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!)

I knew I would be excited to hear this news when it came.
I didn’t realize that I would be sitting in my living room with tears streaming down my face.
I am so happy for you Z and baby!

Not to put the cart before the horse (pun intended lol) but anyone else gunna be dreaming about Z’s boy and Rachel’s Boy going head to head in the Derby in 3 years… totally possible right?? ;o)

Since Zenyatta and Bernardini both were slower developers in their racing careers, I’m not holding out for a 2 or 3 year old campaign for our new little guy. Zenny didn’t race until late in her 3 year old year, but who knows? We do know our little prince is going to be loved even if he can’t run a lick – lol! :)
Linda Fabiszak
LOL that is the first thing that crossed my mind when I saw the news.

Congratulations Sweet Precious Zenny!! Your Little Prince is so handsome. Welcome Prince Z.
Thank you so very much Ann for sharing the video and photos with us. We can never see enough photos of Zenny and now the Little Prince. Wishing that more photos will be posted soon. Thank you very much for sharing this special time with us. May God Always watch over YOU and your precious Baby Boy.
Love YOU OOOXXX
Sweet Dreams….
I will sleep so good tonight!!
alex
should name him born in to greatness
Margaret I'm ECSTATIC!!!!!
Geez, you guys I went looking and it does seem to be gone. My guess is this…they are probably trying to edit video now for us in the morning. I know that doesn’t help those of you who didn’t see it.
It was 50 secs long, and you saw Z constantly nuzzling the baby. At one point Z must have bumped him cause his head kinda jolted away. Nothing to be alarmed about.
We did not see him stand or nurse, so in this regard you didn’t miss anything.
Just the first few moments of who are you? Mom? It’s so good to finally see you!
Keep checking twitter and here. The people at backside 55 have gone to bed. Unlike those of us who are now feel wound up! It may yet come back.
