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!

At first thought was Zenny, but then I saw the tail not so long and knew it was Baby Z

Motherhood sure suits our Zenny…she looks happy and just fabulous! Everything that happens to her she handles like a pro and never seems to look back. What a life lesson she can teach us. 13Z is a real charmer. He looks so serene in these photos..but then he’s near mom. Who wouldn’t be calm and happy standing next to our Queen.
To the great Mosses, many thanks for the video of 12Z. He will soon be off for initial training. It’s going to be so much fun following his progress. You guys are he greatest. I am so glad Zenny chose you as owners. :-)

@Team Z. and LE–thank you so much for these wonderful updates. My very favorite is you, Zenny, lying down, looking very pensive, while little 13Z nuzzles the side of your head. Too cute! And isn’t it amazing how fast 12Z has grown? I’m sure the next year will fly by as quickly as this one did. SO thankful that all are well.
@All who have been following Jericho–I have a 6-second video of Skip and Jericho bonding. Hoping all is going well. Have no idea how to put on FB, as it is rotated sideways in the e-mail. Maybe it’s already up. Thanks to all who have prayed and sent good wishes.

This little colt Z13, seems to be a totally different type of personality than Z12, seems more timid and reserved, which might mean look out later when he gets older. I hope all goes well for this little man, can’t wait to see pix of him when he’s a little older from a full side view. He has a lot of growing to do…
Zenyen
Timid and reserved?
Maybe when he was less than 1 day old. ;)
In his more recent ‘one week+’ pictures he is showing a very independent and forward attitude. For a week old foal, he is quite a distance away from Zenyatta in the latest Instagram picture and quite bold in checking out the camera and human behind it.
I think Zenyatta is going to have her hooves full with trying to keep 13Z out of mischief!
Ann NC
Thank you!!!!
I love them all.
13Z, you are very very special.

Thanks TEAM Z for the wonderful pictures of Zenyatta, the angelic and sweet 13Z, whom I personally would like to see stay a Chestnut, and our ever so impish Prince!
So much going on with breeding selections, 12Z growing up so quickly and of course all of the new explorations of 13Z. Zenyatta, once the standing alone at the center of our world, has given us so much more to enjoy. She is truly the gift that just keeps on giving.
Thank you so much for sharing her with the world!!!

OH THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!! Great pics of the new little Prince. He is adorable. And….who could forget our 1st prince Z12. They really are the Prince William and Prince Harry of the Equine World :) Right down to the red hair….lol.
Can’t wait to see more….Zenny looks so wonderful.

Thank You, Team Z for the wonderful photos & video. So happy all is well with Zenny & her adorable new colt. I can’t get over how much Z12 has grown. He sure looks like his Mom. Can’t wait to watch the progress of the little one over the coming months.
Amyk
Precious little “pumpkin pants”! Bet Ann and Jerry can’t wait to get back to see their “Z Family”. I know we can’t wait for more photos. Thanks as always for letting us be “aunts and uncles”.

Cheers Debbie

Thank you so much for the pictures and video Ann, Jerry and the Lane’s End Team!! 13Z and Zenny are bonding so beautifully. She is the best Mom. He is beyond precious and reminds me so much of his Mom with that blaze. It was great to see 12Z also. He certainly can run across that field!! He is growing by leaps and bounds. I cannot wait to see him full grown.
Sharyn
Gorgeous pictures – never get enough of them!! He’s so sweet and Zenyatta looks great!
Cathy
He’s so big already! Love seeing the photos, and thanks so much for posting them!

Oh thank you, thank you, thank you and many more thanks!!! I was definitely going through withdrawl!! The red prince and PrinceZ look so healthy and wonderful! Can’t wait to see Zenny outside with the new prince.
You are the BEST Team Z!!

I’ll echo all the thanks to LE staff and Team Z for the latest pictures and video. The new little red kid looks wonderful! Zenny does too, but then again, that’s a given. Thanks again!
Ann Maree / Tennessee
Cuteness alert! Wow! What a beauty 13Z is! Have to nickname him “Blaze”, for now anyway. We will be able to see him from a mile away when he gets to the track! Thanks so much for keeping us up to date. This is truly a group type experience that so many of us have shared from the beginning. Thanks for giving us a community to “oooh” and “aaaahh” over our precious Z and her foals! I cherish every single tidbit!!!! Hugs to all!
Kathy
Zenyatta and her boys look great! What an engine on 12Z. Thanks, Mr. & Mrs. Moss and Lane’s End for your graciousness sharing the Queen and her colts.
Ronni
Wonderful pictures of Zenyatta and 13Z. And 12Z is such a handsome boy!!! Thanks for sharing!!
tony
All appears right in The Queen’s world judging from these pictures and the video of our “Prince”. The new kid seems to be curious, like mom and sure inherited her good looks.
Marlaine Meeker
Can never say enough of how much news and pics mean. Thank you Team Z. Zenyatta is looking absolutely georgous for a new Mom. What a great job they’re doing with everyone. I’m so happy!!
Kalar
He is soooo cute! He looks like he could go roan when he gets older. :)
Mary in Boone, NC
Thank you Mr. & Mrs. Moss, Team Z, Alys, and Team Lane’s End!!!!!!!!!!!!
I certainly did enjoy these photos of our Queen, our Prinz, and Z13.
Z13 looks so mature and wise in the paddock photos. In one of the photos with his Mama, he looks like he wants to say “I love my Mama so much.” Zenyatta looks healthy and content and looks very happy to see the Mosses.
You made this Sunday very special!!
Would be nice to have a Mother’s Day shot with Zenyatta and both her sons. However, I realize that is impossible since Prinz is traveling a different path now. It is just this Godmother watches him do so with tears as well as smiles.
Take care,
Mary

Wonderful pictures. What a tender, loving pair mother and son are.
13Z has the family ears. They are just a different color than we’re used to.
Nice to see 12Z thriving (not that I expected anything different).
