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~

I expect that Bernardino should come up with some very pretty jewelry for you shortly, too, girlfriend!! (I’m hearing Beyonce’s “Put A Ring On It” in my head as I write this and it’s making me laugh outloud).

You are so deserving of all this love that people are showing you…

Hey Big Z,
You happen to be more than just pretty. You are one of the most glorious things God ever created. Don’t ever forget that!!!
Love,

That little round disk that says “Zenyatta” is a foal disk? That will eventually identify her foal, when it has its own little bridle? I’ve been wondering what that was. I am absolutely enchanted at the thought.

Hi Zenyatta, what a cute necklace. It reminds me of the little baby bracelets they used put on at the hospital. Good job Emma!
@Happy Harriet, please keep us posted on your race horse venture!
@ Dawn Conrad, you are sooooo brave. You are in my prayers.
Thanks everyone and loved the video, they never get old!

Greetings Zenyatta -well it will not be long now before you will be having your,
“weekend at Bernie’s” But seriously, when you go there do you stay a few days to make sure that you are in foal. Or, would you come back to Lane’s End the same day or perhaps the day after?

Keep warm and well, Pretty Girl!! Hugs to all. Fondly, OraJean
PS…the necklace is very pretty.

@christine–thanks so much for the link to the GREAT video.
@Dawn Conrad–dear girl, you are SO in my prayers. Please keep us posted on results. I always enjoy your comments so much.
Anyone have news on Catherine Uher? Praying for her as well.
Precious Z– good night, sweet girl. You are such a force for good in this precarious world we live in. Love you always.

That little girl is so cute and I love you too to infinity!!!

The video is so precious! What a precious child and beautiful gift she made. The Horse Industry needs to realize that all little girls love horses and those little girls grow up to be big girls and still love horses. They focus too much on gambling.

You ARE pretty! We played bridge tonight right under the picture of you and Mikie right after your BC win, and my friends commented on your look of triumph!I love you, Zenyatta!

Emma needs to see a picture with Zenny wearing her necklace.
.
You should get Annie or Barbara to take the picture or maybe my consin Patrick Ecclesine.

You should make up a saddle towel #7 INFINTY

Stonestreet Farms- Rachel has a diary! There is an entry on 11/4/09 to Zenyatta before her Breeders Cup race, it’s sweet!

Sorry I mis-spelled Infinity.

@Lynne,
When the vet and Capone indicate Zenyatta is ready, she will van to Darley for the day. She will be serviced by Benardini and ship back to LEF the same day. After a period of time she will be checked by the vet to see if she caught (is in foal) if she is then no more shipping is necessary. If she didn’t catch, she’ll ship back to Benardini on her next heat and they’ll try again.

Dear Zenny and Team Z, I cannot tell you how what a great experience I had today with some of my fellow women executives at our company. We are a team of 10 women responsible for the Women’s Executive Leadership Event which we hold every other year where the top 150 global women come together for 2 days. We were talking about the theme for this years event, being held in July, and started talking about inspriation, motivation, staying on top of your game, re-inventing yourself during various stages of your career, and being your own #1.
Well needless to say I thought of you Zenny! I told your story, being the huge fan that I am, showed your 60 minutes segment from last year on our projector in the conference room. Everyone was glued to the screen and got very excited about somehow weaving this into our event. Your accomplishments and inspiration continue to touch people in situations and places every day.
Will keep you posted on where this goes. With Love and gratitude, L.

Z – thank you for sharing sweet Emma’s video and pix of special necklace she made for you…very heartwarming and a great tonic after a troubled day. There will never be another you – love you to infinity XOXOXO!!!
Dona
You know the best thing of all about Emma? That she will both love and remember you, for the rest of her life! How awesome.
