They are both once in a lifetime horses. I feel like no horse will ever make me feel like the two of them did ever again. I cried like a baby whenever the two of them won races and I couldn't fight tears when I stood in front of Zenyatta the morning after Breeders' Cup last year. I feel honored to have witnessed their careers!
Beautifully written! I've had the pleasure of meeting Zenyatta (though I did not get to touch her) and I know how wonderfully overwhelming that feeling is. I haven't had the pleasure of meeting gorgeous Rachel, but I hope to in the future. She truly is one amazing horse! I know I'll be one happy, crying mess once I do!
