Happy Sunday!
We can’t believe 13Z was born almost two weeks ago. We hear from the great people at Lane’s End that he and his mom are happy and healthy.
Alys sent us a few close-ups of the little one out in the paddock this week, and we wanted to share those along with some more photos from our last trip. We’ll be heading back to the farm in a week to visit Zenyatta and both of her colts (and to take lots of photos!).
And don’t forget 12Z! Here’s a video we shot on a gray morning during our last trip. Watch him take off across the paddock to join the rest of his herd.
Enjoy!

Thank you so much for the lovely pictures. Mare and foal look super. He’s a very expressive young man…. shows an air of self-confidence already. 12Z looks more like his mom every time his photos are updated. Can’t wait for more. Thanks again for thinking of us.
Brenda

They are beyond precious!

Its amazing how much baby z13 has changed in two weeks. Mom and son look great. Z12 is growing up and looks so much like his mom as he is growing up.
Thanks to Team Z, the Mosses and lanes End for taking time to keep us updated on these three .

does 13z have any white markings on his legs?
Eileen
I would love to see a video of 13Z running in the paddock. I want to see his leg color and if he has socks. Anyhow, thanks to team Z for this update.

Bravo! What great pictures of our new guy and video of his big bro. The “green tape” mystery continues, and I am really quite sure that he has not been in some type of “pull the halter” game (thus causing injury to said halter) at this stage :-). Would someone PLEASE tell us what the tape is about????
SO glad for this update and the news of another trip to KY in the offing for team Z for more photos and hopefully some video too. Thank you so much for easing our minds and letting us continue to follow the incredible saga of our Queen and her offspring. A true Sunday treat! Zenny, we’d love to know what you think of your second young man, but please know that we LOVE him (and you, and Prince!).
Alex Bowdoin in MA

What a beautiful chestnut baby. Photos of him and the Queen are lovely. No worries about anyone forgetting 12Z. He will always be the First Foal and we greatly appreciate being kept in the loop regarding his progress. He looks happy and wonderful. Thanks for the latest photos of both sons and their royal mother.

Up Oh Another Horse just bolted at Aqueduct……….Is there something in the air this weekend. Lo (Not as bad as yesterday, though)
I had always wondered from a horse riding expert, Is there any tip to stopping a horse that had bolted.
Zenyen
Depends upon the severity of the situation and what is around you, Peggy.
One method is to plant one hand/rein against their neck, take the other and pull back as hard as you can to bring their head around and force them into a turn. This can be dangerous if the horse is so far gone in either his determination or his panic that he just keeps running forward and trips over his own feet and ends tail over tea kettle.
You can stand up in the stirrups and saw back and forth with the reins but this is going to exhaust you quickly.
If you’re in an area that allows it, you can ride out the bolt, eventually the individual beneath you is going to run out of steam and then you can get control back.
If the horse is bolting out of a blind panic and you’re in a dangerous situation (near a busy road) you are best served to bail.
In the video from yesterday you saw an example of the rider ‘riding’ the bolt out because that was his safest option. He had the wide open track, the horse was being a knucklehead so trying to steer him somewhere to stop was probably not a safe option, the jockey was stable in the saddle and just ran him through it.

Peggy and Zenyen,
Here is what the jock said @ Bloodhorse. Horse went between the sitting gate and the outside rail…yikes!
“It was wild,” Perez said. “He didn’t give me any warning, especially the second time and went straight for the gate. My life went before my eyes for a few seconds. I was thinking about bailing but saw there was enough space between the gate and the rail to get through, so I grabbed his mane and hoped for the best.

How precious, Zenyatta just loves her baby so. Just Beautiful
Patti
Beautiful…we miss Zenyatta so much. Love it that you keep sharing her and her growing family. She is so beautiful and her foals are just perfect, too.
Pati- Derby Dreaming
Z12 covers a lot of ground. The first Prince is so handsome! They both are!
I hope HRTV gets out there eventually and videos Z12 full sprint across the pasture! That would be so exciting! And they can film little Z13 as well!
Pati- Derby Dreaming
From the angles of the pictures provided, Z13 looks like he has a very hammy neck. Even if he isn’t Big Red on the track, he’ll be big and red in build.
Casey
Both of the “grandkiids” look great & have their mother’s “way” about them. Love seeing her with her baby- she’s such a loving mama. Thank you for sharing!!!
Janet Newman
Beautiful pics of Z and her little guy.
12Z is maturing and I love both of the boys.
Each are different and will display that, but our Queen
will always be having offspring that will capture our hearts for ever!
Thanks to Ann and Jerry Moss, the crew at Lane’s End that takes
such excellent care of Z and her boys.
Monica
Beautiful babies! I love it too that they get to run around in such a beautiful pasture before they go to work!! The get to be horses!! :) thank you for sharing! :)
Wend;y
Great pictures of Momma Z and her boys! Looks like Z13 has The Ears, too! Thanks so much for posting.
Sarah Powell, Clemson, SC
So excited to see the new pics and a video of 12Z – hope to see a video soon of Zenny and 13Z out and about! Can’t ever get enough of Zenny and her babies!
Shari Voltz from Ohio
Thank you Lane’s End. I will share these with the children. The new Baby is so cute and Z12 is so handsome. This world is a better place because we have more of Zenyatta through her offspring. Thank you again for letting us be part of their world. Love, Shari and her 5th Graders

LOL after I watched the video again yesterday, I noted the foaling tag on the halter… duh! That’s Prince 12Z :-) His loving ways with Ann, and the way he too koff running, is proof once again that he IS his Mother’s Son ♥ !! He is so tall and handsome ♥
