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~

Thank you Dottie for thinking of MS. ZENYATTA’s faithful fans. I am thrilled for you, HER and each and everyone of her connections. I will pray for a sale and sound BABY Z until on the ground, standing and nursing. May God continue to care for this incredible creature — Love to Zenyatta. Can I come and peek, not disturb you in about 55 days?

I am so happy for you and your Team Z. I bet Mario was like a proud Papa and I wish he could go to see you. Thanks Dottie, Lane’s End and everyone who keeps us entertained. I checked my computer so many times since Sunday and this morning I screamed to my husband that Zenyatta was in foal!!!!!!!!!
Lori Stein
Congrats Big Z, I’m sooooooo glad to hear the good news. I was starting to get a little anxious to hear the news, I’m sure like all your loving fans. I was thinking alot about you yesterday, watching some old recordings of some of your races. I love the race call Vic Staufer(?) gave when you won the Vanity this past year, when he says that Miss Silver Brook and Cherry Blossom Miss are setting it up for the QUEEN if she’s good enough today and of course you were! You were everyday!
I was also thinking of names for your foal. I hope the Moss’ use the letter Z in all your foals names. If this 1st one ends up being a colt I love the name Zenmaster, isn’t that cute? Well anyway, I’m so happy for you and all your connections in CA and LE. You take it easy and enjoy some bananas for all of us.
Love Ya big girl, Lori

This is fantastic news!!!!!!!!!! As you can see by the gazillion postings, we are all over the moon about the news!!! They will take great care of the big girl, that I am sure of. Let’s keep our hooves crrossed everyone. Thanks for posting so quickly Dottie!!!!
Molly
Zenyatta, I am so happy for you. Could you ask Dottie a question for me. Once the foal is born, how long does Zenyatta get to keep her “baby”? A horse photographer friend of mine said that many times, people take the mare’s baby away too soon. I know that it’s part of the process, but hope you get the right amount of time with the filly or colt.
Nancy McNaul Applegate
this time will be one of thevery best in your life, Zenny. pray for good health and treasure it!

Zenyatta, have you told Bernie yet? Can’t wait to hear his reaction. I think we are all in for a long year of anticipation, but I know that it will be worth the wait. Bless you Zenyatta for all of the good that you have brought to so many.
Rooting for Bernyatta or Zendini

Congratulations! Thank-you, Dottie, for all your wonderful posts, but this was extra special! We’ll be thinking of our Queen when we attend the Santa Anita Derby next month. We had the thrill of a lifetime when we watched our beautiful girl win the 2009 BC Classic. Best of luck with the pregnancy, and thank-you for the great news! We’re over the moon!
