Happy Monday!
We thought it would be nice to start the week with photos from last week’s visit to Lane’s End. Ann and Jerry went to see Zenyatta and her colt with bags of carrots in tow. Both Z and her son are doing well, enjoying the crisp Kentucky fall air. Zenyatta is healthy and happy, and 12Z is growing fast!
Enjoy!

Boy, you can sure feel the love in these photos. What a pleasant suprise for Monday
morning. Zennie looks great and 12Z looks SO BIG.
Thanks so much for the great pictures and update.

Oops! That should be surprise not suprise.
Also, wanted to say I love the “Family Photo” of Ann, Jerry and Zennie.

What a wonderful way to start a Monday & the week!
Thank you so much for these great photos.
So much shared love-Zenyatta & 12Z and Ann & Jerry!
It pours off the page and into my heart and home.
Happy Holidays to the Mosses, Lane’s End Team & Team Z!

Tears of joy to see these pix!!!! THANK YOU?!!!

What beautiful and LOVING photos! Ann, you can see how much Zenyatta loves you in EVERY photo that is published!
Baby Z is just spectacular looking! How much longer will he remain at Lane’s End (if anyone knows)? And will he go to Camden, Palm Meadows or where for the beginning of his training?
Holiday wishes to all!

Given that there is no rush to get him ready for sales (the Mosses are not about to sell him!!) and no rush to get him onto the track, my guess is he’ll stay at Lane’s End until the fall of 2013.
I am basing this off the fact that Fall 2013 will be when most of his yearling buddies will be going through the sales rings at Fasig-Tipton and Keenland and Lane’s End will be looking for the class of 2012 to move on, so to speak and make room for the 2013 weanlings/rising yearlings.
So when his buddies go off to the sales, 12Z will most likely move on to the facility that will handle his breaking to saddle and basic under tack manners. Once there, he may not actually start formal schooling until Spring of 2014, depending upon his physical and mental development.

Thank you! Brings tears to my eyes these are wonderful photos!!!!!!!
Gloria
Wow, what a great way to start my morning. Thank you for the pictures. Junior is getting SO big. I think I say that every time I see new pictures of him. Love seeing Ann all snuggled up with Big Mama Z. She is the most beautiful horse…EVER! I miss her so much! Happy Holidays to all!
Amy
12Z is just amazing. Hope you guys keep him and race him like his momma.
Karla
Wow! BabyZ does not look much like a baby anymore! He is gorgeous… really growing into himself and losing that gangling yearling look…. Z looks awesome too and can’t wait to see what she delivers… what is her due date? Are we gonna be on baby watch with this one too… I sure hope so. I need to get a matte Z12 baby to go with my matte Zenyatta – my glossy colt is just stunning and I am so glad I was able to get one! Thanks for the pictures and updates… both horses look just stunning. How soon does BabyZ go to training?

What a great Christmas time visit. You can tell that Zenyatta knows her family and seems so proud in the first shot as she stands and shows her new figure off to Ann, Isn’t Zenny glowing! She is filling out so well with her new foal. Seems crazy that just yesterday we were waiting for Z12 to arrive and now in just a few short months Z13 will arrive. So excited to greet ” her” !!
Z12 looks so curious in the pictures and so big. Wonder if Ann and Jerry will name him soon.
Also big congratulations to Zenyatta’s sister Ebby for her maiden win! Wonderful race that sent chills up by spine. She is going to be another great Lady like her sister.
Christa Murray
He is just about as tall as my QH!! Have they named him yet??
Sue MacGray
Thanks so much for the new pictures. Zenyatta looks fantastic and her ‘little’ one does, too. Hard to believe she’s getting close(r) to birthing another beautiful baby. It’s been fun to follow the family…. Now we have Eblouissante to watch, while waiting for Baby Z to grow up. And then we’ll have pics of Z’s new one in several months. I’m so glad that they are all in the hands of loving owners and a patient trainer :)

Thank you so much. I feel like I was invited to share your visit with you. You make
a lot of people so happy.
Nancy S. Happy Holidays to all who love all creatures.
Susan Dearing
Beautiful photos, thanks for sharing!
My name suggestion for 12Z: Synchroniciti
He is growing up to be a big boy, for sure!
Dawn Deems
Thank you, thank you for these photos! The ones of Ann and Zenny are priceless. You can feel the mutual love.
I almost didn’t recognize 12Z. He is HUGE! They both look amazing.
Thank you again, and Happy Holidays to the Mosses and the entire Lanes End family.

Interesting the top pic is a mirror image to the Breeder’s Cup Gold picture done by Jaime Corum to the right of it. Love, love, love to see the Mosses’ visits, how much love they have for Zenny and now her firstborn, and how much Zenny loves them. And Judy Sims is right – 12Z is getting BIG! Hard to believe Zenny will be giving birth again in just a few months, but that top pic sure shows how far along in foal she is. Great shots – thank you again, Lanes End and the Mosses, for allowing us along for the visual ride, as it were. If we can’t see them in person, at least we get to see them in photos. I, for one, am very grateful for that.

I saw the same thing and wondered if it was positioned there on purpose. It is lovely.
I hope someone can post comparison photos of Zenny at the same stage of her pregnancy. I sorta feel she is a bit smaller, but would want to see both photos. Maybe a filly? Another wowee Tapit baby girl?
Almost time for foal watch – – – yep – – – I know the regular peeps will be up all night again when the time comes, right Auntie Judy and Karen and Trina? :-)
Love and hugs, diastu in tempe

Diana,
At this point in her pregnancy she is still carrying the foal side to side, not head to tail and the foal is still carried up high. We would probably see more ‘baby bump’ in a head on shot but even then, Zenyatta is a BIG mare, the last thing anyone would want to see in early December is evidence of a BIG foal. That would be concern for a rough foaling.
Probably around end of January to early February when the foal begins to swing into position to be born, Zenyatta will then definitely look like she’s carrying.

So wonderful to see these photos. You can defintely see the love between the Mosses, Queen Zenyatta and Prince Z.
Makes my heart warm to see these pics.

What beautiful pictures!
Ann just glows when she sees Zenyatta
and I love where she is rubbing her pregnant belly.
What can one say about the handsome 12Z?
Ann and he have that same bond and affection.
