To Team Z,
I love the new website and it was so wonderful that you left all of the old information available to us. I have been a part of the site since the very beginning and often go back to read heartfelt messages and reflect on how very special this place is. So many old friends are gone, but memories and their wonderful words live on. It was fun clicking on the big pink heart you supplied and sending special love to the most beautiful human/ horse ever, our beloved Zenny. Thank you to everyone in Team Z for allowing us to continue to be a part of her life, it means the world!!
A special HELLO to all of my wonderful Z-friends. I think about you everyday and hope that you are healthy, happy and safe in your lives.
Dearest Zenny, I send you my heart from afar along with all my love and prayers for a safe delivery and wonderful strong foal when the time comes. Until then, enjoy the beginning of spring, a breeze in your mane, the sun on your back, a roll in the mud, a special patch of new grown grass, a peppermint, a pat and kindness overflowing. Sweet dreams my love.
Hugs to all, Dawn

Thanks for the tweaks. Also thanks for fixing the bio so that now the info is readable in a scroll through whereas before, two pages were on top of each other so that neither could be read. I understand that not everyone had that problem. I was one who did, and now I don’t. Hooray.
Love to all the Zeesters.

I love the new look! And, the photos that scroll across the top when you first enter the site are wonderful…showing us all again the heart of a true champion. Team Z…you continue to make things interesting an better for all of us who love the Queen and everything about her.
Zenny…it’s getting close to the time when 14Z makes an appearance. Stay safe, happy and healthy.

Nice design-seems easy to navigate.
Like the way it links to social media sites.
Thanks Team Zenyatta!

March 7 Cherokee Devotional
The first thing in the morning when our feet touch the floor, our feelings begin to feed us impressions. Not only do they review our situation in a few seconds, they decide if this is a good day or if it should be one of anxiety. This is the precise time to hush feelings and paint the day the way we want it to be-not to be fed from the negative side. We tell the wrong impressions that they are not acceptable, that we feel different than we have in the past. This is a new day and we are free and happy, able to change what needs to be changed, to do what needs to be done. There are times when we must go against our own feelings and dictate what we will have, shaping and reshaping the hours as we see fit.
When I make peace, it is a long and lasting one. There is no end to it.

It is so hard to believe that it was 2 years ago tomorrow, March 8th.
Two years ago that I came to work in early morning, and checked the Zenyatta website first thing (like I did daily back then during baby watch). Two years ago that I started crying tears of happy when I saw the picture of her nuzzling her newborn with “IT’S A BOY!” plastered all over it! Two years ago when we crashed her website for hours. Two years ago when we all got to really see that she was the most wonderful mother (as she is the most wonderful at everything she has ever tried).
Happy 2 year old birthday, Cozmic One! Now it’s time to show the world the stuff you are made of! The stuff dreams are made of…

Dear Kathy.Great new look to the website! Am not sure where to post though. Hovis is on the previous blog he’s having problems with his ladies!Don’t know if you saw my message about Little Daniel’s passing yesterday I accessed the news on Zoe’s FB ,they are off line for about 24hrs,so sad this little boy never got to experience all the wonderful things life has to offer.He touched the world with his courage,now at last he can rest in peace.
Am enjoying crufts over here,the Samoyed and Rottweiler won their respective groups last night. Is a beautiful day here in Wales after the long wet winter spring has arrived!such a beautiful verse on Zoe’s page today and Boo cruising looking for the cookie jar! Off to see the rest now. Thinking of Audrey.Have a great Friday.Hugs to You Kisses for the Puppy Pack. Sheena
Celeste_in_TX
Thank you once again, Team Z, for all the care and consideration you are always showing to us, the fans of Zenyatta who love her so much. The changes to the site seem to make it pop and as everything, our Queen has touched in some way, it is wonderful. I am so grateful for your generosity in allowing us to continue being involved and informed in the life of your wondermare. My heart is lifted. Thank you.
sue and tony
Julie…we agree with your entire post! Yes, we crashed this site and our interest in all things Z is as strong as ever. We are blessed to have this place and for Zenny to have such a gifted team who shares her and her “kids” with all of us.
We love the new look!
Kathy
Dear Sheena,
Yes! The new website looks great! I did find Hovis on the previous blog. Thanks you. RIP little Daniel. He is no longer suffering. God bless him and his grieving family. Oh, I love Samoyeds with their gorgeous fluffy white coats and their beautiful smiling faces. So glad you’re enjoying Crufts! Will check on the FB furbabies now. Have a wonderful Friday and enjoy your weekend. Hugs from me, kisses from The Pack. Kathy

Dear Carol:
Turns out I was on the wrong page. I was clicking the Heart and nothing was happening. Z’s website answered my email and made me aware of my mistake. I was able to be counted, but after all my Senior Brain Freeze attempts, I never made the first 20. Most important to me is to be counted as one of our beloved Z’s fans; that I did accomplish. Love and Hugs, JB

Happy Second Birthday Coz!
The new site design is very efficient and attractive as well. Thank you Team Z for allowing us to stay in touch. The hard work updating and maintaining this site is very much appreciated by all of the Queens fans.
Ann NC
Thanks Team Z. This web site has always been a good one, design wise, now even better.

Max and Fly fans, nice training pics of, Fly, Annie and others.
Max
Ann NC. These are wonderful photos. The one with The Fly and Champagne Fever shows how small The Fly is, 15 hands like his great grandfather Northern Dancer, who also knew a thing or two about sinking his teeth into targets. Annie looks very good too. Big, beautiful member of the chestnut club. Nerves are on edge for all of these guys.

Sorry that I haven’t been posting/commenting on what you’ve shared..
Spent February fighting an upper respiratory infection.
The last batch of meds seems to have brought in under control.
I say that with cautious optimism since it has been less than a week since I finished taking them. Some cough lingers.
Sandy- I could very much relate to what you were going through.
Terry-please know that I read & appreciated your comments & jokes.
Judy B-knew that I could relax & you would do a great job of research
Max, Sheena, Kethy- as always such good coverage of the international plus Hovis.
Anne-Go Cowtown Mary!!
Peggy, Barbara, Shirlee, Dawn, Abigail, Ann Maree, Diana & all Z-sters and Dumplings-
your stories and comments not only kept me informed but sometimes made me laugh and sometimes made me cry. Thank you!
Max
Very glad that you are feeling better. Was missing your posts and wondering about you. Thought that you were busy. Always look forward to your posts. Thanks BGG.

Dear Team Z,
This new look is terrific! We Zsters are sooooo lucky to have Zenyatta’s team keeping us in her life. I, for one, rarely miss a day looking in but don’t post very much. Love the photos, videos and the shopping too!
As always great thanks to you.

Has Zenyatta been moved to the foaling barn? What is her actual due date?
