Good Morning,
At this time, many of you have read the Moss’ have announced my MATING PLANS for this year! I will be going to BERNARDINI! I asked John to find this photo of me from his BARN 55 files…it is a few months old. I really did KICK UP MY HEELS here at the farm upon hearing the news that all had been finalized and announced. This is very exciting!
Not only are we a wonderful match genetically…we complement each other in many other aspects. Additionally, and this is a sidebar to all of the other great reasons we are a match, Dottie was teasing me this morning that BOTH of us have MOMS who have been recognized in the industry as “BROODMARE OF THE YEAR”. This is a very special fact that I want to keep in my memory bank. I hope I continue this tradition…as my future babies grow up!
I love all of the INTERNET activity that is going on now! There are even forums and contests for NAMING MY BABY! I LOVE THIS! Darley (which is BERNARDINI’S HOME) did a press release as well about our future plans. I have to comment…I love the fact that in HIS photo “B” is wearing a BLUE AND WHITE BROWBAND…just like I have in some of my photos. (I guess we even have the same sense of style and taste in accessories. This is certainly very cute!)
There is another article out now by Andrew Cohen that literally has me ‘giggling’ this morning. It is titled: BERNYATTA: THE WORLD’S NEWEST POWER COUPLE. Here is the link for it!
This is really very cute. THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT ME! Wow! I hope the storyline presented starts your day with a SMILE! It sure did that for ME!
With Love~
Hugs to ALL!
Z
and in respect to my recent mating announcement……”B”

I don’t know if you’re taking name suggestions, but I thought I’d offer a couple, just in case. :)
Cadenza . . . (a strong finish by a virtuoso, and a musical term b/c Z loves dancing, and B has Northern Dancer in his pedigree)
or Cadence is nice too . . .
or The Babe . . . (because it will be THE babe; also b/c of David Bowie’s song “Magic Dance”)
Also, I received my Breyer Zenyatta model the other day, and it’s almost as spectacular as the lady herself. :) I suggest all Z fans get one while you can!

Hi Z, it’s me again, Sally. I don’t know if this is proper, but I met a photographer at your fan appreciation at Keeneland. I spoke to him a while. It turns out he has by the “Hennegan Brothers”, as he is part of, a DVD called “the first saturday in may”, featuring Barbaro. I have not ordered yet, but I thought I would mention it. Available at http://www.thefirstsaturdayinmay.com
You may wish to check it out. I just love horses, especially the thoroughbreds, but most of all, you Z!! love n another kiss on your soft nose.

Hello Beautiful Girl,
I’m so happy to hear you are sooo happy about Bernardini too. He is one of my favorites and just a handsome fellow. Your babies will be beautiful and if his genes are as sound and spirited as yours then golden days await that little foal when it arrives.
Bernyatta is cute and it was very clever of Andrew Cohen. But I think that a more elegant name would be befitting of such an elegant couple. I’m sure Team Zenyatta will come up with the perfect name when that little one arrives.
Dottie – as always Thank You for helping Zenyatta with her notes to us.
Best,
NancyP

Zenyatta, I am so glad that a mate has been picked for you now. I hope he is like you in temperament and in class. I also hope your foals turn out to be just like you and Bernardini. I don’t really know him yet, but, with any luck, that will change. Good Luck!

I really don’t care for many of the foal names proposed by fans so far, especially the one the TB Times came up with. My husband and I thought of one we do like: Synchronicity (a Police song).

An interesting web site chock full of anthropomorphism. Zenyatta is nothing short of an a once in a lifetime drop-dead beautiful, precious and unique soul. Her record and winnings speak for themselves. I am not convinced that there is a male equine alive that is ‘worthy’ of her. In spite of my issues with the racing ‘industry’ and the equine ‘industry’ in general she has captured my attention and heart.
I’m graced to be steward to ten beautiful equine souls of my own (three of which have some notoriety on-line not of my own doing) and providing care for an additional ten. My focus and passion are now towards equine rescue and welfare. Perhaps someday we might ‘value’ equines for more than the $$$ they can generate or the ‘glory’ they provide.
