It was probably purely unintentional and commensurate with the time of day, but I found something very moving about the shadow which accompanies Ebby throughout this video. Whether running alongside or directly in front of her, the image is always just a step ahead. It seems to represent the enormous presence of Zenyatta which is still very much alive, and the legend which Ebby will be forever chasing. It is a gift to be allowed to follow her career from the very beginning. Godspeed, Ebby.
What a fabulous ride on Ebby - So exciting. Cannot wait to see her first race. She is just as gorgeous as her sister. Thanks to all of you at Barn 55 and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Have a wonderful opening day at Santa Anita!!!
Great stuff as usual John. I wonder if it is possible to point the camera a little more upward so that we can get a little of the horizon and not so much dirt and flying mane. Just an idea. Thanks for these videos.
I love this , you make my heart smile, I see other videos of rides but yours John are the most special, yours make me smile smile smile, they are such a bright spot in my life, thank you sooooooo much xoxoxoxo from Maine
LOL, I agree on the cotton in her ears. Do they EVER take it out? I can understand the purpose for before a big race, paddock schooling etc, but why the 24/7 cotton?
Thank you John for posting this. We're so excited here in Pimlico Md awaiting her first start. While I was unable to walk to see Zenny in your barn, I bought a collapseable chair to take on the plane so when I get to the barn I can sit at any time.
What a nice way to start the morning....coffee and a Barn 55 video! I hope you realize that many of us that used to own (and ride) horses and mules are riding vicariously through these helmet cam videos of yours; what a wonderful feeling. Thank you, and Happy Holidays to all of Barn 55, both 2-legged and 4-legged!
Happy New Year to John, Dottie and all of Barn 55!!

nobledancer1: Good point and something I didn't think about. Great insight on the symbolism associated with the shadow.

The cotton keeps the bugs out of the ears!! Nothing unhappier than a horse with flies or knats in their ears............

@Retrospectiv Could have something to do with the huge passenger jets passing 150 feet overhead 24/7.

She sure pays attention to whats going on around her. Not sure she really appreciated the cotton in her ears
