Happy Wednesday Dear Friends,
I have heard that everyone all over the country is PACING, PACING, PACING waiting to hear the news. As of this morning….I have not foaled. I’m not quite sure when it will happen. This is such a new experience for ME!
My dear pals at BARN 55…Mario, Steve, Michelle…and ALL of the others are anxiously waiting for the updates.
I must graciously say…so are YOU. I am extremely proud to announce that we have now passed the 100,000 mark in Face Book Fans. This is truly quite an accomplishment…and I want to THANK ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT! This number has more than doubled since I retired from racing and arrived at Lane’s End Farm. We have all come a long way together and have been blessed to share quite a fabulous and amazing journey. Again…THANK YOU!
As for my physical well-being….this morning’s reports are that I am doing great! I guess you could say I am taking my own sweet time to foal. You know ME…I have a tendency to keep people in suspense…on the edge of their seats…waiting to see what happens. That was definitely my racing style…and I gather it is carrying over to my new career in becoming a MOM!
I am happy, healthy, looking quite good (Blush, Blush…if I say so myself)…surrounded by people who adore ME. I genuinely feel all of the LOVE you all have for ME.
I am SO FORTUNATE!
I’ll keep you posted. Relax and have a FUN DAY! I know I will!
With Love,
Hugs to All~(All 100,000 plus of YOU! This is TOO CUTE!)

That is a great photo of the Barn 55 folk, if you lined up all the people pacing in wait for this foal I suspect it would reach from Barn 55 to Lane’s End.
Judy
Would someone please post the link to Lane’s End’s foals? I can’t find it from their website and it fun to see who is giving birth each day. Thanks.

Hi Zenyatta,
I know i haven’t comment lately but I just have to say I’m so proud of you for getting 100,000 fans on facebook. You deserve them. I’m on spring break this week so if you could please give brith this week i would appricate that why i don’t have to go back to school and wait to like 5 o’clock to get home and see if you had her or he yet. Plus i probably wouldn’t be able to pay attion in class.
My acutally wish is that you have a safe and happy delivery and the foal is healthy. That is more important to me then you foaling this week.
I found this video that fit you well so i’m going to share it with you. Warning: It made me cry. It’s called zenyatta- glory.

Couldn’t agree with you more. How lucky you were to have had such a special relationship with her.

❤ You, too, Terry. You gave her the priceless gifts of smiles and laughter, on days when there might otherwise have been none. ❤

I can now exhale with this update… I have to text some peeps to let them know the latest.

I was thinking the same thing … she is just relaxing, hanging out before making a sprint to “the wire” — March 9th! This time SHE gets to make the decision on when to move, not Mike ;)

Mary
Zenyatta, your site is so busy, I could not get on for awhile.
We are all, like you say, pacing, pacing…………..
so, you are going to come in at your own pace, as usual.
A high hoof to all of Team Zenyatta.
ANXIOUS to hear healthy mom and baby news.
Safe and healthy for you, Zenyatta, is my most concern.
Hugs and Prayers

Dear one, I think I’m relaxing but I’m not real sure, but you said to relax & enjoy the day to I’m trying. I joined “twitter” today…you made me do it! So now I have another place to check for news of you, you wonderful Z-momma.
Hoofray for over 100,000 on facebook today!! Love & hugs & blessings to you (Tasty too)
Valarie Franklin
Zenny I can’t stand the wait! I literally spend all day at work refreshing this page for news AND last night I had another dream of you foaling. This time, in line with my previous hunches, the foal was a filly.
I love you Z! Enjoy your day. How is Tasty? Has she foaled?
LauraJ (Cincinnati OH)
Tasty hasn’t foaled. She seems to be a few days behind Zenyatta in terms of readiness. No doubt they’ll let us know.
Georgia Harper< Seattle, WA
You look so happy and content with Jerry and Ann by your side. Take care beauty and yes indeed Pacing Pacing Pacing and trying to take deep breaths. Love you so much. Any word on TT and so happy PQ delivered and is doing well, her little one is beautiful

Just checking in. Loved the picture of PQ and her baby!
Off again. Back later.
Brenda S..Ontario, Canada
Dearest Zenny, I know that you are so happy to have Mom and Dad with you and I’m sure they will stay to visit even after the foal is here so tonight would be good. Can you believe how many people are on tenterhooks waiting for your baby, over 100,000 friends on FB, congratulations.
Thank you Dottie for the photos today, the Barn 55 crew look just as eager as I feel and Dad looks so happy to see his girl even if she doesn’t style his hair.
Zenny, you’ve definitely got me on the edge of my seat and, as you say, you always did keep us in suspense. Love and kisses to YOU and TASTY. xoxoxoxoxoxo
Barbara C -MA
Oh Zenny that is so great! And to think we’re all pacing with you. When the time is perfect, that’s when you adorable foal will be born. Good health for both of you, that’s all we can ask for. Just think, 100,000 fans all waiting patiently, that will certainly make you Blush! Enjoy your day and we’ll just keep checking on you.
Rosemary McCauley - So. Cal.
Abigail – I left a post on the last diary about the photo of the Street Cry colt you posted. Do you know anything about him? Where is he, who owns him, his name, etc., etc.? This looks like one I would like to keep track of. Spitting image of Zenyatta, right down to the dapples.
Lorrie
Congrats on reaching 100.000 Facebook fans. Sending you well wishes for the up coming event. So very excited! Enjoy your day with all the love around you.

Carol from Connecticut
That is so true that Zenyatta used to keep us all on the edge of our seats (or in some cases pacing in front of the television) when she was racing. We should be used to this, right? Can you believe how many people are waiting (and doing some pacing) to hear about the First Foal? What matters most is that it is a safe delivery and Zenyatta and her foal are healthy.
Zenyatta, you are one very, very special horse!
Donna from Baltimore
LOVE the photo’s today. People all over the world are anxiously awaiting the Queen’s foal. I just hope they both come thru it healthy and sound!
And to finally get over the 100,000 mark – YAYAYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!
