Good Morning,
I wanted to give you an update on HOW I AM DOING! I am eating very well…no surprise there…and enjoying myself tremendously. My number of treats is being monitored (as it should be) and I am drinking lots of water each day and nothing else.
As you can see, I do have a bit of a BABY BUMP. I am HAPPILY gaining a few pounds…right in the middle. As many of you may know from your own personal experiences, this is what happens when you are having a baby!
In the responses, many of you have asked about my actual breeding date. It was on April 3rd. Time is flying by so quickly. Another fun fact to note is that my paddock pal, Tasty Temptation, was also bred on the very same day. She was bred to Candy Ride and is also in foal.
Thus, Tasty T. and I have a great deal in common. We are both experiencing the exact same stages of our pregnancies together.
In looking at this photo, the clouds look amazing in the background. The sky is gorgeous…and the Kentucky Blue Grass is so lush. My friend, Matt, also looks good! He is so sweet and I so appreciate the fact that he will spend the one-to-one time grazing me like this!
As for ME, I think I look pretty terrific in this picture! (Blush, Blush) My coat looks fabulous, my dapples are glowing and I do think my overall appearance is TOO CUTE!
I’ll keep you posted and updated on what I’m doing as we go along. I’m still very busy with my friends and all of my charity work! The other day Lane’s End told ME that I recently raised $8,500 for a charity named RIDING FOR HOPE. ($2,500 for one of my halters and $6,000 for a visit with ME!)
This organization is one that “is dedicated to improving the quality of life and the health of children and adults with special physical, cognitive, emotional and social needs through therapeutic activities with the horse”. **
I am so grateful to be able to HELP!
This concept of further developing your life in the midst of having a second career, in my case…having a baby, is quite gratifying! I am really trying to use my time wisely to help others and to do my very best to MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
With Love,
Hugs to All~

God Bless you Z, glad your are doing so well. Thank you John for making it possible to keep up with her. I have always loved horses but don’t get much opportunity to be around them. She is my sunshine. Thanks again.

I am a huge believer in the power of therapeutic horseback riding and equine assisted activities. It is great that you are supporting Riding For Hope.
For any of your fans in southern New Hampshire, Southeastern Vermont, or Northwestern Massachusetts, Miracles in Motion is a similar therapeutic riding program located in Keene, NH. Visit our website (www.mimnh.org) for more information on becoming a rider or volunteering.

Good for you Zenyatta!! I’m so proud of you and your efforts for those in need. I have worked for an organization that helps youngsters who have physical and mental disabilities. It’s a wonderful feeling to be able to help. Glad you’re feeling good, too. You look beautiful – as always.

Z – I doubt if you are only 3 months along that you are experiencing a “baby bump.” Don’t mislead your non-horsey fans! Me thinks you are just losing your “racing form” at this point, from leading a (well-deserved) life of leisure!
Sheri
I am so glad to hear how well you are doing Z! Thats amazing how much money you raised! People really love you! like me! Thats cool and so sweet and you and Tasty T were bred the same day! How cute! Love you Zenyatta and I cant wait for your next entry! :D
Marilu V
Hello Zeny again! Looks like 5 of us entered the first hellos simultaneously. Matt is so lucky. I wish I could share a day with Matt to take care of you. Hugs, Marilu

Hi Zenny! Sweetie you ARE filling out, in all the right places. I can definitely see your baby bump now, and you are positively glowing. You look happy and content. :) Your Mom must be so proud to have a young lady that works so hard to help others, while still pursuing a career (or 2). I look forward to your next update. You and your Mom take care.
