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~

Good morning ‘Mom’,
what swell news last night. :) :) :)
Just checked out your Mike’s pic gallery, all of his horses were real lookers, sorry, Sweetie, but all of you are just gorgeous :) :) :)
Mikey isn’t bad looking either, is he getting ready to retire?
Well, I suppose your taste for nanas is going to come back now, if it hasn’t already, keep your nose to the grass, and eat your oats,’n carrots ‘n pears. You and your Moms, Moms to be, have a great day :) :) :)

Dear Zenny!
Congratulations! Thank you for sharing the exciting news with all of us that love you.

Dear ‘Z’: Familiar, quiet & loving soft whispers welcoming that little life; good-quality melodies, rhythmic and mellow — all these we sang or played to Sally`s nubbin of a foal right from the beginning. ~ She seemed to welcome for her foal what she had enjoyed all along in the barn and stall. The baby will recognize these tones — at least, ours did — and perked right up . .. ears forward to the chords, while Mama nuzzled.
Shari Voltz
Good morning beautiful girl. The children and I are just so happy for you. I told all the teachers and cheered so loud I think all of EL heard me. We understand you can’t go to DQ with us but know that we all wanted you to go. The children are so funny when they ask me if you can go with them to camp. They have horses there and will get to ride. My little student Brooke told me about Dusty today. She has rain rot. This breaks my heart but she is getting meds for it. Well we have to all go watch a movie. We love you and want you to take special care. Love with BIG Hugs and Kisses, Shari and Homeroom 215 XXXOOO

OH Zenny! I am soooooo happy for you and Bernie!! I am bawling my eyes out over this great news! But I have another surprise, I am pregnant as well and i should be delivering about a month before you. My husband had been calling me Queen Z and i have been calling him Bernie! how cute!! And regardless of the sex of our child (our 4th) we’re going to name him/her Zennie..oh how glorious!! I’m even eating lots of veggies, esp. carrots and apples, our babies will grow up together!!
Barbara Grimaldi
See? Everything happens when it’s supposed to. When the greatest thoroughbred mare in history is pregnant, the world has to know. This news is all over the net. We are all so very happy for you, Zenny–and wish you continued health and happiness! That photo of you grazing in the deep Kentucky blue is a winner which I’ve saved to my photo file (along with 27 other great photos of you). I love you, Zenny, and cannot wait for the foal and for the documentary on your life…in your honor, I’ll watch Seabiscuit tonight and toast you with a brew!!!!
Love
