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!)

Ah Queen Z so happy for you and your foal. Hope that there will be some video soon of the two of you. How is Tasty doing, had her baby yet? Just think, three years from now we may see both your colt and Rachael’s in the “Run for the Roses”

I was convinced you were going to have a girl but your baby boy is simply beautiful! You look so sweet laying next to him. I just know you will be a wonderful mom. Can’t wait to see more pictures of the two of you.

Zenny, congratulations! I’ve been a lurker since the beginning on your site and now seemed like the time to make a first post. I love you, your foal, and your people!

Oh Zenny, your colt is beautiful. I heard the news last night. It was posted on Facebook. I tried to pull up your website but it must have crashed due to all your well wishes. Congratulations dear Mom. Hope all is well. Can’t wait to hear more.
Can you update Tasty’s status.
All the best in the world.

And adding to all the joy and happiness. We must shout out to John Shirreffss, for without him, the world would NEVER have really had Zenyatta the way we know her. congratulations to the Mosses, John and Dottie, Barn 55, Mario, Steve, MIKE SMITH, Micjele, Carmen and everyone else I have left out cause I don’t know all the folks’ names. but YOU ALL DID IT. And to LE gang, they continued the legacy and kept watch of their charge. And to you Zenny, your sweetness and gentle caring has never stopped — now you bestow your love onto your very own! Xoxo
Celeste in TX
I believe what you said is true. With his patient handling and training, Zenyatta was able to reach those heights. Of course it helps to have owners who are patient and trust to the judgement of the trainer, too. We are blessed that Zenyatta has these wonderful connections! :)
Holly ZEMBA
Congratulations Zenyatta and Bernardini I love you!!!

Dear Z&connections – Deepest congratulations on your new baby boy? I couldn’t be happier that it’s a colt looking like you. You look so rested and peaceful with a glow about you and obviously looking mighty proud! Now I’m off to work with a full heart and happy tears.

A Belated Birthday Poem for Kaylee
(Birthday: March 8)
Dearest Zenny,
Did you see?
Our sweet Kaylee
Just did say
Something fine—
She shares both the calendar day
And the time
Of birth
With your first!
Both did in March arrive
On day eight
At 10:10—
Isn’t that perfectly great!
Now, dearest Zen,
We joyously celebrate
Their shared thrill of being alive
On this special date.
Happy belated birthday, Kaylee, and many, many more!

CONGRATULATIONS to you,precious girl,and to all of your family and connections. So glad to be able to see the photos this morning!! Last night,the site came up for just long enough for me to read the first paragraph or two,but the picture never did come through and my repeated attempts to get the site back up again did not work–frustrating,but I went to sleep knowing YOUR BOY was here and that you two were fine,after crying my eyes out when I first read the news.
This morning,when I could see the two of you together,the tears came again! He is so beautiful,and so imprinted with both you and Bernie. And,WOW,those magnificent ears!!! Can’t wait for more photos today,and maybe the edited video. I can certainly understand that YOUR ANN and YOUR JERRY may wish to have those first moments and comments private, We are so blessed to share as much as we do!! Any photos and videos will be so cherished!!
The look of tenderness on your face when looking at YOUR BOY is priceless–he is SO lucky to have you as his mother and will grow to know how much he is loved by YOU,YOUR FAMILY and ALL OF US!!
Hope this new day will be one of the happiest in your life and we all look forward to continuing to share in your miraculous journey—LOVE YOU and YOUR PRECIOUS SON and hope that today you will both feel the sun on your back and a soft breeze to ruffle your manes.
Cheryl Holland
Yes I’m loving that Z, Eblouissante, and the prince ALL have “The Ears” — beautiful family! <3 <3 <3

(Here’s my version of Stevie Wonder’s song)
Isn’t he lovely
Isn’t he wonderful
Isn’t he precious
Less than one day old
Isn’t he pretty
Truly the angel’s best
We are all so happy
We have been heaven blessed
I can’t believe what God has done
The Creator has given life to one
Isn’t he lovely
Zenyatta’s little son
All our hearts are won
Zenyatta, it could have not been done
Without you who conceived the one
That God so very lovely made and knew before the world begun
