Good Morning,
It’s contest time! Dottie is off to Hollywood Park this morning for the drawing of the “64 contestants”. Good luck everyone!
I wanted to share with you a pencil drawing that Sherrill Brooke did of ME! It is one that MY JOHN really loves. He has it hanging in his office at the house right by his desk. This way, I am right there with him each day!
We will post the 64 names on the web-site later today. My Barn 55 friends are going to help us by drawing the cards out of the containers. They will do a very careful job! I told them NO PEEKING! This is TOO CUTE!
With love,
Hugs to All~

Zenyatta, thank you for the update. Love the pencil drawing of you. Have just started planning my trip to Lexington. Wow. There sure are a lot of interesting places to visit there. Hopefully I will get a glimpse of you when I visit Lanes End. Happy Wednesday.

Hi Zenny, Beautiful, talented drawing. Best to everyone.

My Gosh, That pencil drawing is so real. It looks just as beautiful as a black and white picture taken of you. How can we contact this lady about the reproduction of this fine portrait. I want one too.
Some people are so doggone talented. I wish I could do this..
Shannon From Cool
Excellent drawing and pencil!!! Wow, I know how much time that takes. Very lovely drawing.
Brenda
What a beautiful drawing and what a great idea to make it available for sale – I’m sure all your fans would love to have one. Fingers, toes and hooves are crossed for the drawing of the cards and for a good result from your visit to Bernie. Everyone should remember that “Guinness is good for you”
Astrid
The pencil drawing is amazing. Very talented artist!
Wonder how many cards there are for the drawing… Would be fun guessing the amount of cards and weight of bags :)

Zenyatta, if I’m not mistaken that would be Mr. Brooke. He is probably the greatest equine painter living today. He surely captured the essence of you. Dottie, thank you so much for sharing this valuable drawing.

Zenny what a beautiful pencil drawing of you by Sherril Brooke. I’m an artist also & she did an excellent job!!!!! You should make prints as suggested to sell. The proceeds could go towards your favorite charities. I’d buy one of my favorite horse- you Z. Good luck to all in the drawing today. Thanks again to John & Dottie. Hooves crossed.
Jeanie
Dear Great One,
You are just as beautiful and majestic in pencil as you are in living color! And I have had the pleasure of being close enough to reach out and touch you and you walked by, but didn’t out of respect for your beauty and majesty.
Your humble J.

That is truly a beautiful drawing;) Good luck everyone. We know we are already winners from sharing the ZEN EFFECT. It’s just that one of us gets to also win a beautiful bronze.
Arlene
Quite appropriate to see a picture of the drawing of you, Zenny, the same day as the drawing! – both drawn with love!
Barbara
Beautiful drawing! Happy Wednesday Lady Z :)
Rebecca C.
Zenyatta could you Please share some more photos or news on Eblouissante? Everyone REALLY wants to know how she is doing. Also could you share some news on your dam Vertigineux and her new foal, or maybe even share a photo of her with her new foal.

Dear Zenny
The pencil drawing of you is gorgeous. Is the artist
A professional. It is sooo life like. Good luck to
All in the contest. What a great idea to have the CA
Team pick the cards.
Have a wonderful relaxing day. You look sooo relaxed
In your photos since retirement. No longer the

Your heart could have taken more races but maybe
Not your body. XXXOOO to your BBF and Bernie.
