Dear, dear, dear friends,
I am so proud and elated to share the news with you that I am now a MOM. I just gave birth to a lovely dark bay COLT, March 8th, at approximately 10:10 p.m. Eastern Time.
My adorable foal weighed in at 130 pounds, has a white star on his forehead….and some white on his feet. As Ann commented when she saw him, “he has polka dots on his feet, Zennie, just like YOU.”
All went very well with the foaling. I must say….I did it like a CHAMP!
My foal is absolutely precious…and I am so pleased to share this entire experience with all of you…my precious and loving friends.
We are all still just getting acclimated to this entire new experience. I’m doing great. MY BABY is doing great….and Bernie is also excited! I’ll update you again with some more photos in the morning.
All blessings to each of YOU….and THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART….for being there for ME and SHARING THIS WONDERFUL PART OF MY LIFE WITH ME!
With Love,
Hugs to All~(Can you believe it…..I’m now a MOM!)

Sierra has the nervous jitters. Where is everyone?

Number one fan and number one colt.
So glad you had a boy; the hopes of a Triple
Crown winner could be real.

In keeping with The Police, how about the name “Sting”?
maureen
Zenyatta, my mum is your BIGGEST FAN! and she wants me to send you her HEART felt CONGRATULATIONS and a HUGE KISS on the little PRINCE’S soft nose!!!!!.
Kacy
I think zendini is nice but put star at the end.
Stacey
Zenyatta’s baby was born in Kentucky just after the worst tornadoes in Kentucky’s history swept through the state. I would love to see the colts name honor this time.
Rebecca
King of the Wind!!!!!!
Sandy K.
I like it, “King of the Wind”.
How about “Prince Zendini”?
helene from Middletown, Ohio
I’ve thought Zenyadini or Zendini from the beginning. How about Zendini the Prince or Stormy Zendini?
LauraJ (Cincinnati OH)
I sure wouldn’t. People and horses lost their lives, just not in the immediate Lexington area. He deserves a positive name.
Delia Lee Scallion
So proud of you, hugs to all…

Best to you Zenyatta, Baby Colt and team Z. You totally made my morning. Love, one of your many, many fans.
Karolina Sabonaityte
Can’t wait to see him produce many more perfect generations!
Denise
So happy for Zenyatta and her baby boy. Have never met you…yet, but am tearing up with the news. Glad it went so well. The very best for both of you…best health and best life. Let us know what they name the little prince. Great news!!! You both are just beautiful.
Theresa
Z I said along it would be a boy and that he would be born with one of your marking.

Terry Crow
Sierra-I told you that Spike would come through.
Sierra is in love with mini Spike!
The little foal looks exactly like him!
Robert Henry
Has a name been given to the Zenyatta/Curlin’s foal. How about the name STARS CROSSED.
Marion Ambler
Curlin? It’s Zenyatta and Bernardini. And I think so far his only name so far is ‘the little guy’.
sheila maher
He looks just like Mommy! The heavenly Prince has been foaled! I have been checking the site every single day. Many blessings, much happiness for future success and great health and legs that fly like the wind! I still like my name suggestion…Yadda Yadda Yadda! Zen’ looks quite at home…all settled in for maternal duties! So happy for all and thanks for sharing your beautiful horse and her son with all the world. She is so special and dear to us all!

Absolutely thrilled! I’ve seen more than one new foal come into the world on my parents’ Morgan farm, but Zenyatta’s poise in this simple video is unmatched. I don’t just say that as a fan, but as an experienced observer. Well done, well done! Sending my very best. <3
carin
I’ve never commented on here before but I had to when I saw this news. I am so thrilled for Zenyatta and all her people family. The colt is adorable and this is truly a great day for horses. Congratulations!
Laura
Ooooo Z he is so handsome. I have been checking in all day to hear news.
breezin
I just knew the full moon would make something huge happen!!!! Awesome!!!!! Maybe his name could incorporate that? Moonlight Treasure? I dunno. Congrats to Team Z!!!!!
Tatia
“Moonlight Prince” or “Full Moon Prince?” I still love “Zendini” best. I like the moon aspect of the name though. I’m sure the Mosses probably have something in mind already, but perhaps they are reading out suggestions too ;-)
Robin - Ventura CA
I had said she would have her baby on the 8th plus with a full moon!!!
Cerb
So happy for you Zenny, and your little colt, and all your human connections!
Erin
Hurray! So excited and so happy that Mom and Baby are fine!

Kris O. - Chicago suburbs
JAG – Z almost delivered both your wishes – March 8 for the full moon and March 9 for John Henry. What kind of sign would it be if she foaled right at midnight? :)
This is still a great (early) bday present for me! SO excited when I found out this morning!
Zenyatta – CONGRATULATIONS on your wonderful baby!
Dottie – thank you for making every day a “Z” day!
