Good Morning,
Look who is peeking out of her stall at BARN 55! It is my dear baby sister, EBLOUISSANTE! We have the same MOM, Vertigineaux, but our sires are different. My DAD is STREET CRY and her’s is BERNARDINI.
John keeps teasing that he would know those EARS anywhere! The first time he saw “E” at Winter Quarter Farm last year, she was in a field with several other yearlings. He got out of the car, looked around for literally one short moment, and said…”there she is, Zenny’s sister”. He felt her body carriage and fabulous EARS were definitely a huge clue. Those qualities truly reminded him of ME!
Per John, Eblouissante is also very, very inquisitive. (Sound familiar???) She wants to always check everything out that is going on in the barn and she pays close attention to all that is happening around her. (If I say so myself, I THINK SHE IS PRETTY SMART too!)
As you can see, she does not have any white on her. Per the Jockey Club, she is considered to be dark bay-brown / black in color. “E” is also a good-sized girl, I know that feeling, with a great shoulder and hip! Our MOM had a great deal of size and presence….so I’m sure some of this we inherited from HER! Lucky Us!
From all reports, “E” is adapting very well to her new environment and really catching on well to the training routines at Barn 55!
John said he’d keep us ALL posted on how she is doing! As her BIG SISTER, I hope I can offer some great advice to her as we go along! Dottie has mentioned to ME that is something big sisters often do!
In reality, that is what is so much fun right now for ME…I can also help to TEACH things to my family and friends drawing upon my wide range of challenges, life-experiences, and accomplishments!
Have a fabulous Tuesday!
With Love,
Hugs to All~(Especially my dear baby sister, Eblouissante!)

I’ve been keeping up with her on her facebook page while she was in SC and since she left for Cal. So glad to see a picture of her at barn 55 – so many things about her remind me of you, Zenny. Give her lots of good advice and tell her that your fans love her also. It’s all “in the family!” (Thanks Dottie)
Marty
I can’t wait to see how she develops. Love you Zenny!!!

Love her! I hope John post You Tube videos of her like has done in the past! Could you tell us who her owners are? Thanks!

Awww! “E” is a beautiful girl. I’m so glad she is in John’s most capable and loving hands. Hoping she will be running in your hoofsteps soon! Your mama is doing a great job of having the “best” baby girls around! Love you always Zenny! XOXOXO. (Thanks Dottie!)

I am going to take the leap. How are Eblouissante and Vertigineaux pronounced?
Hi Z
Love hugs and kisses
Kathy Baldwin
Eblouissante is a beauty, just like you Zen!
Now we have something else special to look
forward to. :) She is in such good hands and
will have the best of care, just like you
always did. :)
Godspeed and Blessings to Eblouissante!

E really does bear quite a resemblance to Z. Mom must have really dominant genes. Let’s hope she has Zennie’s wonderful disposition. Wouldn’t it be mindblowing if she starts dancing? I’m so excited that we may have another horse that could come close to our beloved Queen Z.
Ann Maree
Hi, Z!!!
FINALLY!!
Pam Zacek,
I Love all this informaation good luck to your baby sister, may she continue, in your, great Hoofs, she is pretty cool, and hope she does well also.. Love all these up dates, like I learn alot, about racing, that I sure didn’t know before, thank you to all your teams, and of course you Zen.
Ann Maree
Hi, Z, again! Don’t know what happened! Was writing and then the screen just jerked away! Lots of people wanting to post, no doubt.
So happy to be hearing about your baby sister!!! Have been really excited and anxious for weeks! If it’s ok, I have nicknamed her “Ebby”, but I like “E”, also. Can’t wait for John to get some training videos of her. Who are her groom and hot walker and other handlers?
Still waiting to hear about “you know what” with you!! I know everyone is being extra cautious, but I’m feeling very positive! I think you just needed to be “off the track” a little longer and have a chance to get more settled in and relaxed, so I’m so optimistic. Nothing wrong with your ability to get “pg” for sure! Big, big hugs! Your friend, Ann Maree
Ellen
E. is beautiful. She will have a wonderful time in Barn 55. Especially with big sister giving her tips. Z love your dapples.
Kathy Baldwin
What a beauty E is, Zenny, just like you! :)
Now we have something else special to watch
for. She will have the best of care, just as
you always did, when you were racing. She is
in the BEST OF HANDS, that is for sure. ;)
Godspeed and Blessings to Eblouissante!
Kathy from SoCal xoxo

Dear Zenny – thanks so much for letting us know how E is doing! I saw her a few days after she arrived at Barn 55 and was so impressed…she is going to be one BiG girl, just like you. You have so much to offer her, she is lucky to have you as a big Sis, mentor, and coach. By the way, I also fell in LOE with your neighbor, Violet Rose; such a sweet girl. Hope to have Brunch with you this Sunday! Love and Hugs!!
Helen
How very exciting! Mighty big hoof-prints to fill for young Big E …
Sue
I will be watching for Big E to race. I do miss seeing you race though. I have many of your YouTube videos as favorites so when I need a Zenyatta fix I watch a couple of those.
Janie
Ebby Lu is a pretty girl, just like her big sister. Hope to visit her one day soon at Barn 55!

Love those ears!
Love you!!!

DEAR LADY Z,
BEING A BIG SISTER IS A GIGANTIC RESPONSIBILITY…IF ANYONE CAN HANDLE IT, IT IS YOU :)
SWEET LITTLE “E” IS JUST A DARLING AS YOU WERE AT THAT AGE. I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE HER ON THE TRACK.
HOW IS THE WEATHER IN KY? I WORRY WITH ALL OF THE THUNDERSTORMS AND POSSIBLE TORNADOS. STAY SAFE AND WARM!
MK
Nice to meet you, E! Thank you to Z, et al. for the wonderful introduction. I’ll look forward to progress reports.

“E” already has a facebook page – enjoy. There are some “family photos”.

Zenny, what is Eblouissante’s call name around the barn? Lots of love and luck to her…. and to you too, of course.

E is very precious, and I know we will grow to love her to since she is your little sister. She certainly has great hooves to fill! No one will ever compare to you but we will always give our support and caring to your sweet family.

Hello Beautiful Girl,
I loved seeing the picture of the ‘dazzling’Eblouissante. She is beautiful in her blackness. It seems you both share the same intelligence, warm and friendly feelings. Your beautiful Mom did her job exceptionally well. Miss ‘dazzling’ is in good hands with Dottie and John and their team. May she have a successful racing career – no injuries or illness!
XOXOXO Always.

Dearest Sweet “Z”,
Thank you for sharing the photo of your sister Eblouissante. “E” is for Ears…and she has got em! Her handsome face reminds me of Bernardini. She is a cutie, just like you “Z”!! We will be following her closely :)
…………………………………
Mary B. Congratulations! I am so happy that you won our “Z”‘s precious halter. I am glad it is with you in your home. I can only imagine the memories that are brought up when one gazes upon it or touches it. Maybe we could see a photo of where you place it? Have a blessed Day!
