Good morning Zenyata and TT. I hope you and all your connections had a great day yesterday. Was Santa good to you? Looks like another day of cool, crisp weather. It’s a good day to be a horse in Kentucky.

@Barbara Wood and anyone who’s seen Warhorse. Is it real sad for us horse-lovers? I want to see it but I’m afraid it will be a real heart-breaker
Abigail from Montreal
@ EastCoastKId: I DO have photos of Omaha & would be pleased to share them, although at least 2 are copyrighted to different newspapers. But I could send them with a copyright restricted label on them. Please send me your email at: abigail.anderson1849@gmail.com
@ Elizabeth & others re: THE VAULT: Thank you all for the kind comments. HUGELY appreciated!!!!

@Karen G, SMILEBOX will be saved and enjoyed for a long time. Thank You.
ALL Southern CA dumplings…Just found out that somewhere in Orange county, I have to get exact location..there is a Quarter horse FREE to a good home. I have a phone number if anyone is interested or knows someone who might be.
I recieved a FB message from Keith in Illinois, who was the man who got me involved assisting in my first rescue. Many of you may remember the mare. As an added bonus last week, I recieved another update from her new owner and she is doing so well. They never were able to get a clear read on the tatoo, but she is gaining weight, is loved by adults and children, has several horse buddies, pasture during the day, warm barn at night and according to her family….Is like a puppy dog. They call her Big Red (kids named her, I’m sure) because she towers above their other horses. She follows her two legged friends around and constantly has her nose in someones pocket looking for treats.
Hope everyone had a wonderful day yesterday!
Safe Racing Today…xoxo

Happy Boxing Day to all! We are beginning the Twelve Days of Christmastide so the “merry” continues!
@LouAnn Cingel: Your lovely post gave me such a warm feeling! Thank you for the heartfelt blessing. Sincerely wishing the same to you, also. Hope the New Year will be exceedingly kind to you (and to all Z-sters). This old world is greatly in need of these sweet blessings.

Here is a treat for fans of English horse racing. Kauto Star has just won the King George VI hunt chase at Kempton for the 5th time with a display of brilliant jumps. There is a reason that he was called the Extraterrestrial when he raced in France. Kauto Star is nearly 12 years old and shows no sign of wanting to retire. What a horse! Go Kauto Star!

I hope Z and everyone with Team Zenyatta had a wonderful Christmas! Best wishes and blessings to all of you. Good luck and safe races to all running in the first day of the Santa Anita meet.

Hi Z I had a great Christmas. My sister from WY sent me the pink leather bracelet. My poor brother in law couldn’t out what we were saying to him. He’s not terribly web savvy so it’s not entirely his fault. He was really interested in my bracelet. Then he gave me his credit card and I’m getting the teal one! And he let me do two day shipping! So it’ll be here really fast! That was fun! I got a lovely red scarf that has chains on it and what looks like leather pieces. I see haters or parts of them. I see bits. My other sis tells me gray will nicely it. Since I don’t have anything gray I called Old Friends and on Wednesday I can order a gray sweatshirt to go with this. I’m going to have The Wicked North’s name engraved because I met Mr. Wicked two years ago and fell in love with him. He just stood at his stall door and let me rub his face all afternoon. And he never tried to bite me. And jammies I got two sets of jammies! I LOVE jammies! Maybe that’s something you should think about putting in the gift store…all sizes with pretty prints of you and Tasty (provided its okay with her owners) and your babies once their born. Oh and spring and winter ones–like cotton for summer and flannel for winter. I know flannel may not sound like it has sex appeal but it’s WARM for cold nights. And right now here in northern CA I feel like an ice cube!
I know Jaime’s lovely print (which I’m looking at right now while I’m typing this) a part of the money goes to the Moss’s Foundation. I’m curious what the Foundation does? Without divulging anything to private does it help like backside workers at the tracks or something totally non horse related? This way when I buy something here I know I can feel really good about the cost cause some of its going to help others less fortunate. Inquiring minds…
I hope everyone has a splendid day and happy late Christmas! And Merry early New Year to all!
Hugs to all of Team Z! You guys are the best!
