      Dear Sweet Sue:

      Has been a very sad couple of weeks with the tragic passing of Kauto Star and the injuries to CC, MS and LE. Power Up Sweeties; praying for you.

      Wonderful photo of HC. Love and Hugs, JB

      Sue, The Whitney, Oh No. My sweet beautiful Lea is training up to that one. He doesn’t need the kind of competition Honor Code will provide. But safe trip to both of these guys!

      Honor Code is one good looking dude.

    What terrible news. I got a cold chill when I read about Lady Eli. Prayers for all of our suffering equines. Earlier this week I met a lovely woman that just moved here from Lexington, Kentucky. She was finding the adjustment difficult. Her sister’s husband had passed away and she moved to be near her. In a small town it’s difficult to find your niche. Until she does I suggested she visit Zenyatta.com because when I feel down or lonely it’s like a warm blanket on a cold day. Picked my last blueberries of the year.

    Dear Max.I expect there will be an official announcement about CC soon.Rumours abound on social media!I read about the incident on the beach at RI.We had a long election campaign over here because of our fixed term parliament.As you know a Prime Minister could always call an election usually when things were going well for the government!Did you hear about Nicola and the SNP refusing to support an amendment to the fox hunting bill.Dave wanted more hounds to flush out a fox.I well remember Dave and his gang pleading with the Scottish to stay in the UK last September. Now he’s mad with them for interfering.Can’t have it both ways. Anyway hunting is barbaric there are far more humane ways to control foxes. The French were celebrating today even Treve is on her holidays she looks superb and CDA posted a pic of himself snoozing in the hay.I haven’t heard yet if Golden Horn will run in the big Ascot race on July 25th he may wait for the Juddmonte.Who’.d have guessed of a horse called John Wayne!!!!Sheena.

      Thanks for the reference to Cirrus snoozing. I love photos like that of horses sleeping flat out. Doesn’t happen all that often. Like it that CDA only sleeps with one eye closed.
      I’m always on the side of foxes. Most of them are chestnuts.
      Waiting for JudyB to explain all about the RI beach explosion.
      These rodeo horses are great athletes. Only hope that they all get as good care as John Wayne and his buddies. These are very hardworking horses.

        Dear Max and Sheena:

        CDA snoozing in the hay made me think of Life Is Sweet. Going to check and see if I can find anything on her babies.

        Would you believe, State officials have indicated that they cannot say exactly what caused the explosion on Salty Brine Beach on Saturday past. They’ve indicated there is no sign of foul play. I have linked an article from today’s Hartford Currant. It occurred to me, although it’s probably far fetched, that it might have been some remnant of fireworks that had a delayed reaction. They do have fireworks displays at most of the beaches on the 4th of July. I wonder if one of them jetted off track and embedded in the sand and then in the heat of the days we’ve been having here, activated and exploded. If that is the case though, you would think the searchers would have found some evidence of the firework material. Very strange. Love and Hugs, JB

        • Dear Max:

          So funny. I will say if chickens were among the injured, Frank would be the Prime Suspect. We have recently discovered that Frank does NOT like chickens. He’s fine with Bluebell, the calf and all the Minis, but chickens beware. Love and Hugs, JB

    Dear Z Fans:

    Was just looking for info on Life Is Sweet’s babies. I found her 2012 filly by Bernardini. Her name is Sweet Promises; she’s a Bay and was born March 29, 2012. She has had three MSW starts at Santa Anita and has not placed as yet. Could not find a photo of her.

    LIS’s 2013 filly by Tapit, is a Gray and named Lady Pamela. She was born on 4/19/2013. She has not started as yet. Couldn’t find a photo of her either.

    While I was looking for photos, I found this wonderful photo of COZ and jockey R. Maragh as they were loading in COZ’s race on the July 8th. My God, he’s so gorgeous. Like how RM is patting his neck.

      Life Is Sweet’s 2011 colt, Disintermediate, by Smart Strike, never raced. Love and Hugs, JB

        Dear Z Fans:

        Sorry to give you some very tragic news on Life Is Sweet’s first born, Disintermediate. After doing some further checking to try to find him, I read a note on Pedigree Query that he suffered a fractured pastern in a workout at Golden Gate in December of 2013 and was euthanized. Rest In Peace beautiful baby boy; run free in God’s heavenly pastures. Love and Hugs, JB

        • Dear Judy,

          Oh, RIP, beautiful boy.

          And thank you for the most beautiful photo from our Coz.
          Love and hugs Ingrid.

        • ♥ I love Life Is Sweet (I own a Moneigh painting of hers). So sad she lost a foal, too!!!! I have to think Z Princess and Disintermediate are together in Heaven’s Pasture… two babies running free….

      Superb photo of Coz. He is incredibly good looking like his momma.
      Heard that Coz had his pony with him in the saddling area. Sounds like The Beast. Kick some butt, Coz.

      Thanks for sharing this photo, JB. Coz is so handsome.
      Love to see those pats, too. Thankful RM is recuperating at home.

    Dear Ann Moss,

    Happy Birthday, Hope you had fun and ate lots of cake and icecream, this is one day you can eat anything you want guilt free. Hope the fresh morning breeze brought with it the sweet echoes of ZPrincess’s voice as she sang her heart out to her best mom. I join my voice in echoing the sentiments of my fellow Z Nation family in thanking you and your husband and the whole Z team in allowing us fan’s to be a part of the Queen’s life with her lovely Princes. My mother, though recently gone to be with the Lord loved the Queen and it was her dearest wish to see Queen Zenyatta one day and am sure she thanks you too for making it possible to follow the Queen as her greatest joy was whenever I brought the news of the Queen. May the good Lord continue to Bless you and your family and give you great success with the Queen’s off springs. First Prince will be just fine, he just needs a little more time to master his mother’s dance steps then he will be good to go. On a more serious note, first Prince, CoZmic One, will be just fine and we will all be there to cheer him on all the way to the finish line. No worries. Say hello to your husband and extend our heart felt gratitude to him too. Don’t have too much fun. It is always well at Z Nation. Have a Blessed rest of the day and much love always.

    Dear Donna Alsabrook, Lovely post on previous page. I do know where LaGrange is.
    I am from South Central Ga, close to Valdosta and close to the Ga/Fla line. Nice that there’s a number of people from Ga on Z’s site. So hoping all our ailing horses get better.

    July 15 Cherokee Devotional

    Personal choices have shaped our lives. Some were made too fast, without time to see the good and the bad. Certain things were dressed in bright colors and drew us like bees to nectar. We chose, we sighed, we cried. It was mere color and taste-not substance.
    Time teaches wisdom-or does it? Youth or age or circumstance plays little part. It is the lust that twists judgment and sets us up like clay ducks. This thing, that person, this situation-would make all things perfect? It is a personal choice, a path chosen and not easy to walk-sometimes impossible.

    The white man build big house, cost much money, like big cage, shut out sun, can never move, always sick.

      Dear Sheena, About an hour ago (12:00noon), I watched Celyn(W2) devour a small fish herself, without mom’s help, mom and siblings could only looked on. Glesni attempted to get the fish back but, Celyn pecked at her but, Glesni did not peck at her. She is very fiesty, not wanting to share at all. I guess that is lesson #15. Imagine treating your mom that way. Celyn even pecked at Merin and Brenig when they tried for some of “her” fish. Pause…(1:49pm) Glesni has brought another fish and is feeding, I think, Merin & Brenig. I cannot tell for sure. Celyn is keeping to herself, She definitely acts like she will be a survivor. Looks like a beautiful day at the Dyfi.

    Ryan Moore could be sidelined until the autumn according to mum Jayne,.Although all his tests came back clear he is extremely sore and is going to spend the next few weeks resting.Heard the Coburns have sold their share in CC to Taylor Made and CC will arrive in Kentucky later this week.This horse needs peace and quiet to heal.Hugs Sheena.
