Hello Everyone!
Hope all of you are doing well! Everything here is just moving along beautifully! LOOK…I had COMPANY YESTERDAY! My dear owner, ANN, stopped by to visit me while on her way to a conference. This is GREAT FUN! Not only did we get to visit, snack, and catch up on all of the news from CA, but she also brought me PRESENTS for BERNIE! This is too cute!
One of the things we discussed was the “Z PIN.” Ann wanted me to let all of you know that she is working with someone on making the pin. Dottie and Mr. Moss are have a meeting this afternoon in relation to these things! Let’s hope it all works out! This type of ‘business stuff’ is all new to me!
I also wanted to give you a special update on the ZENYATTA LOUNGE. We hear many of you have been calling to help. This is great news and your kindness is so appreciated. At this time, I’d also like to introduce you to INES ROSAS. She is the ZENYATTA LOUNGE WOMAN OF THE MONTH.
The ladies all went to dinner at the Panda Inn on Monday night to celebrate the monthly birthdays and INES. When they were honoring INES, my jockey, Mike Smith, happened to be in the restaurant with some friends. He was so sweet! He came over to the celebration, congratulated INES, signed her CERTIFICATE, and stayed for photos. Cell phone cameras were flashing brightly. All of this really helped to make this a special evening for the Ladies. Too cute! I’ve just heard that INES is off to celebrate her gift…a facial or haircut. She can choose whatever she would prefer!
As a THANK YOU for this honor, INES taught a group of women in the lounge how to make cookies without an oven. I heard they were delicious! I’m not a cookie girl (yet)…but I heard they were a real HIT! I’m sending INES and all of the Ladies at the ZENYATTA LOUNGE a BIG HUG! I’m also sending ONE TO EACH OF YOU! Friends are so important!
Have a wonderful day!
With Love,
Hugs to All~

I love seeing pictures of you and Ann together. Over all the years you raced I could see the love in her eyes for you when she looked at you and would blow in your nose in the winner’s circle. You are so lucky to have such a great human family and hopefully you’ll be starting your own little horse family soon. I’m sure you will have an amaZing foal, because everything you do is amazing! Love Ya big girl. Can’t wait to hear more about the Z pins. Bye for now. Lori

Ms.Z, I got my lithograph today and it is a beauty! I hope they let you see a copy of it. Hugs from all the Huskies of Coldspot.

Great shot of Ani looking happy to see you, Zenny! Make sure you thank Sarah for us for taking such great pictures of you.
Congratulations to Ines for being Woman of the Month at the Z Lounge. I’m sure it’s an honor well-deserved!

Can’t wait to see the Z pins rolled out, I hope it’s something that everyone can afford :)
I am hoping to go to Santa Anita on Saturday.

How lovely that you got to see your favorite Ann. I know you recognized; you better have….:>)I love you Zenyatta…
Jan
Team Zenyatta is to be commended for all of the love that they have shown to this beautiful thoroughbred and to Zeny’s fans. Just watching Mike Smith and Steve Willard interact with Zenyatta and you know there is a special relationship. Listening to John, the trainer, talk about this horse and the fans and you know that a gentle, kind, person was at the helm. I know the idea is to make money, but you folks have taught us all what is most important. Team Zenyatta has earned the respect that the sport of horse racing needed and have brought many new fans to the track, as well. Booyah! Dottie, you are some kind of manager and the perfect “voice” to personify Zenyatta. Thank you so much.

What a wonderful treat for you, Zenny – to have Ann pay you another visit! She must miss you like crazy! We ALL do, out here in Southern California. Going to the track just isn’t the same without being able to come see YOU! Sniff! But the terrific photos of you that are posted here sure warm our hearts! Please tell John & Dottie to keep ’em coming!
I have to second what everyone else here has said about the beautiful Z pin that both Dottie & Ann wear. How I would LOVE to have one of my own!
I think it’s so wonderful – all the good that’s being done in your name! Could you & Dottie tell us (again) what kind of items the ladies in The Zenyatta Lounge could use the most? Clothing, or what?
Love you forever, sweet Zenny!
Cheryl Smith
What a sweet girl you are. You are the best!
Kathy Baldwin
Zenny, you and your “Connections” are so
very special and joyous! So many positive
things going on in your lives!
Continued blessings to all of you,
Kathy from SoCal :)

Cheryl In Hot Springs
It is so easy to get caught up in your post, I love them and get laughed at because I am talking about what Zenyatte said or did. It is so nice to have something positive in a time where there is so much turmoil. Thanks to the Z team for making us feel so good!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Zenny, I’m so happy that Ann visited you yesterday. I’m sure she misses seeing you everyday. The pic that Sarah took is sweet. It is obvious that you both share a deep, loving bond.
Congrats to Ines! It was very nice of Mike to sign her certificate and to pose for pics with all the ladies. Team Z really is a class act!
Thanks for the hug! I needed one today.
Hugs & love to all,
Leslie

So lovely to see you get a visit from Mrs. Moss, your human mom. I think its so great that your connections care for you so much and visit you when they get the possibility. You bluegrass looks terrific, enjoy it! Great to hear your Zenyatta Lounge is so successful, and its just like Mike to be so friendly and kind. I’m still really wanting one of those Z pins, so hoping that they get made, I’ll buy one in a heartbeat! A BIG HUG back at ya Zenny, take care xoxoxoxoxo
Ollie
I was happy to see our Queen Z with Mrs.Moss, they both look great!!! It was
great to hear about the success of the
Zenyatta Lounge and the great time Ines
Rosas enjoyed. Much thanks to Dottie
for this daily dairy. Love,hugs to all.
JANIS CASEY
Big HUG! You are a doll and very special. Looking forward to a Z pin.
Give MS a little kiss from MZ J

I really enjoy these updates. Allowing us to keep up with Zenyatta after retirement is very special and informative. You are doing something very important for the future of the sport. Thank you!

Hi Zenny, what a happy day for both you and your Ann. I know Ines so appreciates the Zenyatta Lounge – that’s a wonderful thing to have become a reality.
It makes me happy to see you with the grass beneath your fabulous hooves. I bet you’re having a great time with your pals. I see your last original “Moneigh” is being auctioned off, for charity of course. Guess what? I couldn’t help myself – I bid on it. The auction is open until March 30 and a value of $6000 has been placed on your Moneigh. It’s only March 3 and it’s already at $5000 (that’s me) – can you imagine what it will actually go for??? While I’m thrlled your art will be a big seller, I’m sad because I seriously doubt I can keep up with the big-time bidders. I guess I can always buy a print and love it just as much because it’s you! Just one more example of how you keep giving – God bless you. I love you 4-Ever!

Dear Z, How wonderful Ann got to stop in and visit you! I am also looking forward
to knowing more about the “Z” pin…I am home sick with a nasty virus and Bronchitis…I finally smiled today while reading your newest diary to us! Thank you Dottie for making my day.
Sandra Frey
One of the best things that could have ever happened (besides your success, of course) is the Zenyatta Lounge! Such a great thing for women in the biz! Have a good weekend, sweets! The rain this weekend will just make our Bluegrass grow more lush and beautiful! xoxoxo
jeanie langford
I know you were so happy to see Ann. I can not tell you what you mean to people. You and your people are showing what the world can be like. I love you so much and you inspire me every day with you love, grace and dignity. Hugs, kisses and lots of peppermints.
Diana
Wonderful to see Ann get to visit. And presents for Berni?! Well, that is very thoughtful and I’m sure he will be flattered! Thanks for sharing your special day, and the update on the Lounge and all the women. Hugs and kisses!

Hi Zenyatta! 8)
Ingrid in MA
Hugs right back at you and all YOUR friends,old and new, Zenny! Did you ever think,growing up,that you would have this kind of impact on the world in general,never mind what you’ve done for the World of Racing? It sounds like the women of the Z-Lounge are just as special as the horse it’s named after! And what a super guy your Mike is, to help the ladies celebrate like he did!
Love you,Sweet Zen!
Pamela Hill
