Good Morning,
This is so sweet! John was taking some photos and thought you would enjoy this one. At the Award Ceremony the other day, they gave Dottie a small ME and one of SECRETARIAT as her gift! I really think they did a great job! I really look like ME!
John decided he would try putting these images is some different settings! This shot is very special as I am in front of the Breeders’ Cup Trophy John received when I won the CLASSIC! Here I am with ‘ECLIPSE’! I must say, I do keep some fabulous company! I’m so fortunate!
I hope you enjoy the photo!
Several of you have asked about the Z pin and if Ann had any more details about it. Well, at this time, there is no further information. She and Dottie are having a meeting next week…and as soon as I hear any other details from them…I will share them with you!
I hope the weather is settling down wherever you live. It is cold here…but I really enjoy it now. I do like playing outside and in the ‘snow’. I must say, I really think I have acclimated beautifully to my new lifestyle!
Have a great day!
With Love,
Hugs to ALL~

link to Kentucky Horse farm webcam Judy mentioned, since it was hard to find. Well, for me at least! I went there a few years ago, fab. place to visit. I saw John Henry and lots of other famous horses. It’s an amazing place for a horse to retire to. http://www.kywebcams.com/index.php?cam=9

How fantastic it is to see your name in GOLD!! Such a wonderful award for a Champion such as yourself.
I am studying Equine Reproduction at the University of Arizona and it is so exciting to learn all the things that I’m sure are happening at Lane’s End as the breeding season is starting. In fact, I am on foal watch tonight! I’m going to be thinking of YOU Z when I see that itty bitty (150 lb) baby come out, and how were you ever that tiny? Sigh.. they grow up so fast :)

What a wonderful photo! Happy Valentine’s Day to you and your team…thanks for the love you’re sharing with all your fans! We appreciate it more than you know….

Hello beautiful girl. Just wanted to say how much I love that you are keeping up with all of your fans. There are too many of our favorite racehorses that we almost never hear from and I love knowing everyday almost I get to hear about what you are up to. :o)
Also seriously wondering if that miniture of you will ever be avail because as much as I love your Breyer it doesn’t capture you as well as that miniture does!
Hugs and kisses can’t wait to come see you again someday!
suew
Zenny…you are a creature of great beauty and to see it captured in a statue is very special. I imagine before long we will see a life size statue of you somewhere near a racetract because that is where you first captured our hearts.
God Bless John and Dottie for continuing to share so much of YOU with US. I am waiting for the day I can visit you in Ky.
Gloria Jeanne
I love the ” small ME” Zenyatta!!! I think we should all have one to love and remember you with. Maybe keep on our desks or bedside! I am thankful John and Dottie think of their fans and keep updating us with new and different images of you in different settings. I also think it’s Too Cute of you to be playing in the snow!! Sounds fun, I would love to join in, we could make Snow Zenny’s!!
Can’t wait for the Z pins to come out!!! Even though I know it was created special for Ann Moss, I think we would all like to share the Z experiance… Hats and T-Shirts are cool, but for “Us Girls” maybe something on the Girly side would be better?? Just a thought- Love whatever you decide to do- Thanks
Have a great day!! Hugs and Kisses
Rita Boucher
Happy Valentines Day Zenny and Team Z. For sure let us all know about the pin thing. Hugs to you too!!

ZENYATTA YOUR STATUE IS EVEN BETTER LOOING THAN THE AWARD. MAYBE THEY SHOULD USE YOU FOR A MODEL. JOHN HAS SO MUCH FUN WITH HIS CAMERA, WE ENJOY ALL HIS PHOTOS ALOT. TODAY IS SUNNY ABOUT 40, IT IS ALSO MY MORGAN GELDING, MAGNUMS 23RD. BIRTHDAY. HE IS THE OLD TYPE MORGAN, I OWNED HIS DAM, SHE WAS MY FIRST HORSE, HER NAME WAS BLACK MAGIC, YOU GUESSED IT SHE WAS BIG AND BLACK. SHE PASSED AWAY FROM A ATTACK OF COLIC. I STILL THINK OF THE SHOWS AND RIDES WE HAD. HOPE EVERYONE IS WELL, GOD BLESS, LOVE SHERRY D.

Monday is Valentine’s Day- I hope you get a “Specical Visit”. Maybe John, Mario, Steve and Jerry Moss could come and visit from a far – or maybe a Handsome someone from Kentucky can come over for “Kiss” from you :)
Love and Hugs
Shannon From Cool
Good going everyone.

There was a wonderful book about Eclipse that came out last year or the year before by Nicholas Clee. Eclipse used to scare off the competition, too, and for some races, he just had a “walk over” — he had to walk over the racecourse, being led (no competition)– the races were 4 + miles, across the English countryside.
Stephanie Howard
Does anyone on team Zenyatta watch Blinkers Off? You’ve gotta like the name Beyers Remorse for her foal eh? Brought a little smile to my face……
Love you Zenny-I’m so glad you love your new life!
Henrietta Wolfe
Good Friday to YOU!! I will say I have never seen a bad photo of YOU. How could there be, there couldn’t. I am glad you are have a good time outside. What fun it will be when spring gets here and there. John does such a great job with his photos. I love seeing as many as he has. I guess with football over we will have to shift to basketball. (*_*)Some great college games going on. Of course, there is golf. It is not quite fast or loud enough for me. (*_*)When I speak of fast I am talking about YOU. (*_*)YOU have a great weekend. I will be waiting to hear from you. I LOVE YOU ZENYATTA!!!! xoxoxoxo
Katie Clawson
That is a great picture! :D It is quite cold down here in Indiana also Z. I can’t wait for spring! Zenny, I have been dying to know when fans will be able to come visit you at Lanes End!! I want to see you again so badly! You looked amazing at Keeneland and I will be so happy when I actually get to touch you!
Have a great Valentines day! (I hope you get to chat with Bernardini) ;)
Love, Katie(future jockey)
Fran
Oh Z, you are so cute. It is nice and sunny here, but gets to freezing at night. The days are getting warmer. I like the small you next to the Eclipse! Have a wonderful day Z! xxoo

A nice sentiment but as CAM said, that’s not Eclipse. Eclipse is represented on your HOY Eclipse award. The Breeder’s Cup statue is quite different.

@Bridget,
I strongly doubt that LEF is going to even consider tours until after the breeding season. The breeding season will go from February until June.

Zenyatta,
Great mini me statue. Keep the pictures coming John. I bet you have thousands of photos. Keep warm and happy big girl. Love from Houston.
jeanie langford
Oh! The mini you is beautiful. Where do we order? Love pretty girl. Happy Friday. Any news on the big date. He had better send flowers, peppermints and carrots for Valentines.
Irene Caty
Hi Zenny,another good picture taken by John. Keep them coming. Today is Friday and the weather is beautiful here in S. California. It should make for a good week-end. Glad that you dont mind the weather too badly there and can have fun in the snow but i do know that you like the sunshine. Have fun Zenny and keep up the posts and pictures. Love you much.
Quarterhossgal
I have the mini you and am waiting for my poster of Queen Z and Secretariat, I also have the photo of Zen walking at Lane’s End with the ice coated trees in the background. My husband thinks it is easy to buy presents for me since Queen Z appeared in my life.
Thanks J. Smith for the address to see the webcams at the Kentucky Horse Park. I saw Cigar race his last race in Canada, He is one of my favorites. One of the people horses at the KHP is “Da Hoss”, he just loves attention and is such a kind gentle guy.
Marty
You are going to love Spring in Kentucky! It is almost here!
Love you
christine
dear zen,
Happy Valentines Day. I know you will not have your beer when you are with foal but do you have one now and then or is it too cold for a beer?
Jenna
TGIF! Thank you so much, Dottie, for John’s photo. It’s just adorable. He must be so proud of Z
It’s almost that time! It’s almost the end of the month. I think about every time I come on here, and I think ‘I wonder when?’
I hope Z had a fun day with Mike…I’m thinking the Mosses will be going down there soon, too, for the meeting with Bernardini.
Suzanne G
Hi Zenyatta,
Thanks for another great picture and great post. It’s always so much fun to find a new diary entry. Hope you enjoy Valentine’s day with lots of carrots and peppermints and games with your merry band of mares. Love and hugs to all the 4-legged and 2-legged Valentines in your world! SuzanneG
ps
@Judy Gadwood and @ J Smith — thanks for info on Kentucky Horse Park WebCam. Is there a time that might be better to see Cigar grazing–or anyone else for that matter? How did you know it was Cigar?
Trisha Veazey
Happy Valentine’s Day Gorgeous Zenyatta. Love, Hugs and Kisses to the Heart of our Hearts
