Z's Diary

Diary Post #323

It's BATH TIME! Photo by Sarah Campion

Happy Friday!

I hope all of you are making some fun plans for the weekend. I am! This morning I had the most relaxing time. Not only did I have a very cool and refreshing BATH, but I also got to play in the water with my guys! It felt terrific!

As you can see, it is a very pretty morning in Lexington. Lane’s End is such a beautiful place to live. I am really enjoying myself.

Sarah took these photos this morning so you could get a chance to see ME as I am at this very moment. I’m doing everything just as a should….as an expectant MOM…. and I am really starting to have that ‘IN FOAL’ look.

Baby-to-be and I are doing GREAT! Everyone is so gracious to ME! My dear paddock pal, Tasty Temptation, and I are enjoying every single moment of this attention. I must say…I really feel SO PAMPERED and LOVED. LUCKY ME!

Gotta' love those SUDS!

This weekend, as has been the case often this summer, both Del Mar and Saratoga are featuring some very competitive Grade 1 races. This time for 3 year old fillies….one on the main track and one on the dirt. Other race tracks are also offering some terrific races. I hope you have a great time handicapping and enjoying our SPORT!

With Love,
Hugs to All~
Z

    @quarterhossgal-Hope your priest enjoys the joke. @Barbara Wood-Thanks for the info on The Carpenters. They were big time in their day, which was also mine. @Lisa g-Interesting info on Waylon Jennings. Terrific voice, good showman. Unfortunately for him and the rest of us, had personal problems. Was always my favorite “country” performer. Glad you enjoyed the joke. @Judy Berube-Thanks for the link to Chester and Denise in AZ’s little filly. Denise in AZ-Great pictures. You have your hands full. @Sharon Call-Me, too. @Susan in TN–After seeing the pictures, Chester IS my kind of guy. Wish I had room for him.

    You look absolutely gorgeous Zenyatta and you are going to be such a wonderful mama. Each and every day I think of you and those thoughts help me get through my trying health problems that I am having to go through at the current time. You make me smile and give me hope. So happy that you are doing so well. You are very special to me. You sparkle and shine brighter than any star up above. I love you lots. Sending my love and blessings to you and your precious little unborn baby.

    @Sue Fredrick, Baby Bump is around 5-6 pounds now. Here is a link to a timeline of fetal development. It’s been posted several times before, but I’m reposting so we don’t have to go hunting for the link. She is at 140 days now, and will be at 150 at the end of the month. Enjoy!
    http://www.avenir-farm.com/#/fetal-development/4538605999
    She is due March 7, 2012, based on a 340-day pregnancy. Note that horses can go anywhere from 320 days to over a year. She could foal as early as mid-February or as late as the beginning of April.

    @judy berube–thanks for the Overdriven link. Hoping it’s something that can be fixed without much fuss. Do they use chiropractors? Acupuncture? Both are in use down here.
    @the Kennedys–love the stories of Z’s Happy Hour.
    @Terry Crow–I agree that the “5 gentlemen” visit our house regularly. Loved the joke.
    Praying for safe trips for all this weekend.

    Zenyatta–you are still the most beautiful horse in the land!!! Love the photos of the bath! So glad to hear you are doing great. Also glad JUDY B posted the link to Bernardini being chosen as Zenny’s first partner. Had never seen him up close before and he is an incredible looking stallion–he’s got it the way Zenny has–class, class and more class. Hope everyone going to the Alabama will have fun! I am not going to the Travers but will probably be going to a horse rescue seminar in Arlington VA in September. If any of you are going, please let me know–would be nice to say hello!!!!
    I love you more than ever, Zenyatta!!!

    @ Judy B Loved the link on Bernie. He’s got such slender legs I wonder how they can support those huge hindquarters. He’s such a magnificent stallion it boggles the mind what the foal is going be like.
    Vic enjoys her lessons and is hoping that she will be able to do a beginners dressage competition next year, hooves crossed. Hugs to you too.

    You are the sunshine of my day Z; so pleased to see you “in foul”. You are a beautiful mom to be as you have always been so stunningly awesome. Today I enjoyed myself getting wet at the lake but had no suds. Sat. I think I will see my grandkids for a while. I am a play gramma, so I’ll be tired but it will be fun and worth it. Wish I could play with you too. love with 2 kisses on your soft nose, one for baby Z

    Good for Vic. That’s wonderful. Bernie is absolutely gorgeous. Have a great time at the Spa. Z’s Dad, Street Cry has a two year old colt, B Shanny, going in the 6th Maiden Special Weight. Should be good value. Hugs, J.B.

    Good evening there, Bathing Beauty
    what a chubby girl you’re getting to be. :) Your legs actually starting to look short :)
    Thank you Sarah for the **** pictures.
    We had a helluva storm last night, was busy most of the day clearing branches off the roof, and dangling in the tree.
    And now another lofty pondering for your straw time reading:
    “The world holds two classes of men-
    intelligent men without religion,
    and religious men without intelligence”.
    Abu Ala Al-Ma’arri
    Rest peacefully & dream sweet

    Dear Zenny,
    Your svelte racing body is gone, but you look
    Beautiful “in foal”. Your body is so long seems
    Like there is plenty of room to grow that “baby
    Bump”. Thanks Sarah for the pics of Zenny being
    So well cared for at LE. The guys look the are having
    A blast bathing you and of course you are posing.
    Are you running slower these days and rolling around
    Less. Have a great night and enjoy the races.
    XXXOOO

    Yes the have all those specialties for equines.
    Overdriven has a ligament issue that will probably
    Have to be treated with rest. Sounds like TP started
    Him back too soon admittedly.
    @Z Fans
    Thanks for all the great links.
    @Laura J
    Read an article earlier this week BL is going to
    Pacific Classic. Good Luck to HDG in Woodward against
    The boys.

    Bernie has very TB legs. Long and slender
    And delicate. He is a very well put together
    Individual and seems to stamp his offspring
    With his gorgeous head. That is what I really
    Love so much about “E”. She has a softness
    About her, whereas Z is wholesome like her
    Street Cry.
