Hello everyone!
What a fun day I had yesterday! The morning was playful and I was in my normal routine. Then in early afternoon…LOOK WHO CAME TO VISIT WITH ME! My dear friend and close pal, MIKIE SMITH! He flew in all the way from CA to see ME! This is so exciting.
At first, Mike went out to the paddock area to see me play and interact with my friends. He brought some great goodies for us…carrots and peppermints. I think it was fun for him to see how happy I am in my new environment!
Later in the afternoon, he walked back with me to my barn. He actually led me part of the way. As you can see here, it is just HE and I standing TALL right there in the barn area. So much fun!
I know Sarah took a bit of video of our visit. She will put it up soon on my Facebook page. You can reach this by CLICKING on the FACEBOOK ICON in the upper right hand corner of my web-site. It will take you right there…my FACEBOOK PAGE.
Oh, by the way, this is very exciting as well…as of 7 a.m. CA time this morning, I have 63,848 FRIENDS on my Facebook page. You guys are really amazing! My numbers are growing every single day! Thank you so much!
Have a special day!
With Love,
Hugs to all~

I loved the video, and can I make a off topic comment? Like you, Z, I’m a bit of a fashion lover, and I LOVED the fingerless gloves or long sleeved top that attached to the finger that Ann Moss was wearing at the awards ceremony last Saturday. You know us girls, Z, we have to keep an eye on style. :)

I look forward to your posts every day!! You are the most awesome racehorse ever! And now–to be an awesome and special mama! I can honestly say that as an owner and trainer of racehorses in Texas, the only thing that I wish is that you were mine!!
Peggy from CT

Hi Zenny!
You and Mikey ~ such a great friendship! I noticed some of your girlfriends were watching very closely as Mike fed you those beautiful carrots!
Some us were wondering what happened to the video on fb? Could you share here please?!
Hugs & Kisses XOXO

You and Mike are a remarkable pair…….

I watched the video and it once again brought tears to my eyes. You can truly see the bond between you two. Your ears are so straight up…like are we going to the track? But then you realized …wow…we are just having fun friend time. Mike is such a great guy….you could not have had a better jockey or a better person on your back for all those races Z….and for that ….all of us fans had the thrill of watching you and Mike….and now we get to see you in KY…which I have to say is almost as much fun as the track. Just seeing you makes me smile and feel happy inside.

Zenyatta I think you are probably the most loved and luckiest Thoroughbred horse that has ever lived! So loved by everyone, you have been a huge Blessing to racing.
Cynthia A. Holt
It is so wonderful to see these two best friends together once again. No matter who comes after, it looks like you will always be the true love of Mike’s life, Zenyatta! Poor Mike could not get that peppermint unwrapped fast enough. I thought you might devour him in lieu of the candy! How sweet and dear of Mike to travel all that way to see his best girl. Thank you for allowing us to share in this poignant meeting. Thank you, Sarah, for filming.
Dawn Deems
What a special bond you and Mike have. You’re a lucky girl!

What a great video! Mike still is your #1 guy. You two are quite the pair, that is a bond that will never be broken. What did he say to you about Bernardini? I know he doesn’t think any stallion is good enough for you, but is he ok with Bernardini? Much love, thanks for all of the updates!

Thank you for posting the video — cannot get too much of Zenyatta in her paddock with her buddies and now Mike. I wonder if she thinks there may be a race coming up.
Linda Deutsch
Look at your bright alert face with Mike looking up at you…..makes my heart sing that you two can be together again. Happy Valentines day to you both – Mike is one special guy and YOU are the best horse ever!

How special the visit for you and Mike. Leaves us wondering if you wanted him to saddle up and go like the wind with him. The love Mike has for you is representative of our love for you. You truly are a gift from the Lord.
