Beautiful pics!!! How I miss her. Can't wait for next spring for a little queen or king. She truly looks happy and content - and that's the most important thing. I wonder if she misses all of us? Zenyatta, you, are the BEST!!!

Thanks so much, Mathea, for sharing with us your beautiful photos of our beautiful Zenyatta. She is always a such a joy to behold. She looks so sublimely peaceful and content! Your photos are such good news about how she is doing.

Wow. It does my heart so much good to see Zenyatta peaceful and happy in her new life. I was worried about what she would think of retirement because she was such a people person in her racing days. But she looks right at home. Very peaceful and content. Bless God.

Had 10 minutes with Rachel Alexandra in mid May thanks to a friend and she looked wonderfully peaceful and content too. And wonderfully pregnant. I kissed her nose and thanked her for everything. It was so unbelievably kind of the Stonestreet folks to let us have a visit with her considering it was only one month after the death of Jess Jackson and you can completely understand why they may not want to be bothered at such a sad time. Have pics that I don't know how to show you unless you write to me at secretgarden@trans-video.net

One thing though. When I bring up this blog page for Zenyatta with Netscape I see two pictures; first a head shot, then a full body shot of her grazing that is taken not quite head on. I can't tell if it's the angle or what, but in that full body shot her near side rear ankle looks like it might be a little stocked up. What does it look like to you if you can see it? Then when I brought up the page with Explorer that second full body shot is not coming up for me though the same caption "Order this Photo. Photo by Mathea Kelley" appears twice, the second one without a corresponding picture. Clicking the order link does show a very small version of that picture but it it might be too small to see what I am talking about. I have hit refresh a few times but I can't get that body shot to come up on Explorer.

Anyway, *IF* she is a little stocked up up, I don't remember Zenayatta being stocked up previously. Does anyone know if that can happen with pregnancy?

Did you take any photos of her pasture mate Pirate Queen? Would love to see them if you did since she is in foal to Quality Road. Thanks a lot and hope to hear back from you.

So great to see the Queen reigning over the farm, glorious summer dapples appearing. There are wonderful horses on the track now that we are following but we still need our regular hit of Zenyatta!

The photos are lovely, Mathea! She's looking good and finally beginning to lose her racing belly. Is there any chance of catching up with Rachel, Treaty of Versailles, and Ashado?

THANK YOU!! I am glad to see the "conformation" shot, to see how well the baby bump had progressed. Keep us informed!
