Zenyatta at the Farm!

Wednesday December 22 2010

The Bloodhorse and Lane's End Farm - Zenyatta's new home - were kind enough to create and publish this video of Zenyatta in the snow in her paddock. (Thanks Karen W for passing this on!)

Zenyatta still makes me weep!

  2. I didn't cry this time, but my heart was racing with excitement watching her run. I could watch her run at liberty like that, all day long. I hope they allow her to spend more time outside than just that short video, though.

    She was having such fun! All her little bucks. So cute! I loved how she carries her tail flagged like a free-spirited Arabian. Wheee!
    And she made me laugh towards the end when she was being led out. She reminded me of a Pacing horse the way she was stretching her legs so far forward. She's gorgeous!

    And I was laughing at the way her entourage acted like a bunch of groupies ready to do Zenyatta's bidding....Gourmet mineral water, Miss Z? Some petting, Miss Z? A truckload of carrots, Miss Z?
    lol!

    She's living a luxurious life in her retirement, that's for sure. Wish all race horses had this to look forward to.

  4. Yes Zayetta is a magnificent horse!
    Brings tears to my eyes too.
    In Australia we had the pleasure of seeing another beauty, "Americain",(USA trained). winner of our Melbourne Cup.A race for three-year-olds and over, over a distance of 3,200 metres.
    i could go on Makybe Diva, & Viewed also great horses.
    Happy Christmas.

  5. Brought a tear to my eye when she started running. I was afraid "turnout" was just going to be walked around on a lead. She was having a grand time out there!

  6. PS: Merri, you asked, "What is a spike?" A spike is a young (usually 1 - 2 years) bull elk or buck deer with a set of unbranched antlers. After the first year or two, the antlers usually branch or fork with multiple tines growing out from a main beam.

  7. She is a special and beautiful horse. I love her attitude and personality. I'm glad they let her off the lead to have a romp.

    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
