HELLO EVERYONE!
I’ve missed YOU!
I guess my guys at the farm could not wait a moment longer…and they scanned me this morning. I just had to share the news with you!
I AM IN FOAL!
This is my 15 day scan! From what I am told, everything looks fabulous and solid. The embryo looks to be a good size. So, at this time, everything is WONDERFUL!
I will be rescanned at about 28 days and if that is all A-OK, my next scan will be at the 40-42 day time period from the date I was bred. As Dottie explained to you earlier, the latter scan is really very important. If all is perfect at that time, then I am pretty well on my way in my pregnancy. This is all so exciting and so new to me! I JUST LOVE IT!
David actually called Dottie at 4:33 this morning (California time) to tell her the news! She immediately ran to the computer to type up the announcement for YOU!
I truly hope you enjoy sharing these moments with ME and going through all of these different stages that I am experiencing in my life.
Hmmm! I just had a thought! Lately, I have been craving BANANAS. It seems like that is all I’ve been thinking about for the last few days! I guess this could explain why. Dottie tells me craving some type of food is very normal for humans while pregnant. Maybe it is for horses like me too! This is TOO CUTE!
Oh my! I better contact BERNIE and let him know the good news! I’m sure he will also be very excited!
WOW! I’M IN FOAL! I’m really embarking upon an entirely new stage of my life and career. As you can imagine, I’M JUMPING FOR JOY!
HOOVES CROSSED for the news on my next scan to be just at POSITIVE!
With Love,
HUGS and Big Kisses to All~

ME…IN FOAL! YIPPEE!
P.S. – This is post #201 to commemorate the second chapter of my life!

Zenny, Horse of my Heart, I can’t believe this day is finally here! May you have a healthy and safe experience. I understand about the 40-42 day scan, but I’m still sending heartiest congratulations to you and all of Team Z and to all of us here who love you so very much. Thank goodness you are getting such good care.
@Regina from NJ: welcome aboard the Z Love Train – lol

Dear Queen Zenyatta, Mother Horse of a Lifetime –
.
Surely you must feel the good vibes rolling in your direction from all quarters. Congratulations to Mr. & Mrs. Moss, to Dottie and John, for making such wise and careful decisions for our Queen. Through your wisdom Zenyatta is flourishing.
.
Wouldn’t you love to have been there for the phone call this morning? So exciting!
.
I love that Blood-Horse is quoting THIS blog as their lead story! Zen and Little Zen (or Zenbryo!) put their fans first, as always, and deserve a thick slice of banana bread as a mid-afternoon snack on such a significant day.
.
Queen Z, it’s Mr. Mo’s birthday today and I’m sure, since you are etiquette-perfect, you’ve already sent him a birthday e-card!
.
I bet Bernardini is strutting just a bit more today and feeling the proud papa amongst the boys in the barn.
.
Thank you to our Divine Dottie, Voice of Zenyatta, who is the singularly most devoted woman on the planet.
.
Love and Horse Hugs ~HH

Congratulations Beautiful Zenyatta! That picture of you shows how you are glowing. You look extra gorgeous if that is possible. Keep eating those bananas. They are so good for you. You are too cute. Thank you to Dottie for keeping us all informed. She writes from her heart and Zenyatta’s. These messages are too precious for words. Zenyatta, kisses and hugs to you.

@Regina from NJ: Really like your idea that Post #201 is exactly what Zendotti had in mind – chapter 2, post 1. Perfect!
It’s so fun to think of 68,000 godparents (or aunties and uncles) for Wee Z. As someone posted so simply and wonderfully:
HAPPINESS!!

Thank you for running to your computer so early in the morning to tell us, Dottie. You are such a wonderful ambassador for Zenny and we love you for it! All the best. Please give her a nana for me!
Margie
P.S. Fabulous Dottie, you’re pretty darn clever with that #201 – love it, and so appropriate. Your creativity knows no bounds. I’d like to know which vitamins you take for the energy you must surely have to do all that you do! We’re all grateful for your devotion to Zenny and to us. It means a lot…
Karen
Congratulations Beautiful Zenyatta. How extra gorgeous you look. Motherhood agrees with you. Keep eating those bananas. Thanks to Dottie for writing these precious letters to us from you, Zenyatta. Love and kisses to you.

Yayyy ! You are officially the “Horsey Queen Mom”!!!

How about Zencetera for a name if it’s a female?

Dear ‘Regina FROM NJ: Loved your rationale for ‘DP #201’ ~ it was no mistake; Dottie is par excellence, where keeping track is concerned. One story in the press told of days when everyone knew, that as Bobby Frankel`s Business Manager, if he needed his checkbook, ask her. Glad you are on board.
Charlotte
What happy news Zenny!!! You will be a wonderful mother. Congratulations to you and your team.
Gigi
Congratulations to you, Zenyatta, and to all of your family and friends. This is a wonderful blessing for everyone. JOY, JOY, JOY!!

Hi Zenny,
What great news!
Will you know your baby’s sex before he or she is born? Or, will that remain a surprise until the very end?
RuthG
Oh the joy, I am so happy for you and Team Zenyatta. Feel the love, Queen Z, now more than ever. I’m sure Bernie is throwing out his chest and beaming. Blessing to you and your cherished little one.

Congrats, I am so excited for you and your team. Love from Louisiana,

Hi Zenny, you look so beautiful in this picture with Charles. He looks happy to be takeing care of you. Congradulations on being in foal. I am so happy and excited for you. WE, your fans, have been waiting for the news and now that we know you are in foal we have to wait and see what it will be. I wish you and Bernie the best and you will be a beautiful family with your beautiful foal. When are you do? I know you are as happy as can be with the good news and be sure you eat alot of banannas. I can just see all at barn 55 jumping up and down at the news. I’m sure that Ann and Jerry are starting to feel like grandma and grandpa to the Zenyatta foal. This is such a wonderful time for all of you. We your fans can play like Aunties and Uncles. It is going to be alot of fun for all of us. We share your love and happiness in a big way. Have fun, stay happy and eat alot of banannas. Wishing the best for you and your foal.Love you much Zenny.

Awesome news! Congratulations TEAM Z!

This is absolutely the BEST news I have heard in weeks…I am sure Bernie(Daddy-to-be) is bucking in his stall at Darley!
Along with Dottie’s excitement, when did they call the Mosses?? Ann & Jerry must be in “Zen-heaven!”
Congrats and we will keep you in our prayers…your photo above looks like you are “glowing in the sun!” They say us human mothers-to-be have a certain “glow!”
XOXO
