I think they should allow only Zenyatta to enter the Classic let her run around the track and give her horse of the year.
This would give her faithful a stronger case for winning it than last year and the Mosses won't have to lobby as much for it.

Really, there is too much of this going on for my taste. Look, I'm a guy who admits to giving my dogs a smooch on the head now and then, and my love for the horses is what brought me to this sport. But this bit with horses "posting" on their facebook page is over the top. I try to ignore it. I'm also a fan that enjoys visiting retired horses at the farms. But I enjoy that and admire them for what they are, and I feel that attempts to humanize them, particularly with cutesy-talk, somehow diminishes that. Yes, they have personalities, and they are individuals, but they are horses. Admire them for being great horses.

I just wish someone would talk to Shackleford about his excessive use of the em dash in his status updates.

Some people think this is good but I don't think so. As many people that might attend some of the stuff, I bet that most of them were already going to be there. Are new fans really going to be coming in just for this? On the other side, I think that it will help keep some fans away. I know that if I was on the fringe about going, I wouldn't go now cause those people irritate me. Honestly, after some of the stuff I read on that Zenyatta webpage, I'd really be worried about being physically harmed by her fans if I didn't wear a Zenyatta button or ribbon or something. Don't get me wrong. I can handle one or two 12yo girls with no problem but 15-20 of them might hurt me.

Please don't misinterpret my question and assume I am somehow defending the Mosses... I just want to know...
What would you do if you were them? You have this horse with a multitude of fans and these fans want to know eevverrrryyythinggg. You want to come up with some charitable idea and I'd guess away from home to give other fans a chance to interact or whatever (shut up I know how iliterate i sound right now  )...What would you do?

I'd fly her up to Pike's Peak to do a meet and greet with her fans.

The only thing missing is a face-painting booth.

as for what i'd do if i had a horse that everyone wanted to pester...i'd probably arrange for days people could see her at the farm, since many farms don't showcase the mares. keeping her racing a bit longer would have been an acceptable move-she hadn't shown any sign of losing her ability when they chose to send her to ky.
