Dear Friends,
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I sincerely hope each of you had a wonderful, healthy, happy, and SAFE New Year’s Eve and Day! I thought about ALL of you a great deal!
Sarah and I ushered in our New Year by talking a lovely stroll in the paddock and having a wonderful CHAT sharing our 2012 New Year’s Resolutions. It was very special and such a joy to have this quiet 1 to 1 time with Sarah! TASTY was resting and enjoying the sunshine while we were having our visit! What a special time!
Thank you for all of the comments about the new web-page design. We will share all of them with TYLER and KYLE. Tyler and she have worked together for several years now…and they will help us through this transitional stage and consider all of your suggestions. Thank you so much for your candor and kindness. We want to make it the best it can be for ALL of YOU!
One thing that many of you asked about is the FACEBOOK icon. This is the one that directly takes you to ONLY my FACEBOOK page….and you do not have to be a member of Facebook to visit. On our new site, this icon is the blue…’creatively designed F’ near the bottom of the page. If you click on this, it will immediately take you there. ENJOY!
As you may have noticed, we passed the 95,000 mark over the holiday. HOOF, HOOF, HOORAY to ALL! This is so exciting!
The New Year offers so many fun things for us to talk about and share. Please keep posted….one very special thing that you have been asking about is coming out very soon.
With Love,
Hugs to All~ (Happy, Happy 2012!)

Just a few words to say
Happy Birthday,
And I’ll be back in a bit
With a poem that I hope will fit
To celebrate your special day
And your unique ways.

Hi Z, Well it is that time again. Another birthday for both of us. I am giving you a Birthday kiss. Did you feel it? Another special kiss to your bump for baby Zybie. Have fun today. love you stay warm
Beckie
This will be a wonderful year for you Zenny. So many good changes coming you way.
We’re all looking forward to the birth of that special baby Z.
Do you know how long they’ll let the baby stay with you??? Someone told me they start training the baby right away. That can’t be right. Babies need to be with their mommies.
Sharon in Atlanta, GA
Hey, Becky: Yes, they start handling the baby right away but they won’t take it away from Z for a good while. They just want the baby to be haltered and led so that it’s used to people and doesn’t get scared. Don’t worry, the folks at Lane’s End have done this thousands of times and will take good care of Z and her little one.

I re-posted one of my comments too, because of “awaiting moderation” message, and then original one came through. Apologies for redundancy!

Maybe that very special thing is the “Z” pin?!!
Wow – love the new layout!
While we are all looking forward to Zenny’s sweet baby, I think these days are pretty sweet ones, too. It’s a true pleasure to see her so happy and content! Every day is a gift – as is every day that the sweet and glorious Zennyatta is in our lives. – Thank you again Team Zenyatta for sharing her with us!

Z you look gorgeous. Sarah is one lucky girl to have one on one time with the Queen. Like the new web site and congrats on reaching 95,000. Should go over 100,000 before Baby Z gets here. Hope You and Tasty have a great afternoon.

Good Morning Z….. You look so pretty taking your walk with Sarah. It is so cold here in Virginia. I hope you have grown in a nice warm coat. I had to put on a heavy coat for the first time this winter today. We had a very warm December here which I loved.
Tell Dottie that I love the new website. Hugs to you Z.

Zenny, this is a very cute picture of you and Sarah…I know you had some interesting “girl talk” as you strolled along. And, another surprise for us? My, you surely have our ears perked…you have become very good at keeping us on our toes.
I’m glad to hear TT was resting a bit. The two of you will be very busy in a few months.
Exciting times for sure! I continue to love this new site. Everything is so easy to find.
sue and tony
Zenny, you have the kindest eyes…we love the picture of Mama Z on this diary page.
Tell Sarah we appreciate everything she does for you and us…what a great team you make. There’s a lot of girl power in your life…Ann, Dottie, Sarah and TT!
We hope all your gal pals at Barn 55 had a great New Years, too!

A “WALK and TALK” — how wonderful! Zenyatta is “all ears” as she listens intently to Sarah.

Congratulations to Giant’s Causeway as leading general sire. I’m hoping that he’s next on the list for Zenny to be bred to and congratulations to Bernardini for leading the second crop sire list. His closest pursuer is S2.2 million behind him. Way to go Bernie: http://www.thoroughbredtimes.com/breeding-news/2012/01/01/giants-causeway-general-sire-list.aspx

Good to see you Zenyatta – I think I know what it is we’re all waiting for :):)
Take care of yourself girl, you look wonderful!
