Happy Monday!
We’re happy to share a few new photos of Coz in training. The folks at Mayberry Farm call him handsome, personable, and lovely to be around! He’s pictured here with his rider Ronaldo, who has been at Mayberry Farm since Zenyatta’s training. His kitty friend, Daisy, is shown perched at her regular spot above Coz’s stall.
When we recently asked for feedback and suggestions concerning the Zenyatta Shop, we received such a wonderful response. Thank you! It’s going to be a fun year with new product releases down the line.
Last but not least, at the bottom of this post you’ll find a special note from Ann Moss. She wanted to share a very sweet moment with all of you. Enjoy!
The last time I had seen Coz he was running around in his own paddock showing off for us and his buddies in the paddocks next to him. A very happy young man. This is the first time I had seen him since he started on his new life with Jeannie Mayberry, getting ready for what he was born to do… race. His racing career had begun. Jeannie had given him the same as his Mother: the last stall where he has perfect view of the whole barn and even the training track. Made me weep with joy (which I’ve been known to do smile) to see him standing there as he let me kiss his sweet nose, this big boy already grand and majestic receiving his saddle and his rider and proudly doing his lessons.
Later in the day standing in a gentle mist visiting with Zenny, I suddenly felt inclined to show her the video I had just taken earlier of her boy and knew how proud she would be of him, of how well he was doing with all his lessons and how Jeannie had said he was so smart and kind and how wonderfully he moves… She suddenly started her dance and tossing her head and turning her head to look at my iPhone! She totally knew she was watching her son Cozmic One and she was very proud. She especially liked the video of him getting his bath and she literally licked my phone! Reminding me yet again how I have to pick up my conversation with her. That she totally gets and understands All. Of course she and I have had many chats on the phone over the years and he’s always been around nosing in on our conversations, so it totally makes sense but still stunned me as well. So I wanted to share these constantly amazing Beings with YouS :) and say again Thanks! for all the Good Thoughts Well Being and Love YouS send to Them =)

Tidal Bay is right up there among the favorites for the Grand National. I’d love to see him win. Kauto thinks that he can.
Moosie is strangely quiet. Must be getting ready for another winter sport. Free that Moose!
Try to stay dry. I’m looking at more snow, but that’s not news.

Dear Zenny,
Happy Valentine’s Day to you, Coz, the little Red Prince, Z14, everyone at Lane’s End, and Team Z. You will always have very special places in our hearts and this comes with lots of love.
Another Happy Valentine’s Day to all of my Zenny friends. To borrow a little from the beautiful song from Wicked, because I know you, I have been changed for good! Hope you day is filled with many good things.

Isn’t technology grand? (NOT!). That was supposed to be a heart (and it looked like one before I hit “submit”). Grrrr

Dear Sandy,
Thanks for the Valentine! Happy Valentine’s Day to you, too.
I agree with you about the “grandness” of technology — my computer is always playing tricks on me, too!
Lots of Love and Hugs

I still feel the love, thanks, Sandy! So cute.
Happy Valentines Day to ALL !!!
LOVE AND HUGS!

Some love and some snow is in the air for Hovis. Happy Val’s Day to all.

Max, Thanks for Hovis and Happy Valentines Day. Cracked up at the reference to the constipated Shetland pony. Our Hovis spreads joy over all in this terrible weather.

Hovis- B MINE ♥♥♥♥♥
Thanks, Max. Eat massive amounts of chocolate today!
Max
Still eating chocolate from Kissmus. Someone has to do it. Easter on horizon.
Kathy
Thank you, Max. Happy Valentine’s day, Hovis. Hopefully Foxy will be in the mood! And watch out for those little things that bark.
carol in arkansas
considering Hovis’ size….how little are the “little things” really?
Max
Hovis is a “manly” 16.2 hands so that most barky things would look little compared to him.
Sandy (Northeast Ohio)
Hovis certainly showed remarkable restraint this week – hope he gets lots of Valentine goodies :-) Thanks as always to Sheena via Max for a real treat to brighten up yet another cold, gloomy, snowy day here on the north coast.
Marshall (NC broad)
Thanks, Max!
Love that Hovis!

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!
Our wounds need time to heal. And when it seems the healing has done its work, protection from further hurt is necessary, because our scars are on the surface. Physical wounds are bad enough, but when they come from mental cruelty and unfair treatment, pain returns again and again to reopen what no one should have to bear. It seems almost a sacrilege to ask someone so deeply hurt to forgive those who caused it. Yet unforgiveness causes damage almost as devastating as physical wounds, or more so. There is great stress in bearing grudges and the abused do not need any new pain or new problems. Forgiveness does not set the abusive free, but the abused.
I was living peaceably and satisfied when people began to speak bad of me.

Congratulations to Ebby, the connections and Mike. After such a long layoff, she did very well. Looking forward to the next time.
Happy Valentine’s Day everyone.
Sandy (Northeast Ohio)
Agree Rosemary – she hadn’t raced for months! It was really rude of Blood-Horse to headline that she “flopped”! Grrrr
shirleeinindy
Sandy, I agree. However, they got us all to read the article with a headline like that. Shame on Bloodhorse.
Nancy A Stamp
I am just happy that Ebby did not have any major problems or injury – she still is learning. I do feel a little sorry for Macha = no one has said anything about her win – she did very well. Love them all. Love all the nice pictures. Ebby sure is a beauty..
Maryp NY
I disliked that line on Bloodhorse. Shame on the writer for putting it that way. John has Ebby starting over again. Can’t count the gate debacle in Saratoga where they should have scratched her. The reality is it’s her 3rd time out being in right mind and good shape. She tired and that’s it..finished in the money regardless of who the competition was. Not bad. All those so-called fans with negative comments must be ignored.
By the way, what does “she was keen” mean?
Terry Crow
Maryp-It means that she was eager to run and did not rate well.

Happiest of Valentine Days to all who visit here….

You all know I have a thing for differently named horses. There is a Kittens Joy running in the El Camino Real Derby named Puppy Manners. If I were at the track, could not resist putting money on him. Of course, I still like Purple Egg.

Happy Hearts Day to you, Zenny, your boys, team Z, and to all who visit here!
It may be snowy and icy outside, but isn’t it great that we can count on this site as a friendly place to share a love for Zenny and all things equine?
Thanks to all who sent b’day wishes yesterday. It was a special treat to watch Ebby and Mike. They looked great, and it was a good effort. Can’t wait to see her next outing and hope to see her sharpen up and build some stamina. If anyone can help her do it, it’s John and Mike.
Sandy (Northeast Ohio)
Don’t miss the new post with gorgeous pictures of . . . well . . . I don’t see how we can call him the “little” red Prince any longer and a brief Zenny video!
suewVa
I simply must thank Ann again for sharing her very personal thoughts with all of us,
I think and hope each of us understands how special it is that we continue to share in the great Zenyatta’s life and those of her colts. Ann knows the great mare better than any and to see those words just emphasized again how unique our Queen is and how closely she has bonded with her amazing owners. Maybe someday we will totally understand the depth of her intelligence and fully realize that she is a gift from above.
A humble thank you just doesn’t seem enough but I believe the Mosses see the impact Zenny has on we humans.
Catherine Uher
Tears of joy are running down my face at Ann’s message and seeing Zenyatta watching her first son on Ann’s phone is just marvelous!!! Her baby boy is so stunning and looks so much like her!!! Love the pictures of Daisy above his stall and love that he is in his mama’s stall…Just such inspiration and love all around her and her boys and the Moss’!!!! Thank you so much for continuing to share her and her babies with us!!! Meeting her back in November was a dream come true for me and I am forever grateful for that blessing in my life!!! <3 <3 <3

Hi!
How about some videos of Coz training?
Would love to see them.
Thank you!

Coz train carefully, rest in paddock near mates, i think you have wide range of gallop speed, breeze lightly, turn on full speed not often, walk after
