Dear Kathy.A blessed Sabbath to you too.I have just been watching Songbird’s race Mike certainly as a way with the girls!You look to have gotten a lot of rain in CA and must be very happy.It’s very cool and blustery here today.Rule the World has been parading back home in Ireland and Many Clouds (who got best turned out) is happily rolling in the puddles at his Lambourn home.This foal is certainly taking it’s time to arrive.Surely is 2 weeks overdue now.You must have seen Ted E Bear is running for president as well as Mr Fibbs.Trump or Clinton have no hope!!!.Enjoy your day.Love and hugs to you,kisses for Angel Holly,Nikko and Sugar.SheenaXOXO

Dear Max.I am and always will be fiercely proud to be Welsh/British.I know the hereditary system has a lot of faults and the sun set on our empire many moons ago but I cannot bear people who criticize our monarchy and our traditions.I know a lot of peeps in the UK would love a republic but me never.And the North of Ireland continues to be part of the UK.We have had a troubled history with Ireland but as things go it seems to be improving especially after Her Majesty’s visit in 2011.One must always learn forgiveness is good for the soul and the healing process has begun for the majority.We look to the future.Sheena
Max
No one here as far I know ever tries to criticize the British system of government. We’re interested in horses not politics. You mentioned however that Mullins should get a honorary title from your Queen for winning the British training title, if he does. The Irish constitution prevents that because the Irish accept like the US that their people have no need for class titles. Horses on the other hand or hoof are clearly superior everywhere.
sheena.davies(wales)
Dear Max.You should read some of the comments in the daily mail if there is a royal story printed.I know the Americans always respect and admire Her Majesty as do the majority of Brits Bob Geldof got an honorary knighthood but Willie lets the horses do the talking.You misunderstood my post I meant the British who are critical of the monarchy and our traditions.Sheena
Max
The strength of democracy is being able to discuss things like changing the system openly. Freedom of speech is a great thing. And don’t throw in the towel yet on the racing title. Nicholls isn’t finished. I read an article about Silvi. Paul doesn’t understand what made him stop in the Grand National. The horse wasn’t hurt and he did not bled. He just stopped racing on his own. Moose behavior may be spreading far and wide. In my opinion, horses know best. Zenyatta, we wait.

Hi there. I am having fun reading all the blogs and enjoying the wonderful pictures. I didn’t know horses would eat bananas. I used to feed my horse celery. He like that. I check this site often.

Thanks Team Z for the cute video of Zenny’s Birthday Celebration. Watched it more than once or maybe twice or um, who’s counting. Hope it warms up in KY before our little boy or girl makes an entrance.

Should I be worrying? If I drank alcohol, I’d be hitting the bottle just about now …. come on Zen, let’s drop that little girl (I hope) …

Thank you to Marshall, Judy Berube, Ann NC and Sheena for the birthday wishes. It’s been a great birthday so far and would be even better if Queen Z delivers before midnight. Happy Sunday to all.

Dear Ann and Jerry: What are you doing to occupy your wait? At least when I’m on foal watch, I’m home and snooze during the (many) off hours. :-) I know the Lane’s End crew (bless them! ) have it covered — so to speak ;-) — but I can’t help but wonder what you’re doing to occupy the time. Going to the races? Checking on your other lovely horses? Dealing with business? (I’m sure of that!) Waiting is tough enough at home, I can’t imagine it “on the road.”

April 11 Cherokee Devotional
Jesus spoke the words to the storm and it was stilled. This is the season for spring storms, and we need to be alert. If we know what is about to happen, we too, can speak the words. Those words are “Peace, be still.” Peace can be spoken to one’s own spirit, and all fears that swirl around us can be stilled.
Unfortunately most people speak the opposite of peace. As a young girl I was in a storm cellar with an old lady who told us all the gory details of past storms. She said she knew someone who was sucked out of a storm cellar and never found. Don’t listen to the doomsayers. Rebuke the ones who counter peace and stillness, just as you would any storm.
Peace, be still
-Jesus

Good morning sweet Zenny. Still no baby. Thought all the rain might bring on a foal. Guess you really are waiting for tax day. A foal would brighten things up on that foul day when many of us finally figure out how much Uncle Sam wants from us.
Celeste/ Massachusetts
Anxiously waiting Zenyatta!!! Positive thoughts for an easy delivery and healthy mom and foal!

Hi Zenny
Just checking in to see if there’s any news. Thinking of you this morning and praying for a safe delivery.
Love you.

Dear Rosemary,
Happy Birthday! Missed a post yesterday, but hope you had a wonderful day and will have a great birthday week. My husband told me years ago, that birthdays should be celebrated longer than a day. Hope you celebrate at least all week! Pray God’s many blessings for this ‘new year’ for you. with love and very best wishes, Elizabeth
