    Bonjour Zenyatta,

    What a beautiful stall that you have plus all those wonderful decorations. I have seen some stalls as being so ugly but not yours.

    Wondering if a baby will be forthcoming this year?

    Hope so!

    Why are those videos so short?

    Lot of love,

    Lise from Maine

    Dear Zenyatta,

    Hope you are enjoying the New Year, dear girl. Loved your beautiful Christmas post with those wonderful photos! You are a most precious gift, Z. :-)

    Have you be able to frolic in snow yet? Alas, we have had lots of rain, but you would love the mud! My dogs, Bailey and Smudge, do not care for it very much however.

    Take care and much love to you and all your family. ?
    Hugs and Love

    Has anyone heard if Ziconic is at John’s yet? Twice they have said that he was going to be at John’s in 2 weeks, and the time goes by, and you hear nothing. After we constantly ask about him, and plead for information, we get the same story, and nothing happens. I’m beginning to wonder if there is something being hidden, and if he is alright, It’s like he has dropped off the face of the earth. It has been a long long time since we have seen him, or any proof that he even is alive and okay. Even the last picture was fake; it was an old picture. It’s like they keep feeding us the same story, and hoping we will finally forget about him. WELL I, FOR ONE, NEVER WILL!!! If Ann had him, instead of Jerry, this wouldn’t be happening!!!

      Dear Sheena,

      I love this video. It is so great to see these two settling in at Lane’s End — love seeing both of them enjoying a roll in their straw, too. Happy boys indeed.
      Best of everything to City of Light and Accelerate — good health and happiness forever!

      Hugs and Love

    Update on Hovis and mum.
    Karen was back at the yard 3 hrs after a General Anaesthetic and on a gin drip!Sadly no photos of her in La-La land.She is back at work tomorrow.Herman’s more glamorous sidekick called and is very pleased with his hoof.First results back from the Lab confirm there was E-Coli in the mass.Full results soon.Karen believes it is a biofilm with necrotic bone and bacteria.Thank God it has been removed.

    Dear Judy.Amazed how Hovey can get E-Coli in his hoof.I keep an eye out for any news of Ziconic on social media but I am sure the Mosses will inform us of any future plans when the time is right.Goodnight God bless you LM PC HT and all the sweetiesLove and hugs SheenaX

      Thanks for this update, Sheena.
      Glad to hear that both Hovis and Karen are doing well. Prayers for a quick recovery.
      E. Coli is certainly a pesky bacteria.

      I agree with you about Ziconic news. We all love him and must continue to be patient for news. All in good time.

      Hugs and Love

    Remembering Barbaro today. Gone twelve years to the day. It is as vivid as yesterday in my memory. We all thought he was going to make it right up to the end, when things went horribly wrong. Run free like the wind, beautiful boy. RIP!

    Can’t believe it has been 12 years since Barbaro left us. He broke a lot of hearts. We know his owners did everything they could for him. RIP big guy.

    Just saw on Bloodhorse.com that Biscuits arrived safely at the farm in Japan. Good health and lots of nice dates for him.

    We have a forecast of a high of 2 tomorrow and wind chill of -35! Staying in.

      Oh gosh, Shirlee! I can’t relate to those temps! The lowest I go is 9, when I was visiting my cousin in Reno, NV one time! Stay cozy!

      Dear Barbara,

      Don’t feel bad — I missed it, too. Never saw anything about it in the newspaper, either before or after. I saw that City of Light won because of the great people here on Z’s blog.
      City of Light was very impressive indeed. Congrats to him and all connections, and best wishes in retirement.

      Hugs and Love

      Dear Sheena:

      Love Moose for his feisty attitude and independence.

      We have forecast for single digits overnight tonight and tomorrow night. Teens in the daytime. Stay warm. Love and Hugs, JB

        You will need to keep track of her for us Sheena.
        I truly hope she shines as bright as her Mama did for us over here.

      Dear Janet:

      Thanks for sharing this article on Delta’s Royalty. St. Francis keep her safe always.

      Her dam was so special. Tragic that we lost her. RIP beautiful girl. Love and Hugs, JB

      Thanks for the link/update. It still makes my heart hurt to think of losing Royal Delta, but I’m going to jump on the bandwagon with high hopes for Delta’s Royalty. Wouldn’t it be grand if she can really run?

    Please keep our beloved Mama Z warm & toasty —

    And that goes for everyone at Lane’s End who has to go out at the crack of dawn to care for all of their precious charges.

    Dear Z, COZ, ZI, BBG and DC:

    Stay comfy, cozy and warm if you’re in the path of the freezing temps. Happy Dreams. Love and Hugs, JB

      Dear Judy,

      Hope you are well and WARM. Sounds incredibly frigid in the upper states! We are experiencing a spell of cold, also, but nothing like the double-digit minuses in other places. Those who wish for higher temps around here only have to wait a few days — they are predicting upper 60’s to 70° by mid-week. Crazy! The weather folks say we are colder than normal here, but I think they are basing this on the recent 20 years.

      Take care. You and Lola Mae stay toasty! ⛄️

      Hugs and Love

    Dear Marshall:

    Was single digits last night, teens today and dropping again. Now it’s 15 degrees and falling. Hope you and the pups are well. Feel so bad for people in below zero areas. Love and Hugs, JB
