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 MY GOSH! I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR SOOOOO LONG!! I want to be a jockey when I grow up so I can be around amazing horses like her, but we all know there will never be another like her! Congrats Zenyatta you are my favorite race horse of all time! :) Your baby should be named after the great tornadoes that swept through, just like he will sweep his competition! :)

Congratulations! He is beautiful and mom and baby are healthy!! The first thing I did today was check for baby watch!
