![]() Please tell me a Derby Trailer wrote this one as a joke:
Dearest Sweet, Sweet “Z”, We are together in your joy and sorrow, for there is “A Time for Everything”…Everything that happens in this world happens at the time God chooses. He sets the time for birth, and the time for death, the time for planting and the time for pulling up, the time for killing and the time for healing, the time for tearing down and the time for building. He sets the time for sorrow and the time for joy, the time for mourning and the time for dancing, the time for making love and the time for not making love, the time for kissing and the time for not kissing. He sets the time for finding and the time for losing, the time for saving and the time for throwing away, the time for tearing and the time for mending, the time for silence and the time for talk. He sets the time for love and the time for hate, the time for war and the time for peace. He has set the right time for for everything. The best we can do is be happy and do the best we can while we are still alive. All of us should eat and drink and enjoy what we have worked for, It is God’s Gift. Everything God does will last forever. You can’t add anything to it or take anything away from it. And one thing God does is to make us stand in awe of Him.” Ecclesiastes 4.1 You are our perfect “Z.”

![]() or this
What a sad day at our house. We love you so much and feel like you are part of our family, so unexpected bad news hurts our hearts. We woke up to an email alert from BloodHorse.com to which we subscribe, and I nearly dropped the laptop off my lap when I read their alert that says “Zenyatta, last year’s Horse of the Year for Jerry and Ann Moss, no longer in foal.” So like all teary eyed girls, I reached out to my girlfriends, who are as hooked on you as I am, so we could talk about it like we girls do, and feel better. Just for a second I thought – oh no here we go again with the bitter part of loving someone or something. Then I realized that here, on this blog, there would be people who reach out with hugs and well wishes, and where there would be healing. As I was logged on to this site, I thought – oh yes, I’m sure this news is going to bring out the monster in someone. And sure enough, evil raised it’s ugly head here but just as I know you are blessed, Zenyatta, and held in the Light daily by your connections, I know this blog is a sacred space that will leap over the negative to shine a positive beacon for us in our joys and sorrows. . Mother Nature is a force for Good, so we are holding on to that truth and looking forward to a little Zen at the perfect time. This reminds me of seeing you race. Dead last outta the gate. Around the last turn thinking – oh my God she’s not gonna make it – and then – WINNER! So here we are again with my heart sunken and worried and for no reason. This is Zen being Zen and winning in her own way while we all watch breathlessly. WINNER! . Love and a peaceful prayer to the tiny soul waiting for you in Horsey Heaven, Zen

JERRY HAD ENOUGH DEALING WITH THEM AT A&M. ZENYATTA DON’T NEED THIS. THE TURKS WANT HER TO RUN SO THEY CAN SUCK MORE MONEY OUT OF THE SYSTEM. NEXT THING YOU KNOW SHE’LL BE WEARING A BURKA.

![]() HAHA even the way people defend their insanity on that site is through more insanity. I almost just fell out of my chair on this one.
Sorry, normally I do not lower myself to respond to ignorant people who have yet to evolve. However, yes – Dottie is the spokesperson. Zenyatta herself is not speaking, in words. However, animals are intelligent, USE tools, are sentient, are capable of problem-solving, are far more aware than most people ever will be throughout their lives, and – if you know anything about a horse, and their wild instincts, you might know that a horse, like a cat, is the only domestic animal that can revert to the wild. This is not conjecture – these are scientifc, biological facts, that have been proven through many years of research, and the research continues to prove even more. Did you know that whales actually have individual names for each other, and they call each other, by their names, using a very complex mode? Do you know anything about the wild horse’s family mode – how important family and freedom are to them? Truly, I think Dottie is right on – and she can ascertain many things about Zenyatta, through their relationship. There is a mode of communication between people & animals, and THAT has been proven again, and again, and again. The people who post here, are compassionate, OPEN to further education, are a support system, and are the type of people others feel happy to have in their lives. Your negative comments are deplorable. As far as Rachel Alexandra goes – I am happy that she is still in foal. She was a tremendous race mare, and I am sure she will be a good dam….However, one just needs to go back and view her last year, ESPECIALLY her last race – and see the agony (boy, were the whites in her eyes prevalent) as Borel repeatedly hit her – to know that – the people responsible for her – treated her – pretty much the way your post goes….Oh – but I am sure you never noticed that. Actually, I feel really sorry for Rachel Alexandra. Her spirit was broken that last year. And, as far as people like you ( I would NEVER do a negative post on Rachel’s site – I have too much class) – I encourage you to – educate youself, grow up – stop the stupid, inane competition (there is room for many great ones), and above all – please realize that condescending comments, based on small thinking.. will never prevail. I thank you. I feel like I'm on the PETA site. |
