Hello Everyone,
In life, we all have things that don’t always go as hoped or planned. I am not any different than anyone else. At Lane’s End, they did a recheck on me today and discovered that I am no longer in foal. Just as with humans, horses also have this type of thing happen.
I am feeling terrific! I am totally looking forward to becoming a MOM in the future. I want everything to be perfect when that time comes!
With Love,
Hugs to ALL~

This is very sad and I also wonder why they did another check, ahead of schedule.
I must say I am sorry to see ugly messages posted here. (I don’t know why those people bother to do this sort of thing.) This Website has always been a good one with uplifting messages. I would like it to stay that way.

You are always in my thoughts…I see your picture everyday. Tears.
Joanne
Wow, that is so sad. But, you were a late foal yourself, so there is still plenty of time to rebreed you, even until May if they want. Please let us know when you get to go see Berni again. Hopefully this next time you will keep the pregnancy going strong. You are healthy and being taken excellent care of, this thing happens alot in horses.
What Would BARBARO Do?
OMG, I’m so sorry Zenniegirl. It wasn’t in the stars. I will light some candles for you and set up a prayer virgil. I will fast until you become with child. The lord who took BARBARO away from us is sometimes unjust, but he works in strange ways. Now, I believe that BARBARO was meant to be the horsie-husband of Zennie. Why else would he take away this foal. Bernardi was the winner in the Preekness, ONLY because BARBARO lost his life under suspicious cirscumstances. The Mooses should breed Zennie to LENTENOR or NICANOR, then she would be in foal immediately. This needs to be done.
Dona
Sorry to hear about Zardana but thankful that she’ll be okay in retirement. You did a great job John, she had the best.

Its not uncommon for a maiden mare off the track to not catch on her first breeding. The embryo terminating meant something wasnt right so, like Dottie says, its ok! They want everything to be perfect for this little guy (or girl) when they do arrive. Chins up everyone! Zenyatta is healthy and happy which matters most and the baby will come when its the perfect time! Thinking of all Team Z xxx
Kathy Kimber
Dear Zenyatta forgive me but I’m going to speak not only to you but to Dottie and John and Jerry and Ann and Mario and Carmen and all of Barn 55. Please feel my arms around you hugging you close trying to help you bear this load. Everyone of us who follow you daily love and appreciate every single thing you ahve every done for “Z” we know you have her best interest at heart. So stay strong I know the hurt we feel can only me small compared to the hurt you are all feeling. We all love and appreciate you
Lacie
Hey Zen! I’ve been doing lots of planning the past few weeks and my absence had to be on your mind. It’s ok! Rest assured that I have enough food and water to survive 36 months in case everything falls apart! And just remember that if things get perilous in your neck of the woods that all you have to do is close your eyes and neigh three times and I will enter your mind and guide you to Fort Lacie!! T.I.C.!
Guido Sanchez
Z – we are sorry about this small setback but things happen for the best. Keep happy as always.

@jen
Thanks for that bit of information…that this is pretty common with maiden mares.
Anna
I’m so sorry to hear that you lost the foal, Zenny, but I’m glad that you’re healthy. I hear that you will likely get to have another date with Bernie soon. I’ll be praying for a successful pregnancy and healthy foal and momma out of your second date. I just know you’ll get to be a momma someday soon, so keep your head up! :)

“While Bernardini has problems with his pee pee,
Let us swear allegiance to a horse that’s free,
Let us all be grateful for a horse so fair,
As we raise our voices in a solemn prayer. ”
God Bless Zenyatta,
Horse that I love.
Stand beside her, and guide her
Thru the night with Bernie’s Pud on her nub.
From the mounting, to the neighing,
To the moans, white with foam
God bless Zenyatta, My horse sweet horse.
Arlene
So sorry. God bless you Beautiful One

SCUDSMOTHER and Michael.Do you seriously believe any of the stuff that you just said??? Please tell me it was all just for shock factor and you aren’t REALLY that stupid. Like someone mentioned, its really low to make such comments where children can read them.
Zenny, big cyber hugs for you dear, and plenty of prayers to St Francis, that you will continue to be healthy, in foal or not. Pepermint kisses XOXOXO <3 <3

Ms Zenyatta, my prayers are with you and your family. This is nothing to worry about, you will be in foal again soon. I love you, Sweetheart….Lisa g.
Eve
So sorry to hear that. Maybe next time. My prayers go out to you. Love ya,
Nancy
Was saddened to hear you lost your foal, but I am sure you will be okay, and you will get to see Bernardini again soon. Love you big girl, and take care.
Valarie
Aww that’s too bad Z, maybe they’ll let you have a glass of Guiness?
My condolences to Team Zenyatta and I hope Z comes into heat again soon so she and Bernardini can have another “date”. You can consider it a birthday gift from Bernie ;)
Love you babe
Astrid
Sweet Zenny, Bernie and Team Z, I am so very sorry. Such sad news! Unfortunately it wasn’t meant to be but most importantly you are healthy! Sending you positive thoughts and lots of hugs!

SUSAN DON’T YOU LOOK DOWN ON ME WITH YOUR HIGH AND MIGHTY FACADE. YOUR KIDS AREN’T GOING TO STAND A CHANCE IN THE REAL WORLD ANYWAYS COMING ON A BLOG ABOUT A RETIRED HORSE WHERE PEOPLE TALK TO THE HORSE LIKE IT READS THIS BLOG. IT’S THE TURKS WHO SET IT UP. THE TURKS WANT YOU TO TALK TO ANIMALS. THEY WANT YOU TALKING TO THEM IN PUBLIC AND MAKING ANOTHER VOICE FOR THE ANIMAL SO YOU CAN CARRY A CONVERSATION. WHY, YOU SAY? WELL THEY WANT YOU TO PAY. THEY WANT ALL YOUR MONEY. YOU THINK THE FIELD OF PSYCHIATRY AIN’T ABOUT GETTIN ALL THE MARBLES BY TELLING YOU YOU’RE OFF YOURS? THE TURKS OWN THE MENTAL HOSPITALS. YOU KEEP TALKING TO ANIMALS LIKE THEY’RE HUMAN AND THAT’S WHERE YOU’RE GOING. MARBLES FOR MARBLES. KEEP FEEDING THE NARCISSISTS.

Zenny:
So sorry to hear the news. But you’re right, with horses like humans these things happen.
Good news is you and Bernie can try again.
Hugs and kisses
Janet Z
Beautiful girl, your entire family will be sad so be gentle with yourselves and get some extra rest. I send love, nuzzles, and big hugs to everyone, janet z
Morgan
So sorry to hear the bad news, but I’m glad that you are okay otherwise. Good luck next time Queen Z.
carolyn
maybe this is signs to be, she is going to be bred again and then she will stay in foal , late next year the foal will be born and he will be something so special. Maybe like Man O’ War or one of the other special late foalings. This is to be expected, so she will try again just as soon as they run some blood tests on her. They are creatures of nature, she will be in foal again. This will make her little ones extra special, because they may come far and few between.
Kathy Kimber
I think we should continue to ignor SOME PEOPLE, They seem to just want to look important.
I LOVE YOU ZENYATTA AND ALL YOUR TEAM AND THE PEOPLE WHO REALLY COUNT.
Arlene
As Kathy Kimber expressed to Dottie and John and Jerry and Ann and Mario and Carmen and all of Barn 55, you have our sympathy and love. God bless you all.
Linda
Hopefully that is not true. Why would they check again this early. You are wonderful anyway it turns out.
Kathy Kimber
Zeny; I still think you will produce that triple crown winner I’ve always thought so.
carolyn
Thank God this happened so early and not much later. Zenyatta’s life could have been at stake.
SCUDSMOTHER
I LOVE YOU KATHY KIMBER I LOVE ALL OF GOD’S CHILDREN. BUT MAKE NO MISTAKE NOT ALL OF THE CREATURES ON THIS EARTH ARE GOD’S CHILDREN. YOU THINK THOSE TURKS ARE GONNA WALK WITH CHRIST? THEY WALK WHERE THE MONEY LEADS. THEY ALREADY OWN NUMEROUS TELEVANGELISTS. SO YOU COULD BE CONTRIBUTING TO THE PROBLEM. NOT THAT YOU WATCH TELEVANGELISTS. YOU MIGHT WATCH STORIES INSTEAD. WELL GUESS WHAT? THEY OWN THE STORIES TOO. YOU THINK VICTOR NEWMAN DON’T WORK FOR THE TURKS? GENERAL HOSPITAL IS AMERICAN-OWNED? THINK AGAIN. YOU THINK THESE TURKS DON’T OWN DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES? LOOK UP THE WORD WYSTERIA. YEAH IT’S TURKISH FOR MARBLES.
