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~

Z!! You are a gorgeous, beautiful, gentle, kind horse with a big personality. Young & older have seen this to be true. It is in one’s heart that counts, like Emma, like your fans, like you & your Z team. How wonderful this all is. It is mid Feb. Z; you meeting Bernadini is getting closer. Have a happy happy day!! love n a kiss on your soft nose

I’ve always thought of you as “stunning” in many respects…however…”pretty” works too…if the horseshoe fits…

Beautiful Zenyatta, How special of you to share your gift and the sweet message from Emma. Love from a child is always so honest and without pretense. But then, you have earned all this love because you too are so honest. I always think of you as my innocent little girl and pray that you are never lonely or sad. I expect that Mrs. Moss, Dottie and John feel much the same. You make my day every day. Much Love from Me to You
Karen
Yes, Zenyatta, you are a very beautiful girl and are loved by so many. You are in the hearts of us all. I wish I could come and see you. Hopefully someday. I love you. Blessings, Karen

I just watched the video clip of the beautiful little girl who made you a very special necklace. She is obviously very intelligent and certainly has excellent taste. What a wonderful gift. Thank you for sharing it with us. I’m sending my love to you and to the sweet little girl who makes beautiful necklaces.

Hi Zenny, You are my GORGEOUS girl. I always tell you that. The necklace Emma made is just a stunner… Just like BERNIE.. You two are going to have the most beautiful and gifted foal just like its mom and dad.. Again, I think there`s a chance of the baby being gray because of Spectacular Bid from your man BERNIE… Dottie, If I`m right I think I should be awarded some time with ZENNY…Keep it in the back of your mind. I will RUSH to Kentucky as fast as an airplane would fly.. I`ve been there many times before… So, If the baby is gray its my time to spend with Zenny!!! Lots of Big Hugs and Kisses Alene

My Love & Blessings always!

Dearest, Zenny. This really made my day, thank you so much for sharing. It is so wonderful to read all the posts expressing their love. You see, this week has been doctor’s visits and my last test is Friday to see how much my tumor has grown. It is already good sized, so hooves and fingers crossed, very little! We want to avoid any further surgery, I have already had a bilateral mascetomy, a hysterictomy, my thyroid is gone and now a growth on my liver. The surgery’s have always been successful, no radiation or chemo and I’m back to “normal” in no time. I have always counted my blessings, because I know there are those much worse off than myself and above all I maintain a healthy sense of humor. I do so believe in the power of positive energy and have certainly found it in you, Team Z and this diary. Thanks to Divine Dottie for helping you send such heartfelt messages. Life is wonderful!! The picture of Bernardini was great, loved the munching on his lead shank. Sweet dreams. Hugs and kisses. XXXOOO
@Emma – Your necklace was very lovely and so are you. What a sweet girl you are to send pretty Zenny such a special gift. I am sure she will treasure it forever.

How sweet of Emma to make a beautiful necklace for you and the video was adorable. Oh yes, dear Z, you and your Team Z are all about love…Love of horses and humans of all ages. We have been and continue to be bless by you. I know it is a lot of work for you to dictate all these posts to Dottie to type, but we so appreciate every one. xoxox

Oh Z…you are soo lucky to have a friend as cute as Emma. I love the necklace she made for you. You are one lucky horse to have such loving friends. Of course, I love you to but I’m an old gray haired lady. I have lots of pictures of you and have even made a scrapebook to keep them in. So glad you had a wonderful Valentines. Love you big girl. Lou

Hi Zenyatta. What a beautiful necklass for our beautiful Zenyatta and what a wonderful video of Emma wishing you Happy Valentine’s Day. It just melts the heart. Yes Zenyatta, you have touched so many people, big and small from all walks of life – you are such an Angel in Disguise. You make the most hardened adult become a child at heart! Love you so. Stay toasty and have fun with your BFFs. Love you.

Emma – what a pretty necklace. Zenyatta will cherish it I’m sure. She is very pretty but after seeing your video I see that you are very pretty too. Thank you to Dottie for sharing your gifts to Zenyatta with us. Such a nice Valentine’s present for us all.

Hi Zenny: What a precious valentine gift and video message from Emma. She is absolutely right–you are PRETTY! To be told that you are pretty is such a nice compliment because that means you are delicate and graceful. We have certainly seen that side of you. You are so pretty with the way you move and dance and prance. We have also seen you look so pretty in pictures when great, big you uses such delicate care with greeting a young child. You are also beautiful because of your qualities of sheer excellance. I like pretty! Emma is right! Wait until Bernie takes one look at you!!! Love, Linda

Dear Zenyatta, Dottie and Mrs. Moss,
Thank you for all you do for children. The video was priceless. Emma is beautiful and talented. I know recognizing her made her feel so good. I know what all of you have done for my students. The letter, gifts and being in the newspaper made them feel so proud and good about themselves. We live in a very impoverished area with a lot of unemployement and hard times. We need some goodness and kindness shown. Zenyatta you and your family did that for us. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I just hope you know how very special all of you are. I sometimes can’t seem to find the right words to express my feelings but not a day goes by that I don’t think of you and say your name. I will love you and your family always. Love, Hugs and Kisses from Shari and her 5th grade class from Ohio XXXOOO

@Dawn Conrad: My thoughts and prayers are with you. You have half the battle fought with your positive energy and good sense of humor.
