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

WOOHOO! As always, you are PERFECT! Just one cover!!!! The baby’s name should be Mondatta………….but hey, plenty of time to decide. Are you knitting little baby shoes out of steel wool yet??
Mary Lee
Zenny, I’m sure Dottie was thrilled to be awoken at 4:33 AM to be hear the news personally! I’m so happy for you and Bernie! Be sure they put a little peanut butter on your bananas ~ You’ll need extra protein for little Z to grow big and strong! Congratulations to Team Z.
Kim Noble
YES!!! We’re all gonna be grandparents! All the love in the world to you Queen Z and may you and your baby be healthy always!

Too wonderful. It did feel like waiting for Christmas. Too cute. The path to day 45 is set. Thanks so much Dottie! Hooves crossed. Hugs to all.
Cathleen
Congratulations Z!! I’m so happy for you! Guinness for everyone! Woo hoo!
Sharon Call
Oh, YEAH!!! If I could, I’d be doing the happy dance, but I’m doing the happy chair dance instead – great big grin and a few happy tears.
Dottie, the length, breadth and depth of your dedication never fails to amaze and delight me because it’s a bit rare these days. All of Z’s fans are so very, very lucky to have you there to be her voice. There aren’t any awards (that I know of) for what you do, but the reward you get is the love,respect and admiration of thousands of people.
What about Zendini’s Pride for the baby? It fits either a colt or a filly. Just a thought.
Beth Alexander
Yippee! I hope everything goes just perfect for you and your foal. I really, really hope it is a filly but either way I will be happy with a healthy foal! As long as you stay healthy and happy… I know Lane’s End will look after you for us.
Thanks for sharing the news with your fans!
Patti
Congratulations beautiful Z….I think we’re all extremely excited with you and for you! You be extra careful now! Love you bunches!
Jennifer Wirth
Congratulations, Zenyatta! I am thrilled for you! :)
Kathy
Congrats Z! Wishing you a safe pregnancy! Pig out… ! :-)
Anne
Yahhhh000000! Great news dear girl. I just saw some foals yesterday on a horse farm and they were having so much fun with their mama’s just as you will next year at this time. How wild is that?
Bananas…interesting. My dogs like them as well but they are not in foal…thank Goodness!
Hooves crossed for the next scan but it sounds pretty positive at this time.
You looked awesome in your photo… and green grass! We just keep getting snow. Another 6 inches to the 18 inches on Monday.
Thanks to Dottie for sharing the news. How cool that phone call had to be no matter what time it was. :>)

I just knew it we would find out today. I’m so happy for you Z and your family.

Now, before I posted, I took a few moments to admire the photo. What an appropriate photo for this special occasion. You look so incredibly regal standing there, in that Zen state of yours. It also shows how well you’re being cared for, your coat looks beautiful!
.
And a special thank you to LE for caring for the people’s Queen. ;)
Dana
Thank you Dottie for sharing so quickly. I am so happy for everyone! I’m so emotional about Zenyatta.
Laura
Hi, gorgeous! So happy for you and grateful to the wonderful Dottie to share the news so quickly! I’ve been looking forward to reading this since your date with Bernie, that lucky guy.
Have you told your friend Pirate the news and will she be getting preggers too?
Love you, Zen!!!
Sarah Powell
Ya-hoo!! I left my facebook page up today in hopes of getting some news – we’ve all been going crazy! Such good news – congrats to all – you’ve put a smile on 66,000 people today!! Thanks team Z – especially Dottie and David for getting us the news quickly! Looking forward to many more posts – I know we’re spoiled!

Dear Z,
So exciting. Congratulations to you, Bernie and the Team. It’s going to be wonderful to be able to follow you through this special event in your life. We wish you a healthy, happy pregnancy and we love you. What a beautiful baby he or she will be. Love to all of you. Judy and Russ
Dani
Zenyatta – you look so radiant in that new photo. You know, whenever I see carrots I think of you. Whenever I see peppermints I think of you. And whenever I see Guiness I think of you. Now, whenever I see bananas I will think of you and this wonderous day. Instead of carrot cake they will have to start baking banana bread for you. Congratulations Zenny and Bernie and all of Team Z. I’m so happy for all of you and all of us. This day rocks!!
Robyn Mullhausen
Congratulations Momma Z! Wishing you good health for you and baby Z. I’m sure bananas are good for you in moderation. Please thank Dottie for doing such a marvelous job of keeping us informed. Not hearing anything for a couple days makes us all realize how much Dottie has us spoiled. OMG, I bet John is more excited than anybody…maybe not more excited than Jerry and Ann. ˙·٠•●♥♥●•٠·
Roberta Smith
Congratulations Pretty Girl! No jumping for joy though…eat all the bananas you want and remember the apples too! So happy for you and your family there and in CA! Kisses from me to you Zenyatta XXXXXX
Sharon in Seattle
I just can’t stop posting!! All hooves crossed for a great day 45!! And, dahling, your photo on the KY grass is awesome. Dottie, I think you should get a special Vox Populi Award for keeping the adored Zenyatta’s musings so accessible to her fans. LOVE YOU!!!
nancyalis
Congratulations to you & Bernardini ! I guess you will not be drinking Guinness for awhile ;-)). I cannot wait to see the new baby. I wish you the best of health !
Pam
This is such wonderful news, Zenyatta. Heartiest congratulations to you and the proud expectant father. Of course we can’t wait to see the little prince or princess, but we know there are a few more “steps” to come, and yes, fingers and hooves are crossed that your next scan will be positive too. Plenty of time after that to start planning your baby shower! Love & best wishes to you, “Big Mama.”
Pattie
CONGRATULATIONS :) This gives me goose bumps, I’m so HAPPY!! Zenny, I bet you will start “Nesting” before long….I will keep you in my Prayers, for a safe pregnancy & a healthy foal. Thank You, Dottie for the Good News !! I’m sorry you had to get up so early to share the news, but we all were sitting on pins & needles all day yesterday..
Jan
Zenyatta, how wonderful that both you and your mother are in foal. Maybe you can share stories with her. Best of luck.
Debbie Minnis
Fantastic news!!!
Nancy McDonald
Congratulations Zenyatta, I bet you are so excited to be a Mom, I am sure you will make a good one and I can hardly wait for the new foal, filly or colt (but it would be fun to have another Zenyatta!). Stay cool girl and you can be sure I will enjoy those updates and can’t wait until next Feb. Enjoy those bananas. They are healthy too.
