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!

Hi Zenny: Would you please tell Dottie that I think it was really nice of her and Team Z to let us fans to be the first to learn of your good news!!! It appears the media came to Zenyatta.com to learn of this news. I just think it was so great of Dottie and You to let us fans be the first to know! Thanks!

To Karey R and Sharon Call: Thank you for your very kind words. It was Zenyatta who freed me from a yearlong writer’s block, beginning with Diary Post #33. I am so grateful to her. Zenyatta often says “What a fortunate horse I am.” How fortunate we humans are to keep company with Zenyatta and with Team Z (who raised and trained her with respect, skill, and love). They have showed us how the human/animal boundary can transform into a human/animal bond.

Dear Z. This is the best news I have heard all day and in a long time. Wow in foal, ahhh so good to hear. Bananas, sounds good, do you get any? I am sure you are not too different from us, so you would have some cravings. Well you look gorgeous in your picture. Take care my lovely lady. I love you.
Kim
Zenny-What wonderful news. You and Rachel must get together and knit baby booties! I am so happy for you. I saw some mares & foals in the fields going into Lexington today and thought, “next year, that will be Zenny and her baby.”
Love You
Linda Moss
Wow – Mama Z! Congratulations to you and yours! This is so exciting! I am thinking we should all do brunch with you on Sunday and have a toast to you and the great news!!
As we move into Chapter 2 with you Z, as one professional girl to another, I hope you enjoy this time and continue to multi-task your career in the early stages of your pregnancy. This time will fly fast and before you know it, you will be focused on your little foal!
As we keep our hoofs crossed, I can’t help but think of “Baby Shower”! :)
