Good Morning,
I hope each of you had a wonderful, restful, and peaceful holiday! This day is also a special time to remember all that MEMORIAL DAY truly represents as well.
Everything at the farm is going very, very well. I want to share with you the fabulous day I have had so far. This morning, my vets came to check me and… YES, I am eating for TWO! As of this morning, I have had what is technically called my ’60 day check-up’. I am happily IN FOAL! All is A-OK! My pregnancy is progressing nicely and the baby has a very strong heartbeat! YIPPEE!
I must say I am so excited and so are all of my Team and Family members! This is such terrific news! Bernie and I are going to be parents!
As is the Moss’ policy, we are not going be fetal-sexing to determine if the foal is a colt or filly. My owners never do this with any of their mares. Part of the fun, in their opinion, is the anticipation. We will wait and BE SURPRISED!
Now, I’m off to graze and enjoy the rest of the day! I’ll fill you in on more details as we go along! Thank you so much for all of your understanding and patience the last few months on this topic! I so appreciate your kindness and support!
I’m sending each of you a HIGH HOOF! IT IS TRULY A DAY OF GREAT HAPPINESS!
With Love,
Hugs to All~

Z, that’s wonderful news! I’m so excited. Berni is a dark bay just like you, so is that the color we’re expecting? I am sure this little “Unborn Z” will do GREAT THINGS for the world of horseracing, and bring honor to his gorgeous mama’s name! :D WINK, WINK! Congrats to you, owners, and Berni! I think you should name the foal “Zendini” if it’s a boy or “Zennydini” if it’s a girl. Keep us posted, good luck, I love you!
Hugs, kisses, corrots, and love~

WINK, WINK! :D <3

Dear Z: I don’t know if anyone told you that human moms-to-be tend to glow. More than the winks, this is what tipped me off you were expecting. You never looked lovelier. Congrats to you, Bernie and all the humans on your team.

Was thinking about you recently because I saw John S. on the backside at the Preakness. Your chosen mate is terrific and that foal should be terrific. Interesting that most of the posts are female. Girls rule!!!! Good luck and congrats to all involved.

@Abigail from Montreal; I do not know where you found this video. It brought back memories for me especially as I was shocked to see my friend and I with our Z hats, and saying how much we love Z. WOW!! But, most importantly wasn’t Z just the most fabulous, gracious horse!! Thank you for the bottom of my heart. I nevr knew they actually put us on film during Z’s spectacular moments to everyone of us.
