MY GUY BERNARDINI…Photo by Steve Haskin

Good Morning,

I hope all of you had a fun, happy and special Valentine’s Day! Mine was fabulous!

Firstly, so many of YOU sent me wonderful cards and gifts. I personally want to thank you. The carrots, peppermints and goodies were terrific! I shared them with my paddock friends. We enjoyed every single bite!

I was able to TANGO with Mrs. Moss and my friends in CA. I so love doing that.

Then, MY GUY, BERNARDINI…sent me a few photos of himself at the farm…and an adorable Valentine message. I gather his friend Charlie at Darley…helped him type the email message to Dottie for me.

It read…TELL HER…BERNIE SENDS HIS LOVE!

Now how cute is this! I’m pretty touched by his effort! Steve Haskin also sent some photos of Bernie to Dottie for me…and we think this one looks rather CUTE! Great ears, great face, fabulous eyes and a playful attitude munching on his lead shank! These are all qualities I find very attractive!

As many of you may know, I kinda’ have a thing for EARS! I feel they can be very expressive and tell a great deal about a HORSE. When I was an athlete, mine were always forward and relaxed. They showed how HAPPY I was when I was competing. Today, as I’m romping about in the field, they are the same way…forward, attentive…and showing how much fun I’m having! Body language can tell a great deal about how one is feeling and doing. In looking at this photo…Bernie’s ears look “too cute”. Lucky ME!

Have a terrific day…and enjoy yourself!

With Love,
Hugs to All~
Z

    I always loved how your ears were pricked even when you raced. Glad it was fun for you. So many other horses pin their ears from effort but you always seemed to treat it as a big game. What a horse! Are you the boss of your stable mates?

    Oh Z, he is very good looking. He is one lucky lucky guy to have you as his girlfriend. Have a great day and thank you Dottie for the updates. I love the Queen so very much and love to hear about her. I just can’t seem to get enough of what she is doing. Love to you Z with lots of XOXOXOXO

    I predict that you and Bernardini will have a beautiful dark bay foal. I just hope he/she has your dapples, blaze and two white socks, preferably on his/her hind legs… a little Zenny Mini Me! Hugs, kisses and lots of love from someone who will always think of you as a California Girl.

    Awww, Zenny, thanks for showing us your “boyfriend”. You need to share some mints with him so he doesn’t have to chew on his lead shank. And Zenny…I love your ears. :) So glad you had a wonderful Valentine’s Day with lots of goodies.
