Happy Friday!
I wanted to share with YOU some of the new experiences taking place in my life these days! Needless to say, Tasty and I are personally sharing all of these activities together! We are having SO MUCH FUN!
Yesterday, I was hand-walked around my new paddock. Matt was with ME every moment throughout the ‘new adventure’. All of this one-to-one time was given so I could have every opportunity to ‘check it all out’ and get completely acquainted with every inch of my new grazing areas and outdoor surroundings. It took some time, but I truly enjoyed every single moment! My dear pal, MATT, is so sweet and incredibly patient with ME. After completely touring my new paddock area, I must tell you…I was so happy…I BEGAN TO DANCE!!
I am such a FORTUNATE HORSE!
It was also a special time for ME when I was introduced to MY NEW STALL. I’ve heard it was freshly painted recently getting ready for ME. (Great job, guys! It looks fabulous!) I have an open area in the upper portion of my stall door so I can put my head out and see everything going on in the shed row. You know ME…I don’t want to miss a thing! Also, this is great news! When we are in our new barn, TASTY’s stall is located directly across from ME…just like always…so we can relax, visit, and have a wonderful time! We are the best of friends!
My new stall in the ‘foaling barn’ is rather spacious, cheerful, and quite lovely. Being a very curious horse, once inside the stall for the first time, I wanted to investigate every inch of the space. It is absolutely perfect!
TASTY agrees! She is extremely happy with all of her new surroundings and experiences as well!
At this time, I’d also like to take a moment and thank you for sharing all of these special and cherished moments in my life with ME! It is such an exciting time!
Please enjoy your weekend and all of the great racing taking place around the country! It is our wonderful sport of Thoroughbred Horse Racing that brought ALL OF US together!
With Love,
Hugs to All~(Also, Happy Super Bowl Sunday!)

There is so much going on these days! I love it! Giants or Patriots….which is YOUR CHOICE??? I hope it is a close score! Championship games are so much more FUN to watch when they are really competitive! I guess you can say I am someone who loves the excitement in sports of CLOSE FINISHES!

Hi there Zenny. I just LOVE to look at you dancing, because I always know it’s a sign of joy — just the way it was when you were racing.
I’ve been cruising around the racing sites & thought this might be of interest. Here is YOUR BERNIE’s brilliant daughter, GAMILATI, walking away from the field in the SAE Guineas in Dubai. This is how I picture a Zenny-Bernie baby, be it filly or colt!!!!!

Dear Abigail:
Thank you so much for the video of beautiful Gamilati. Her Dam is Illustrious Miss, daughter of King Mambo (a son of Mr. Prospector). Illustrious Miss sold for 600K at Keenland Yearling Sale. She ran in Europe and had 4 starts: 2 wins and 1 show.
Gamilati was brilliant. You’re so right; can you imagine what potential Z and Bernie’s foal might have. Love and Hugs, JB

Abigail, what a beauty she is!!

Abilgail; Thanks for the link to Gamilati, Bernies daughter. I picture Z’s-Bernie baby having a little more white to his/her blaze but not as much as Z’s.
Linda B from Va
You look so happy Zen. Happy mom HAPPY foal. To your heath and a high hoofs to Tasty also. Take care Precious girl . Matt you are one lucky young man.

My first post
What a beautiful new paddock (it looks huge) for YOU and Tasty also lovely new stall and you both deserve it. Matt and YOU seem to be walking in unison!
May be my imagination but could have sworn I saw a small hoof on your beautifully rounded belly a few pics ago.
God Bless.

Welcome, Elizabeth T., and please continue to post. Do you live near any of the thoroughbred farms in Kentucky?

Oh Zenny!!! Love that you’re still dancing and it would be so cool if your lil one has dance moves too! By the look of your tummy, it’s not going to be much longer! Love the muddy you too. Have a wonderful, relaxing weekend big Girl!
I’m a die hard 49ers fan but, will be rooting for the Giants because of Eli! Go Giants!!

Ms Zenyatta, Now I can relax a tiny bit better…I know you feel good and are in good hands..you danced, O, sweet Queen, you danced. I love your new home, I am so glad you and Tasty can get together all the time…right across from each other. I guess you won’t be watching the Superbowl, need to have quite time now. I, for one, am still cheering the 49ers on, wishing they wold get back in the Bowl again. I am patient and they are my favorite of all teams. For this Sunday, I will cheer for the Winner, which ever one it will be. I also love seeing the bonding you and Matt have, another thing that makes me feel a tiny bit better. I still think you carry your baby well, you just look like you gained a little weight from not racing and exercising daily…like me. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL! I love you, and I miss you. Lisag
Leslie R.
Thanks for the update Zenny! I’m happy to hear that you still like to dance. You truly are one of a kind, sweet girl! Will you and Tasty move back to your old paddock/stalls after you have your foals or will you have another new place?
I hope everyone enjoys the great racing and big game this weekend!
Love to all,
Leslie
Jodi
I was so excited to hear you were dancing! I was wondering if you still felt like “bustin’ a move!”
Alene
Hi Zenny. You look great. It looks like you`ve kept your weight just where it should be. I`m glad you got familiar with your new paddock and your stall looks new and refreshing. All we need is mommy to be happy and a baby romping around. I`m glad Tasty`s stall is right opposite yours. You guys need one another!! Have a lovely and healthy weekend and keep up the dance moves. I`ll bet your baby will be dancing too. Love you LOTS, Alene

Dear Zenyatta,
So glad that you and Tasty are happy and doing so well. You sparkle in the circle of excellence that has always surrounded you from early schooling to BC training to your journey to motherhood. Special thanks to your families for always taking the time to share. They set an incredible standard. It’s a privilege to feel so close to you and to your positive energy. Enjoy your beautiful new spaces. Lots of hugs and kisses to you and TT.

Oh! My adorable Zenyatta, everything for you has to be special because you are a very special horse, you see, you start dancing because this is the way you give your thanks, you are so cute, love you both Ingrid.
Carolyn Caswell-Brown
Hi Zenny, So great to see you still have your moves. I miss “The Dance”. How often do they weigh you & how much weight have you gained? I know it’s not polite to discuss a girls’ weight or age but, well, you’re lookin’ large! The most important thing is of course your health & happiness. Does your feed include special nutritional supplements for you and your baby?
Many thanks to you & your awesome team for the continued great pictures & updates .You share the love & support of so many.
Oh by the way, about that “little game” on Sunday. Have you heard –
“ELI’S COMIN'”!!!!!!!!!
PEACE & LOVE

Think Pink :-)

I’m thinking pink too.

That’s funny. I got the halter bracelets for Christmas– one blue and one pink. The blue never fit right on my right hand. I just couldn’t get it adjusted right. So I moved it to my left wrist and now it fits fine. The pink had no problems on my right wrist.
So I don’t know what it means. I just want a happy healthy baby for Zenyatta.
I’m thinking it’ll be a girl because of my bracelets but then I’m just one of the thousands of fans. Well know in the next 5/6 weeks…

Wonderful pictures.Into the foal barn and on foal watch, just as planned. You look fabulous with your baby bump. Wish I could have seen the dancing in your new paddock. Can’t wait to see the baby!

I got my Zenyatta Plushies today – two of them Number 21 and Number 22…. way Too Cute!!!!!
Delrene in Carlsbad, Ca
I’m almost as excited about receiving my Plushies as much as looking forward to your new little one. Must be patient. All good things in time.
Great racing card tomorrow at Santa Anita. Have fun everyone!

Thank you so much for sharing the wonderful photos and telling us all about the exploration of your new paddock and the qualities of your new stall. It all sounds so fabulous – as it should be for our Queen! Thanks to Sarah for going along with Matt to snap the photos to be shared. I am so grateful that your kind and generous family shares so much with your adoring fans. Even in your muddied coat, Zenyatta, you are still the most beautiful horse around anywhere! Thanks so much!!

Nancy in Lexington
Thanks for keeping us posted, My Queen! I hope Tasty and you even foal on the same day! When I looked at your first picture, I thought to myself, “I think she’s dancing!” I was right! Hooray, Z! Glad to see you still have that spring in your step. Enjoy your new experience and we’re all definitely on FOAL WATCH! My heart is with you, my dear!
