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!)

What a precious baby boy! He’s gorgeous! His muzzle and ears look so much like his mommy’s. I’m so so glad that you did so well during the delivery. Thank God! I get tears in my eyes when I watch you kissing your precious boy! Congratulations Zenyatta, little Prince, Bernardini, the Mosses, the Sherriffs, Team Z and all LE wonderful people. I love you Zenyatta.

Zenny you have made my day a little brighter. I lost my 17 year old cat this morning & to hear that you have a healthy colt is good medicine. Maybe he will be the one to break the Triple Crown drought.

So Sorry to hear about your cat. I am a cat lover and had mine for 18 great years and I now know she is waiting for me at Rainbow Bridge. Like Kelly said “what a day of mixed emotions”. At least Queen Z and her beautiful colt will help to ease your mind.
Sending hugs and blessings your way.

Congratulations to all! Your foal is adorable and looks so much like you! Thank you for posting the video! How very gracious of Mrs. Moss to film your foals very first moments!

Thanks for the email Team Z… I planned to stay up till I got some news. Your baby looks exactly as I hoped, your fabulous ears and poka-dot feet blended with Bernie’s shiney dark coat. So perfect. Wow! So sweet how you welcomed him with your warm and loving kisses. This little boy will have the best Mom ever. But then we all knew that was a forgone conclusion. Ann and Jerry may be too excited to sleep tonight!

Zenyatta, what a good looking colt. Looks like he will have more of your build than Bernardini’s. His markings are just so Zenyatta. When I first mentioned the Full Moon, I didn’t get much of a response, but later the Zensters really got into the howling. What a cute Moon Bunny. Even though our weather is clouded over, think I’ll go outside and make one last howl in celebration of your newborn. Thank you for sharing this wonderful event.

Congrats to Zenny and all of her connections. And thanks to the Mosses and the Sherriffs for making this web journal and videos all possible.
What a beautful baby boy; he looks so much like his magnificent mom. It sure was a thrilling Zenny finish. We were all on the edge of our seats.

Congratulations!!!! You are now officially a MOM! It’s easy to see that you’re going to be as good in your new off-track role as you were on the track. Here’s hoping you and the little Prince get some rest tonight so you can start showing your little one this big new world he’s now in tomorrow. Sleep Well Pleasant Dreams. OK now its time for Tasty. I know you’re really busy now, but please ask Dottie to try and keep us updated on her.

Congratulations, Zenny!! I had a feeling when I saw that big FULL MOON tonight…I remember something about nurses saying how busy the maternity wards are during the full moon! He’s beautiful–just like you and his daddy! We’re just bursting with joy!! Bless you, little one! And your mama, and everyone who loves you!
Darlene Daniels
Dear Zenny, He’s PERFECT. JUST LIKE YOU. I LOVE YOU BOTH SO MUCH!!!

Leave it to you, Zenyatta to deliver right near the end of the Full Moon day. You kept us waiting, but What a Finish!! The video of you giving kisses to your little one is so precious. May the equine angels watch over you and your colt. A big thanks to Dottie for keeping us as calm as was possible during this what seemed like an eternity. Now for the fun. A Guinness toast to you Queen Zenyatta, your colt, your family, Dottie, John and all of your connections for making this such an incredibly heartwarming experience.
Sarah
He is so cute!!!!!!!!!
