Thinking of Kris Kin as his son Kris Spin wins in mud spattered style at Kelso.His sire was never really a success as a stallion and died tragically in Tripoli in 2012.I am sure he would have been pleased to see his son’s courageous performance.
Looks like another terrorist attack in Muenster several may have died as a van drove into pedestrians.The driver then got out and shot himself.RIP yet more innocents

I loved you with all my heat Karen. You and I became friends on this blog. I know you are in heaven with your 4 leg friends and Jesus. I am so grateful I got to meet you. Peace be with you and your family.
Love you and see you again

So that’s what happened to Z-Princess? Poor baby girl. Kind of figured it was a severe injury like a broken shoulder or hip .. or her back. Up to now, one only heard she was euthanized because of a serious paddock accident.
Thank you Z13rulz for clarifying
Z13Rulz
Playing with other weanlings, one crashed into her and her back was broken.
Lou Naylor
Hi everybody does anyone know when they are going to name our Z17? Has someone come up with a suggestion for a name? We were all over it when Z Princess was born.
Marshall (NC Broad)
Traditionally, the Mosses do not name the colts/fillies until their first birthdays. Several suggestions have been sprinkled throughout previous posts by some of our Z fans — this is quite normal.
17Z is not a yearling just yet, but we all look forward to the official announcement. It won’t be too much longer so we happily wait. :-)
Hugs and Cheers
Marshall (NC Broad)
Additional note:
17Z was born on May 9, 2017.
Only about a month to go until her happy first birthday❣️
Hugs and Love
Sally Blank (cherishes Z and her foals)
Marshall, I am so curious about the name for 17Z. May is just around the corner!! I am excited and of course excited for the new baby too.
Hugs, Sally B

I am truly sad to learn about Karen Gogue. She was one of the original posters who truly loved our Zenny.

When are we going to get an update on Ziconic? I didn’t even see anything about his birthday, I was watching a video of him doing a timed work, and you could see he was really into it, and enjoying himself, but I don’t know how old it was. I know the last race was the first time I saw him not enjoying his work, They have to put him someplace in a race that he can win. I still say that once he gets to the winner’s circle, you will see a big turn a round. He works hard, and he needs to see results; he has lost confidence, and isn’t having fun anymore. I say, try blinkers, put him in a claiming race, where they can protect him, and maybe a up and coming jockey with soft hands, and has a way of connecting with a horse, and get the most out of them by that connection, instead of the whip; Ziconic seems to just give up with use of the whip. Find a jockey that can connect with him, like Victor did with California Chrome. Ziconic needs a gentle touch, he already has work ethics. Anyway, has anyone seen pictures of a birthday party for him?

Dear Roberta:
ZI has had three works since his last race on 2/9/18. The works were on 2/24, 3/7 and 3/13. Nothing in April so far. Maybe we’ll have an update soon. Hope he’s well. Love and Hugs, JB
Z13rulz
If there was any sort of party for Ziconic there is no record of it.
I doubt there was a party but maybe Mario gave him some extra pats.

Hi all; I know I do not post too often any more. I wanted to share the deepest sad news of our Fancy (pants) at the CV horse sanctuary. Many may remember me posting stories in the past with what was going on with the horses and such.
This Tues am some one called the head volunteer to say Fancy was down. I got a heads up as I did horse duties and I met Jackie and the vet ten minutes after I had arrived.
Yes, Fancy nickered and turned her head towards me and I came out by her (as she was down just outside the stall) So sad to say the vet said Fancy’s heart was giving in so to speak. Fancy had the greatest heart of mind, still a beautiful horse, desired to get up but had no more energy because of her heart, so I blessed our dear Fancy, told her I loved her and just had to deal with it. I am still so sad and crushed by one of the kindest, gentle horses I had met, one I will always remember in my heart. It is always hard to see any loved one go. Never thought I would feel the same way as a dog or cat or loved one. When they are in your heart, it breaks.
Thank you,
Sally B
Marshall (NC Broad)
Dear Sally,
I am so terribly sorry and very sad that sweet Fancy has left us. You are so very right about their being in your heart and the heartbreak. However, they will always be there — forever in our hearts. Bless you for loving her and for the wonderful care you gave her.
Sending thoughts and prayers to you and all who loved this beautiful soul. RIP dear Fancy, there is another bright star shining tonight. I am certain that your beloved Sir was there at the Bridge to welcome Fancy home. ?
Hugs and Love
Sally Blank (cherishes Z and her foals)
Marshall, Thank you for the loving thoughts; it means a lot.
hugs,
Sally
Donna Z
Dear Sally B,
My heart goes out to you. It is so sad when our beloved friends have to leave us. I am sure that Fancy appreciated all the love and care that you and all the rescue people gave her. You made her life here a better one and I am sure that she will greet you when it’s your time for your journey to heaven. Until then, you will always be in each others’ hearts.

My Dear Sally:
So very sorry for the loss of your Fancy. I know how much you loved her and she knew that she was loved. RIP beautiful girl. Love and Hugs, JB

As you know I heard about Fancy on FB last night.Thinking of you today.Love and hugs
Donna Z
I saw on Spendthrift Farm’s Facebook page today that Victor has been named to ride Bolt D’Oro in the Derby. I am a fan of Bolt, but not of Victor. Bolt is a really nice horse and does not need to be whipped as much as Victor does it in order to run his best. Too bad that penalties are not given for excessive use of the whip here like is done in Europe. If it was, Victor would be paying a lot of fines or serving a lot of suspensions…
judy berube
Dear Donna Z:
I too believe VE over uses the whip. He was fined in Meydan this year for overuse and his use of the whip on American Pharoah in the 2015 Kentucky Derby caused a great deal of concern from some track officials, vets and fans. Love and Hugs, JB
sheena.davies(wales)
I remember when Victor visited RA we had to remind him we had rules….
