Good Morning,
I just had to share this adorable gift I received for Valentine’s Day with you. As a racehorse, my jewelry normally came in the form of halters, browbands and bridles. I wore them very fashionably (I think) and they photographed very well.
Other types of JEWELRY are a rather new concept for me.
Well, for Valentine’s Day, an absolutely charming NECKLACE was made for me by a little girl named EMMA. She thought this would be perfect for me. It is priceless! To quote her MOM, “Emma says the ‘P’ on the end is for pretty because ZENYATTA is PRETTY of course! (Out of the mouths of BABES!)”
Emma also sent me a VALENTINE GREETING! This is all so special! Click HERE to watch!
The one thing lately that has really become so apparent to me is that I have FANS of ALL AGES. This really makes me feel so proud that I have been able to touch the hearts of so many different people in so many different ways!
And…my FANS THINK I AM PRETTY!
It is amazing how someone saying one or two kind words to you…CAN MAKE YOUR DAY!
With Love,
Hugs to ALL~

THAT WAS A THOUGHTFUL GIFT FROM EMMA. YOU WILL ALWAYS BE A MARE THAT ALL YOUR FANS LOVE AND SO WILL YOUR FOALS AND THEIR OFFSPRING AND SO ON FOREVER. LOVE AND BEST WISHES TO EVERONE….SHERRY D.

Dear Emma: You are a very good designer and jewelry maker, little lady! So much creativity and style in that well constructed necklace for our Queen Zenyatta! In art and design, I hear that very talented people add something unexpected – like the “P” at the end of the necklace which stands for “PRETTY”. So clever, little Emma. You have a future in art, jewelry, and HORSES! :::cheering on our Princess Emma:::

Speaking of jewelry – I watched the Eclipse awards AGAIN last evening, jumping to the end to see our girl win HOY, of course, so me – I’m all teary-eyed again, but what am I focusing on? Mrs. Moss’ spectacularly designed “Z” pin – now there’s a stunner and being the creator of “back stories” in my mind, I imagine Mr. Moss presenting our lovely Ann with a huge diamond “Z” as a celebration. Whatever the actual story is, I can’t get that pin outta my girlie mind. I hope it shows up as a Queen Zenyatta jewelry memorabilia item to wear with pride. Psst – Zenyatta – did Dottie give you any news about THE PIN yet?
.
Hugs to the Queen, the Divine Dottie (VOZ), and all who love our Big Girl Momma.

now that you are retired from racing there is a whole new jewelry world out there. You can get jeweled brow bands, braids with jewels incorporated, like your birthstone, bedazzled lead ropes. I think even leg wraps should be bedazzled. There is also horse glitter if you didn’t know.

Dearest Zenyatta – Your fans don’t think you’re merely pretty, we think you’re beautiful and spectacular. Not just in looks and style but in temperament. You are one very special girl who has touched many lives. I am anxiously awaiting the day when a DVD will be available so that I can look at you any time I want to on my TV screen. Thank you Dottie for these posts that brighten our day.

Today’s diary message and the video from Emma just brings tears of love to my eyes. Zenyatta power does go to infinity just like Emma said she loves our Queen. Thank you so very much for sharing with us through this diary. It is always a high point to my day and I am so grateful to be on the same planet with Zenyatta and the people who love her. Thank you!

@christine–I laughed out loud at your reference to your Harley watching the dog show! Our 2 slept through it. We told them we’d rather have them anyway.
Pam
What a lovely Valentine gift, Zenyatta! Yes, you have fans of all ages (I’m kind of old myself), and we all think you’re pretty. Also stunning, majestic, an eyeful etc. And you’re right, paying someone a sincere compliment makes you both feel good. Another life lesson … out of the mouth of a horse! Glad you enjoyed the “holiday of love.”
Fran

Zenny, of course we think you are pretty!! I am glad you had such a good Valentines Day. That necklace will look great on you, sweet girl. I’m sure Bernardini was thinking about you ALL Valentines Day.
Zenyatta, (Dottie) I want to see you again so badly! Do you have ANY idea when fans will be able to visit you? We love you so much! <3
