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~

Dearest Sweet “Z”,
For everything there is a reason and a season under the Sun…including those lovely bananas filled with Potassium for your little one’s bones! How strong a runner your foal will be. Blessings and prayers to you, Bernardini and your family. “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.” Psalm 139:13

Congratulations, sweet beautiful girl ~ I am jumping for joy at the thought of all the devoted aunties your foal will have! Guess that guy Bernardini is quite the stud, right? I will pray for your health and safety, and that of your sweet baboo, as you embark on this new and exciting stage in your life! YOU ARE LOVED SOOOOOOOO MUCH…

Ouch!!!! early phone call, but I’ll bet your Dottie is used to being an early riser, with having a husband that is a horse trainer. Great news, well done. Enjoy all your new experiences. I’m sure there will be lots of good news in the future.
Thanks for keeping us informed.

This truly has been a great response to Zenyatta’s good news.
@Rooting for Bernyatta or Zendini The picture on your post looks very much like a bullmastiff. Is it? I have a rescue bullmastiff now, my first rescue, and couldn’t be more pleased. I’ve had two others in the past. They have such loving personalities.

Cheers to you and to the entire Team Zenyatta! It’s fantastic news and I can’t wait to see the little prince or princess! As someone else said, it is going to be a very long 11 months, but your posts will keep us all informed along the way. CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU AND BERNARDINI!
Anne Geinzer
Zen, you have brought me to tears many times over the past 3 years. All but 2 times, tears of incredible joy. The only sorrows were Horse of the Year 2009 and the result of the 2010 BC Classic which I think went to the wrong horses. RA and you have a new race that scared owners can’t prevent— the race to have the next Triple Crown winner. YOU GO GIRL!!! May God bless you and all your future foals!
Becky F
Congratulations, Big Mama!! I hope Lane’s End is ready — knowing your fans, there may very well be a long line of delivery trucks coming with TONS of BANANAS!!! Enjoy yourself, Big Girl!!
Patty Smith
PS: I think Dottie got so excited typing this, she numbered it #201 instead of #101! I totally understand, Dottie!!!!
