Great article about Zenyatta. Jerry and Ann Moss and John and Dottie have been simply outstanting to share Z with all of her fans. Allowing everyone to take pictures, feed her, and to simply touch her has been so very touching. When, in past history, has this happened? Thank you to all of Z’s connections for allowing Z to have so much fun with her public. She is definitely the Queen!

Sounds a bit like a boring life after such excitement on the track. I would hope that being a broodmare could be combined with a second riding career.

I wish she could have stayed in the Shiriff barn and been with her “human family”. She knows no other home, and I worry about her. She has done so much for everyone, couldn’t she have just stayed in CA and lived there? Being a broodmare doesn’t seem like the way Zenyatta should spend the rest of her life. I believe she doesn’t realize she is a horse since she’s had such wonderful life being a part of the “team”. Will anyone be able to know if she is happy back there? It is such a change for her. I love the Mosses and the rest of the Zenyatta team and know they will do everything they can to give her a wonderful life. But I just think she will wonder why they left her there….and I think that’s sad. I hope they watch her carefully, as she is used to Mario and the rest and I can’t help but think she will have trouble adjusting. I hope they consider bringing her back, at least once she has her off foal.

zenyatta can pass on her athleticism to future thoroughbreds? for what – so eventually one of them can break down on a track and suffer and be euthanized or wind up in a slaughterhouse in Mexico. It’s a sick, sick, disgusting sport for rich people to make more money from and anyone who supports it in any form should suffer the same fate as most of those poor horses. From park to plate….

I have never been much a horse fan, that is until I started reading and following Zenyatta’s story. I have to say that she has taken my breath away. I see her on television and I just start to cry. I have taken pictures of her off the internet and have them pasted throughout my home. Zenyatta is so smart and such a beautiful animal. I will miss reading about her and her next races to come. It does me a little sad, but to me she will always be a winner.

Beautiful Zenyatta! After 3 years of spectacular racing, she retires safe and sound to leisurely pastures and a warm barn (with a masseuse). I have mares and I know they LOVE to be pregnant. It’s a shame to see mares and stallions used as breeding animals when their careers have ended because they have broken down. Zenyatta can pass on her own genetic soundness and athleticism to future thoroughbreds. This is not greed or cruelty. Zenyatta will finally have a chance to “be a horse.”
