Zenyatta dancing in Apple Blossom post parade (4/9/10)

Zenyatta dancing in Apple Blossom post parade (4/9/10)
This is my original footage which has appeared in "The Huffington Report" as well as numerous video tributes to Zenyatta.
NOTE: If you don't like the sound, you are able to turn it off on your computer. Thanks.
This movie is part of a project I am making called "Desperately Seeking Zenyatta" (link: www.facebook.co....
It details my vacation to Hot Springs, Arkansas to see the Apple Blossom and Arkansas Derby horse races. I have been following and photographing the undefeated champion mare as she prepares for a bid to tie Citation and Cigar's unbeaten 16 win streak.
I am an artist and aspiring fiction and turf writer. I use my pictures as inspiration for drawings, paintings, and stories. I have been making art and writing stories since I was old enough to hold a pencil, and have been following horse racing for nearly as long. I grew up in the Louisville, KY area and the Kentucky Derby was a major event. I love all types of horses and horse sports, but Thoroughbred racing is my favorite. Zenyatta is my favorite horse still racing; other favorites are Ruffian, Forego, and Kelso.

To anyone that thinks horse racing is cruel to the horses watch Zenyatta she loves to run and race and she knows the difference when its just a workout or if a full on race time

[@danielleharrison5765]

I have Zenyatta and cosmic one Breyer horses who else has those too Breyers? Zenyatta my favorite race horse.

[@nettan75]

This is so awesome. My horse does this dance too when we're done working and it's funny cause she is pretty closely related to Zenyatta. :) Loved this clip, thanks for sharing.

[@debraenderle4737]

Moonwalker, you will be happy to know that Zenyatta taught all her best dance moves to her second son, Ziconic. He likes to get a bit of boogyin' in before he heads out for his daily gallop at Belmont. He's got his Mom's Boogie Shoes!

[@mariaweston5477]

A natural dancer!!

[@criketduke8401]

Zenyatta: Please find me a horse who can dance Zenyatta style.😍

[@sandhorse1]

She reminds me so much of Ruffian with those great looooong legs. She is quite the Charmer. Thrilling!

[@kwgrid]

Struttin' her stuff! ^_^ ♥

[@Lindalouise333]

Does anyone know anything about Zenyatta's beautiful pony who accompanied her?

[@jackj5368]

She was a beaut.

[@txhorsefan]

Thanks for posting the video of post parade dancing. We were stuck in infield behind the white blossomed trees and couldn't see all of it. :)

[@wagkatstable]

It's much better with the volume OFF

[@runaway1517]

She's so beautiful !

[@danielleharrison5765]

Yes she is

[@SthrnRaine]

Thanks so much for sharing moonwalker. I love the enthusiasm.

[@Blondiss22]

You ladies are hysterical!!!

[@moviesforrandy]

@wagkatstable i agree. what if you had to lisen to that drunk day after day.

[@Alybbyful]

@paradoxicus eso si!!!! pero me encanta su estilo de ser!! una maravilla!

[@21Sarabi]

I love how she has her neck arched like Citation did.

[@sxyfaye]

aww how cute she wants to be a dressage horse in stead :) Stunning Mare x

[@MJLallo]

Love it---good luck with your project--Zenyatta--the BEST!

[@8mmoore1]

She is the dancing queen, and will be always. M.

[@danylson10]

awesome

[@mousepd]

LOL! " I'm like, seriously, don't touch me please!!" was she talking about herself or Zenyatta?

[@paradoxicus]

La gran ZENYATTA,no canta porque no la enseñan.¡Unica!.

[@karichards78]

Great dressage moves. Can you get rid of the audio?

[@zahimiyaacob8369]

Slm good lucs from me Zahimi Yaacob Zahnita i miss u.

[@ucaplaya]

You must have been standing right beside me.

[@moonwalker424]

@ucaplaya I was nearby... I saw myself in your video, LOL!

[@abbeyshoe]

@queenluciaa I welcome all the fans we can get these days.

[@BirgettaJohnson_LetsTalkAJR]

Hello, I'm making a montage video for an editing class. Would it be okay if I used a clip from this video?

[@MysweetAnnabelle53]

@horshooer lol, that's what i want to know!

[@Cheesekake343]

Does she do that on her own or was she trained to do that? lol Its cute either way!

[@abbeyshoe]

@ashleycolemobilefone We need fans of all kinds. Racing is being beaten up by outside factors.

[@Soccertz1]

@dancingbrave24 uh....No but these ladies where very excited weren't they! Make yourself seem just a little smarter and don't generalize. You have just the same amount of Americans who don't say a word and are calm. This video in my opinion is just pure excitement......annoying to me but you can't blame them......Zenyatta is a very special horse. It's not all about her wins ....they or more like "we" love her personality and spunk. Btw where are you from?

[@bubblinbrownsugar616]

She's the Britney Spears of Horse dancing!!!! Big ole showoff!!!! LOLOLOL!!!

[@ALYnAPACHE]

so sad that the classic is her last race....

[@bubblinbrownsugar616]

@bbear1994 LMAO!! LMAO!! Hell yeah!!!!

[@11greenlantern]

I heard from someone who is a horse trainer, that the Horse is not dancing just loaded up on anabolics.

[@maureenmoloney6698]

Look at her tongue -this is a classic sign of distress.

[@kwgrid]

Her tongue is tied out.

[@nsecchi7811]

Get real. It's because of the bit in her mouth.

[@kzanika]

This horse is not dancing, she has a condition called tying up! No one cares though as long as the fans are happy and the money is pouring in. I hope she does not end up lame or put to sleep! Damn greed! What a beautiful animal.

[@Highroadgypsies]

People who race horses the epitome of slavers. Zenyatta is not prancing from joy, she is trying to get her tongue out and over the bit and chain in her mouth. She can barely breathe, can't you tell that she is in distress? She is not collected while she walks, this is not fun and she is not dancing as you put it. Horses don't let their tongues loll out of their mouth while they are playing, they are not dogs! This is scientifically showing that Zenyatta is not breathing properly.
