/index.html#utm_campaign=en&utm_medium=hpp&utm_source=en-hpp-na-us-gns-gm&utm_term=norad

Going to go back and watch the helmet cam of Ebby working that John just recently posted. It’s fantastic. She appears very aware of her surroundings and inquisitive just like you.
We love you Zenyatta!!
