Zenyatta might be retired, but she remains the gift that keeps on giving. Through her memorabilia and her "Moneigh" paintings she has contributed to such worthy charitable organizations as the Communication Alliance to Network Thoroughbred Ex-Racehorses (CANTER), the Racetrack Chaplaincy, and Re-Run.

"We are having so much fun with her before she leaves for Kentucky," said Dottie Ingordo-Shirreffs, wife of trainer John Shirreffs and racing manager for Zenyatta's owners, Jerry and Ann Moss. "She is doing all of her charitable work now… for all of the horse organizations and our industry. She is really giving back to help her other horse friends who need a bit of support right now. The money that was raised for her one halter helped to provide the funds for four horses to be re-trained through CANTER. Just one halter; it is so sweet. She wears them like Liz Taylor would wear diamonds. After we put them on, we take a photo, and John, Mike (Smith) and/or Ann and Jerry sign it to show she actually wore it. Shoes, paintings, photos, T-shirts–she is doing the whole thing, all to help her 'buddies in need.'
