Happy Thursday!
Today we have a few new photos from Lane’s End. Alys has been spending time with Zenyatta and 12Z, capturing aspects of their daily routines. She sent us these two videos, each featuring a 360 degree view of Lane’s End!
Enjoy!

that’s what I wondered

Dear Debra and Sharon,
She has mud above her left eye from rolling in the mud and being a horse.
Oh my, keeping her clean and tidy must be a lot of work, but sooo very much fun.
Horses get mud absolutely everwhere when they are out in the paddock !!!

What happened to Zenny’s eye??
Jeanie
I wondered about the eye thing too. Hopefully it is just a goober of some type.

Dear Christine and Jeanie,
Looks like she is having so much fun rolling in the mud, splatted a bit on her above her
left eye. Horses get mud in sooo many places, it is so hard to clean it all, but zoo
very much fun.
