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.

after learning vic was to become a steward..she could not bring a foal into this world..

From the article:

"Word of the development was first posted on zenyatta.com, a website that maintains a diary purported to be written by the mare"


I am confused. Zenyatta hasn't been writing this?

Say it isn't so Gene........What's next? Someone is going to say that wrestling is not real?

Please, please let this thread end.

Those diary posts explain homosexual behavior among men.

I was thinking more along the lines of homocidal, but yeah, that works.

And yes Theatrical, I know I misspelled homicidal, above.

:D

OMG coach, this is great stuff.

:tro::tro:

Fine, fine work.

What Would BARBARO Do? said:

OMG, I’m so sorry Zenniegirl. It wasn’t in the stars. I will light some candles for you and set up a prayer virgil. I will fast until you become with child. The lord who took BARBARO away from us is sometimes unjust, but he works in strange ways. Now, I believe that BARBARO was meant to be the horsie-husband of Zennie. Why else would he take away this foal. Bernardi was the winner in the Preekness, ONLY because BARBARO lost his life under suspicious cirscumstances. The Mooses should breed Zennie to LENTENOR or NICANOR, then she would be in foal immediately. This needs to be done.

Hey Zen! I’ve been doing lots of planning the past few weeks and my absence had to be on your mind. It’s ok! Rest assured that I have enough food and water to survive 36 months in case everything falls apart! And just remember that if things get perilous in your neck of the woods that all you have to do is close your eyes and neigh three times and I will enter your mind and guide you to Fort Lacie!! T.I.C.!

I probably should have avoided the temptation to post on this topic but anyway....I completely understand why folks think the "love affair" among hardcore fans of Zenyatta is over the top...probably is. But the posts on a board dedicated to her cause nobody any harm, why attack people who feel a deep personal connection to the horse? It's not as if this "lovefest" is taking up space here. In the entire time I've been on-line, I have been banned from one board, that was a board comprised of lovers of Secretariat. Now I love Secretariat myself, considering him the greatest ever but I found myself defending another poster who came to the board and "dared" to question whether Secretariat was greater than Man O War, this poster (handle was Dragon something on the ESPN board was in actuality a 12 year old girl, in all her posts she demonstrated a knowledge and intellect far beyond her years and never was disrespectful. I felt that the attacks on her, some very ugly, were uncalled for and tried to defend her right to at least ask a question...we were both banned. While I would do the same today,I recognized that on a board dedicated to Secretariat, folks would not accept anything that varied from their views...and what the hell? Who are they hurting? They may be closed minded, they may be intolerant but it's their space. Seems useless to make fun of them here...especially when there are posters here like me to ridicule for different points of view.

It's all about you. You go girl.

Last time I checked, still a man. Like I said the response to my post is predictable. Everytime I post some respond with "it's all about you" or "your arrogant, holier than thou" etc. Basically, I remember the old days on the ESPN board, every so often, we would be invaded by trolls who basically shut down the board. No way to keep them off a public board. That was the main reason many of us were happy to be invited to this board where at least we weren't subject to such invasions. There are many topics of interest that are discussed here, some interest me, some don't and I suspect everyone can say the same. My question is why bother with what folks on another board are saying? Does it seem off the wall that folks are responding to a horse? Sure, but so what?

I don't even know where to begin.

:D

Useless?
I can think of few who deserve it more than people who post that kind of nonsense.

Maybe you are impowered with the ability to judge others and decide what folks deserve...I just don't see what is gained except giving some folks a warm fuzzy by thinking they are better than those who act differently. If that is the purpose then I guess that's fine.

You'll never get it. People get picked on because they're crazy. That site is a virtual insane asylum.

Wait, Bullwinkle owns Zenyatta? This is breaking news.

Don't you think there is a reason people respond that way? You're preaching is too much and you make everything about how special and enlightened you are. Great, no one cares. My question is, after how much preaching are you going to realize no one wants it?

It's funny that people talk to a horse online as if she is really responding. That's it.

Now that you mention it....yeah, I do feel empowered to determine what treatment others deserve from me. Who else would decide such a thing?
Do I think I'm "better" than some of the people posting on that site? Yes, yes I do.

Seems funny to me, I simply state my opinion and because you disagree, I'm acting like I'm "special, enlightened" while you state your opinion and that's somehow different. Also, who is the arrogant one here? Me or you for thinking you speak for the entire board...might surprise you to know there are actually some folks here who agree with me. But then, it's easier to dismiss someone with personal comments than to respond to what they post

Well, at least you are honest.

I responded to what you posted. I told you no one (I should have said 99.9% of the board, my bad) wants to be preached to. We get it, you're better than us all. Whatever.

If I act like you in 30 years I'm throwing myself in front of a train.

Probably the person who is basically saying:

I'm better than all of you because you keep acting like you're better than all of them.

And how exactly do I do that? By simply stating my opinion which often times is different than those who deem it necessary to respond with personal attacks. My opinions are no better or worse than the next guy's... because I may see something differently than somebody else doesn't make me act like I'm somehow "better".

Well, you asked the question about who was being arrogant.
I answered it.

Actually....they are:

I miss the days when having beer and ice cream named after your horse were enough.

Excellent point.

I'm embarrassed to think how over the top I thought people were going over Funny Cide.

I hate to be the one to break it to ya.....

This one is obviously a spoof. Okay, DTers, which one of you did this? An excellent job, especially the typos and generous use of capitalizations, but the "I will fast until you become with child" was a bit of a giveaway.

I would expect Coach to find a visual for the post. Something like:

See? Like I said.

A people award goes to a horse...

perhaps some members of the RCI are also posting over at Z-tard central?

Zenyatta should be given the job of expanding horse racing's presence in the media, after all, she brings fans in droves. But why stop there with such a talent, she should be made Horse Racing Czar.
