Zenyatta Holiday Shopping

A few of the items available from the Zenyatta Shop

Happy Thursday!

For those of you late-running holiday shoppers, the Zenyatta Shop can still put you in the winners circle for the holidays. All Zenyatta Shop domestic orders (except personalized items) placed prior to Wednesday 12/19 will be delivered in time for Christmas. We can even accommodate purchases placed before 12/21 with overnight delivery. Let Zenyatta take the worry out of gift-giving and have the happiest of holidays this year!

We’d also like to note that Zenyatta Collectors who purchased the now sold-out limited edition Breyer Glossy Foal at the Zenyatta Shop are proving to be savvy investors. These very special foals are now selling on the secondary market for prices as high as $200 each. That’s an amazing eight-fold return on the initial offering price in only two months! For those of you interested in our other limited edition keepsakes, we wanted to give fair warning we have less than 30 pieces of the Zenyatta Plushie left in stock, and the Little Zen pewter figurines are going fast with very few remaining pieces left in the golden version of the edition. Don’t get left at the gate if you want one of these coveted Zenyatta collectibles!

Edit: These items are no longer available. January 2013.

      Karen,
      Thank you for sharing that w/ us.
      Cee Lo was holding the name of a little girl. She adored horses and wanted boots and a cowgirl hat for X-mas.
      I hope she rides forever. Giddy up little cowgirl.

      I am sad Cee Lo Green and Christina are leaving the Voice next year.
      They are such wonderful singers and entertainers, wish them both
      the best and hope to see them again in the future.

      A wonderful Tribute to Newton !!!

    THIS IS A REPOST OF THE LINK FOR VOTING ON RACINGS-MOMENT- OF-THE YEAR.

    http://www.ntra.com/en/news-media/press-releases/2012/12/13/fans-again-voting-on-racings-moment-of-the-year/

    Since this is Zenyatta’s site and she represents everything a successful, determined and winning female, either equine or human, should be. It only seems fitting that a vote be cast for:

    ROSIE NAPROVNIK, THE FIRST FEMALE JOCKEY TO THE KY OAKS.

    GO ROSIE, GO ROSIE, love your riding skills and horsemanship, it is tops, you emulate
    a human Zenyatta.

      I’m so confused with all of these posts on different pages, but did you mean the poem from Trina? (That’s the only one I’ve seen).

      In any event, Happy Birthday Abigail!
      Sandy

    i’m so confused where to go for the latest posts.

    Abigail in Montreal and Celeste in TX, I hope you each had a very happy birthday. Two more masterpieces from Trina, as well.

    Janet, Thank you for the enjoyable Christmas card and a very Merry Christmas to you and best wishes for a wonderful new year.

    Weren’t those videos of Zenyatta and 12Z a great surprise?

    I have more catching up to do in here. Hope everyone can take a breath and ease on into your holiday season celebrations. (I think ours could include some snow removal). Still have cookies to bake to share with the neighbors. It now comes down to time management.

      Dear Marty R,

      Have a wonderful holiday, it is confusing. Try and check both Ann and Jerry’s visit and this one as people seem to be posting randomly both places.

      Marty,
      I am confused with you.
      Folks are posting here & on the Ann/Zenyatta photo site.
      For example: Wondered where KathyR & sheena were–they were here.
      Hard to keep track right now.
      Hugs, Keta

        Dear Keta: I’m blaming the confusion on the distinct lack of a white Christmas down here. But glad I’m not the only one befuddled. Hugs. KathyR.

    Dear Marty R: Will swap some of our sun for some of your snow please. And will exchange prawns (shrimp I think some of you folk call them) for some of those cookies. Hugs. KathyR.

      Dear Kathy R,
      Oh yes, prawns, we have both shrimp and prawns. Great at this time of year.

    Dear Zenny fans, Dumplings and All,

    Do not look forward to what may happen
    tomorrow; the same everlasting Father who
    care of you today will take care of you tomorrow and
    every day. Either He will shield you from suffering,
    or He will give you unfailing strength to bear it.

    Be at peace, then. Put aside all anxious thoughts and
    imaginations, and say continually: “The Lord is my
    strenght and my shield. Our hearts have trusted in Him
    and we are helped. He is not only with us but in us, and
    and us in him.
    Amen

    May the joys of the season be upon you as Christmas approaches.

    Belated Happy Birthday to Celeste in Texas! December 18th must have been a booming baby day – you, Abigail, and one of my best friends here on the “north coast.”

    Rednecks of Z Family fame! Gus has written his Christmas list, and I think you’ll like it. :-)

    Here is Gus (from SHERR) and this is his Christmas wish. Can you help and be his secret Santa?

    http://t.co/0HcH1tQZ

    I received my financial package, and I need to start looking at payment options. This is probably more time consuming than it is worth, but my college is important to me, so I am glad to spend the time. Because of this, and cooking for family, I’ll be gone until way after Christmas; probably late January. So I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and a fantastic New Year! I’m very fortunate to have met everyone here that I now recognize as my Z family; even you who do not post very often. Thank you all for supporting me and my crazy dreams, and for supporting SHERR. It makes me so happy to see the SHERR family happy and healty. I hope Santa is kind to everyone and makes your dreams come true regardless of what they might be. Blessings to Z, Z12, Z13, and Lanes End. I hope one day to own and operate a farm as amazing and successful as yours. You are the model standard, and rightfully so.

    So I bid you adue until the morning hue that January morning breaks the cold, relentless wind, and we are there to witnes the miracle of new life.

      Dear Abigail,

      You have captures so many special moments in TB racing over many years, with some
      of the Greats, their human companions, trainers and owners. This photo album
      is so very precious and touching. What a wonderful season’s greeting for all of us.

      IT REPRESENTS THE STRENGTH OF TB RACING, BREEDING, FRIENDSHIPS/SPECIAL RELATIONSHIPS.

      Thanks for putting this all together and posting it here.

    Z dumpling Judy Berube and Papa Charlie.

    Barbara Livingston

    A very happy ending for a beautiful chestnut horse named PAPA CHARLIE, whom Tom Keyser followed from the horse’s birth through his career (in part through the amazing photography of Philip Kamrass). Because of Tom’s story, and the careful watch of a fan named Judy Berube, Papa Charlie now has a loving home with new owner Angela Baxter.

    THANK YOU to everyone involved in assuring this horse has a chance for a long, happy life…. I watched him being born, as a yearling, and at the track. He was wonderful and kind and curious and beautiful at each stage.

      Karen,

      That is such a wonderful article. I have read so
      much about Papa Charlie and so loved all the pictures.
      It is nice to see pictures of him and so very glad
      you followed him all these years. Secretariat was one beauty
      I fell in love with during his tripe crown run and is always dear to my heart.
      So glad a great-grandson is in a happy home.
      When you see Pap Charlie give him a big hug from me.

      Hugs to you too!
      Janet

        Oops, was not paying attention!
        Hope Miss Judy will give him a hug fro me.
        I still thank-you for the post Karen G,

    Dear Janet, I am sure Karen would love to give Papa Charlie a hug, but Karen hangs out in Long Beach, CA, and Papa Charlie is an East Coast boy, as is his guardian angel, Judy Berube, in Rhode Island. I am sure Judy will be delighted to give Papa Charlie a huge hug from you. Hugz, Trina

      Yes, Especially Horses.

      That is the problem with Facebook, anyone can make up a name and
      pretend to be someone and make up things that are not true or
      fictious AS THE ABOVE INFORMATION WAS ON “E” FACEBOOK PAGE.
      And I am not surprised that John Sherriffs is not happy about
      it as he is a very honest, authentic straight forward and direct person. To have these things revealed about “E” that may not be true.

      SO TRINA , the light has finally gone on, facebook is not a good medium
      of communication is it ?? ESPECIALLY WHEN JOHN SHERRIFF’S IS NOT HAPPY !!!!

    Dear GS,

    HERE IS SOME MORE OF YOUR FUNNY GIGGLES ABOUT “E” FACEBOOK PAGE,

    It is not offical and does not come from John or the barn.He is not happy about it.

    Ahha! Ok I get it now….So Sign, when you wrote “Sounds just like what John said in his article ???”… that was a reference to “this isn’t original, but “lifted” from an interview John gave”.

    So a bit of plagiarism going on here and even disregard of the desire of the trainer to not publish unauthorized and maybe misleading information.

    Dear Maureen P in Santa Barbara,

    Thank you so much for commenting on the facebook quotes copied into
    this blog. For some reason those on this site do not realize that
    facebook is a medium for plagerism, inaccuracies and fictitious information.
    There are people who use the medium to manipulate their desires, wishes,
    to make them come true and to mislead others when it only creates fiction, dissatisfaction and disrespect to those who are actually involved as you pointed out.

    Thanks so much for your candid comments.

    Dear Zenny Fans, Dumplings and All,

    Thank you, Lord, for being there for us in our times of need.

    Thank you, Lord, for taking the time to listen to us and care about what we have say.
    Lord, there are things happening around us that are difficult to understand, this makes us feel vulnerable.

    Even in the midst of this confusion, we know that you are the Lord.

    We know all situations are in Your hand, and we trust you. We ask you for strength
    and wisdom to endure these confusing, difficult situations and the ability to handle
    their emotional impact on us and others in a way that would bring glory to
    Your name.

    In Jesus name, Amen.

    Wishing everyone a safe, prosperous and Merry Holiday.
