Marshall (NC Broad)
Dear Sheena,
Thanks for posting this update from Karen. I sure hope things will go well with the poultices and that Herman has the solution. Sending positive vibes to Karen and Hovis.
Thanks for the Hovis Diary article, too. Hovis is such a character — “clouds on legs”, funny stuff! ?

Songbird and her best friend Welcoming have made their nests in the foaling barn at Timber Town. I think both were bred in February last year and are due this month. Hoping for easy birth and healthy foals for both mares.
I hope that you will be in this same waiting time next year, dear Zenyatta! You are such a wonderful mother and I enjoy watching your babies grow up.
Love,
Donna Z
judith Berube
Dear Donna Z:
Ditto from me for beautiful Songbird and Welcoming. Hope the same for Z too, if she is bred this year. Love and Hugs, JB
Sheena Davies
I heard on twitter Songbird was carrying twins and they.’pinched one’.Seems it’s very common and much safer for her to deliver one foal.
Patti
Hoping the same here, too. Can’t wait to see the new foals and of course hoping the same health and wellness for Zenyatta if she gets to be a new mama again. We’re always super excited to see her being a mom.
Donna Heim
Glad to see you warm and dry in your stall, Zenny. Love you forever.

She shows no signs of ageing and has the same enthusiastic appetite for her work.This month she picks up 2 awards this month the Vox Populi and the Longines best racehorse in the world.We will say goodbye to the supermare this autumn(Australian time)and racing won’t seem quite the same somehow.
