A recent eBay auction of a halter worn by 2010 Horse of the Year and legendary race mare Zenyatta brought a final bid of $6,712.50 in a fundraising effort for the Bluegrass Chapter of the American Red Cross. Zenyatta, along with owners Jerry and Ann Moss, and Lexington, Ky.-based Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital veterinarian Debbie Spike-Pierce, DVM, presented the check from the sale of her halter to the Red Cross at Lane’s End Farm, in Versailles, Ky., on Monday (April 2).
