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!)

Oh, happy, happy day! I kept checking every couple of hours hoping to hear your baby had come into the world and when I did, around 1:00 A.M. this morning, I think everyone else in the world was on at the same time and crashed the site because the link would not open. Now, I am soooooooo happy and the sight of you and your colt immediately brought me to tears of joy. Congrats and buckets of love to you, Zenny…happy to hear the birth went so well. Baby Zenny is so beautiful. Seeing him, it’s obvious he’s your son and you look like such a proud MOM. And thanks to everyone on Team Z for always keeping us up to date with your diary posts.

P.S. I still have not been able to find the referenced “video” but will keep looking.

Dearest Zenny, you are, as always, amazing. Everything you do, you do with grace and beauty. Your new born foal wears your face. Ears pricked, a nose to nose reflection of you, his loving dam, he joins the world beloved before he even stands. From reading all the above posts, an international river of joyous tears flows in your honor and his. And like you he will be cherished always, the first born son of our equine queen. You have provided days of suspence and now moments of sheer joy. But that was always your racing style – suspense and then sheer joy. And in a few days, I suspect, you will teach him your glorious dance, and we will all be dancing with you. Zenny, we love you.
