Happy Saturday!
Wow! David just returned from a one day business trip to CA (also saw Dottie and John for a fun visit) and said it was 80 degrees there. This weather thing never ceases to amaze me! It is a bit chilly here still in Lexington…but I feel I’ve acclimated beautifully!
I wanted to show the Secretariat image that they gave Dottie as a gift as well. Here John has me ‘jogging playfully’ right beside BIG RED! What a thrill!
John also took a photo of us…side by side. He put HIM a bit in front…just so you could see both of us. Both Dottie and John felt that they did a wonderful job with our images…and this is truly a special gift they were given. A great way to remember the EVENT!
All else is going very well for me! I have put on a few pounds, I’m getting so many sweet notes and cards from all of you, and I am enjoying my time with my friends. Yesterday, Don Robinson (the man who foaled me and raised me at his farm until I went to the Yearling Sale) and his family came to visit me again. He called Dottie and told her HOW FABULOUS I LOOK! Don’s comment to her was…”ZENYATTA IS JUST SO HAPPY. SHE LOOKS AMAZING….AND YOU CAN SEE SHE IS ONE VERY HAPPY HORSE ENJOYING HER NEW LIFESTYLE!”
In truth, I REALLY AM! David was telling Dottie that there are times when he and Michael Cline (from our farm) watch me when I’m playing in my paddock…and they literally see me “JUMP FOR JOY”. I REALLY DO! I literally JUMP UP IN THE AIR WITH ALL 4 OF MY FEET and PLAYFULLY LOOK AROUND!
I have so much fun when I do this! Dottie thought hearing this was so adorable. She told David…she could truly capture this image in her mind. Ironically, my dear friend, SOPHIE SHIRREFFS does this same type of thing. Dottie and John tease about it all of the time!
So cute! I guess Sophie and I really do have LOTS in common! We are 2 very blessed and fortunate ’4 Legged Friends’!
Smile…have a wonderful Saturday…and TAKE CARE! I hope you can encounter something fun today which encourages you to JUMP FOR JOY!
With Love,
Hugs to All~

I love you Zenyatta! I will miss seeing you race!
Cynthia A. Holt
The little statues are beautiful. You and Secretariat: the Queen and the King of American racing. The fact that we were priviledged to see you both in the course of a lifetime is cause enough to JUMP FOR JOY!
Robin
Hi Zenny! I would LOVE to see a picture of you doing that jump! You are so darn cute! I love the pics, too cool! Have a wonderful day big girl. Love and miss you! MUAH!! XOXO

My 2 fav horses of all time side by side Perfect
lizzy
….only if could video (while watching) you out in the paddock. This is why i yearn to see. :/
Hope you’re having another playful day today. Happy Valentines Day Z.
Mari
Love the models of you and Secretariat. I seriously think had he either been born later or you earlier, there might have been a very big contention there. You are both great horses and it would be hard to say who would be the better one, cause you’re both equally good in my eyes. Thanks for sharing and have fun while your playing!!

nancy

Dear Zenyatta,
I love getting your diary updates on my facebook page. The post today had ME jumping for joy! Yes, I can see you doing that vividly. I recorded the Eclipse awards the other night and Vinny and I have watched it three times. We love all the flare about you. We wish they would do a reality show with camp Zenyatta and all their other 4 legged friends. It would be so cool to see them making decisions, watching how they pick and choose and all the training aspects that go into this sport. Forget Motorcycle Reality, or Pawn Shop Reality! Give us The Moss’s Reality Show! And we want to see lot’s of YOU!!!! Love and Light Always, Norine

Hello baby girl! Yes I did do something fun today which encourages you to JUMP FOR JOY…I read YOUR post and looked at YOUR pictures. I hope Charles can get videos of Zenny jumping up off the ground and capture it to show us all because that would be truly amazing because once she gets pregnate, she’s not going to be able to do that anymore…lol….I love and adore you Zenny, hope you are having a terrific day today and breathing in the fresh air and looking around at this beautiful earth God created, it’s truly a blessing like you. oxooxxoo <3<3<3
Charlotte
The little statues are beautiful. Would love a photo of little Sophie Shirreffs doing her all four off the ground jump. Too cute!
Melissa
Zenyatta I just want to thank you and your family for sharing a daily update. I look forward to hearing how everything is going and I pray when you do have a newborn horse that he/she will be healthy and you have a safe and wonderful pregnancy and a blessed delivery. I hope one day I am blessed to meet you and your wonderful family Zenyatta. Take care..

My fun for the day was taking my 3 dogs for their morning walk. I’m too old to be jumping so I’ll just imagine a younger me doing it. Thanks for uplifting our days with your diary posts.
