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~

Zenny, you and Ann are two beautiful ladies together in the photo. Glad you had such a nice visit…and for Ann to bring a gift for Bernie. You and Ann are always thinking of how to help other ladies, too. Thanks for the photo and post.

Oh my lovely Z; I forgot to tell another friend on these posts, Lani, that I thought her response was special about her sister. Recently every time I turn, I have learned about a friend, neighbor etc. that is going through cancer treatment. I went to a church in southeastern wi. way up on a hill. You can see for miles & miles!! It may be that I think it is special because one thinks they are closer to heaven or something. But, I went in there with such peace! I sat in such silence, and I prayed for those I love and those that may also be suffering. It did me good to do good, because I am not an overly religious person. And Z, I love you & they are in them too. Love n a kiss on your soft nose!

Zenyatta you and your owners and all of Team Z are simply AMAZING!!! How nice of Mike Smith to take the time to congratulate Ines and stay for autographs and pictures. TEAM Z IS ONE CLASS ACT!!! Much love and hugs to you Zenyatta!! XXOXX

My Sweet Lady Zenyatta, What a great photo of you & Ann with Charles, both laughing. Zenyatta you look so relaxed looking down at Ann. That is so sweet for Ann thinking of Bernadini with treats too. That’s wondeful! I’m really excited about the “Z pin”. That will be fabulous! Congratulations to Ines for being Zenyatta’s Lounge Woman of the Month! Ines sounds like she has done a lot to help the ladies there. What a treat to go to dinner and have Mike Smith come over and congratulate her. I like the photo of Ines with the beautiful horse. Who is that? Nobody named the horse with her? Be safe Zenyatta, enjoy the bluegrass. I hope you have a good night’s sleep and the warm sunshine to wake you up tomorrow. Sending Hugs & Kisses With Love From Alabama, Amanda G.

Zenny and Ann – two beautiful ladies. Such a great smile on Ann’s face. A lot of joy and it all comes from just standing next to you. Of course, I know you are smiling it up too. She’s one of your very best friends in the world and I know you miss her. So glad you ladies had a chance to catch up on gossip. Thanks again Sarah for another wonderful photo.

So nice to meet Ines and to put a face with one of the ladies from the Zenyatta Lounge that many have been and are helping out. And what a great surprise for them to see Mike at the restaurant. Again he shows what a class act he is by stopping by and visiting. Gotta love him.

The Backside 55 Facebook has some great behind the scene photos from Barn 55 that you might want to take a look at. They certainly have a lot of barn cats!

I’ve missed the past couple of posts due to a grueling work schedule but just glancing at some of the posts and links I am really looking forward to spending the weekend catching up. It’s really great to see so many people contributing. Even novices are googling and cruising Facebook to add to the discussion. I think everyone has really taken to learning and sharing knowledge about horses in all aspects and that is such a bonus not only for being educated about horses in general but also I think for the sport of racing and getting people to see that what they learn can eventually make the experience of going to the track all the more interesting. Especially for those new to the sport.

One last thing. As I cruise Facebook looking for all things horses, in particular horse rescue organizations, I came upon this page. It’s about a special little horse. A tissue may be needed.

Oh Zenny,
I get such JOY, from each post here. Fun site.
Zenny, I love you SO MUCH! Everyone is so fantastic in writing here.
Great news on a ‘Z’ Pin. … When Ann wore hers at the Eclipse, I noticed it right away. So awesome. Love all of the photos of Z and friends, and Z team.

I just read up on your Zenyatta Lounge. How wonderful! What a GREAT contribution to life at the track! and so happy to see you had a visit from Ann! and do let us know what Bernie’s gift is!

Celeste
Beautiful! I’m so happy to read that Ann was able to visit and they are working on the Z pin. Congratulations to Ines for Woman of the Month. What a wonderful way to honor her and share the beauty of Zenyatta!
Barbara Wood
Darling Z–what a beautiful picture of you and your dear Ann. Thank you for sharing that with us. Many, many hugs back to you, Dottie, Ann, Ines, and all the ladies at the Zenyatta Lounge. And oh yes, John and Mikey too. This is the happiest website ever.
I can’t wait for the “Z” pins to come out.
Zenny, have you ever tried “Flax Snax”? They are a healthy treat that our horse gets. Also “Hoof Snax”. They smell divine–like human cookies, but they have healthy ingredients.
By the way, maybe Ines could share her ovenless cookie recipe with us.
Snuggle in tonight and enjoy that beautiful grass tomorrow. Love you always.
Rita Stack
Happy Birthday and well done Ines. Z you have the best family, great photo thanks for sharing. Love you lots.

We love you Zenyatta and are waiting to get to see you when Lanes End can arrange for us. From Chicago Il and Vevey In … Bill, Alex, and Jeanie.

So glad that Ann spent some time with you Zenyatta, she loves you so much. You both look fantastic in the photo and yes, nice to have no snow-love that green grass of Kentucky!
So wonderful how the Zenyatta Lounge is doing and so special to have a woman of the month and for her to be honored and treated so royally. Such a positive experience and so nice to have a place for the ladies to share and to learn and to celebrate together. Congratulations to Inez Rosas for being the special woman this month, she is pretty.
I am sending a big hug to you along with well wishes to everyone at the Zenyatta Lounge! Wish I lived in California so that I could attend and help out but I live in Missouri and that is quite a distance away.
My Love & Blessings to you Zenyatta!

Hi Zenny!!! I am so happy that Mrs. Moss came out to see ya!! I would do the same. But then again, you’d live in my backyard on my farm. Take care God Bless, see ya soon in Kentucky. So long from KC Missouri.

Zenyatta–You aren’t the only one here in Lexington that is happy that there isn’t any snow on the ground!

We were not able to take our trip due to the weather and here I am, so excited to be reading your diary today. Wow, what a great surprise that your precious Ann came to visit. She is so fabulous. What a wonderful occasion that Ines is Woman of the Month and Mike was there at the restaurant to join in the celebration. You and your team are the best. I am going to get your beautiful sculpture. I cannot wait. We are currently thinking of how we can display such a treasure in our apartment. What a fun time. Be well, stay toasty, eat well and have fun with your BBFs, love you so, you Angel in Disguise.

Dearest, Zenyatta. As I am sitting in my den writing this, your wonderful face is gazing down at me. I received my Jamie Corum lithograph today and it is just breathtaking. I have several pieces of her artwork and I love them so much. She is amazing. Then to open up the diary and see you and Ann together just added the cherry on top of the sunday. She is a remarkable, beautiful woman, inside and out. You can just see the look of love in her eyes when she gazes at you and her smile just sparkles. So glad the bluegrass is beginning to show itself and you are enjoying it tickeling your hooves. Springtime in Kentucky, how beautiful. Speaking of beautiful, I can’t wait to see the Z pin. Thank you to Jerry and Dottie for working out the business side and to Ann for sharing. Congratulations to Inse. It sounds like the ladies of the Z Lounge had a wonderful evening and what a special treat to spend time with our Mike. He is great! Waiting for the big news, Zenny and loving you more each day. Thank you for the special big hug. Friends are important and you and Team Z are the best. Sweet dreams. Hugs and kisses.
@Karen Mitchel – Still sending prayers your way and hoping for the best. Love, Dawn.
