Happy Friday!
Spring is in full swing at Lane’s End! We spent the earlier part of the week in Kentucky visiting Zenyatta and her two boys.
13Z is quite a frisky and independent colt. He’s equally interested in greeting visitors and cruising around the paddock with his mom. You’ll see them running together in the video at the end of this post.
Coz, who is now a very handsome yearling, was always waiting at the fence to greet us.
There are so many more photos from this visit, and we’ll be putting up brand new photo galleries next week.
Enjoy!

OH – I was going to say Z13 looks like a little Secretariat !!!

Beautiful photos of Queen Z and her bouncy baby boy! I agree he looks a little like Secretariat. I hope our Queen and her sons are happy and healthy regardless of their career.
Patty
AH! I thought he looks a lot like Secretariat as well. Maybe he’s back…

Ann Maree / Tennessee
Coz is magnificent! He is looking so mature! Wow! Please include some training videos and photos when he goes to the Mayberrys!!!! Cannot wait!!
Zenyatta is truly the gift that keeps on giving! Tears of joy and happiness!

I am such a nitwit! Coz is so big that i thought he was his Mom!!! Failed to see the star. I’m hopeless.
SharonAtlanta
That makes 2 of us! I had to look back again and only then did I notice That there was a star without a stripe. He looks so much like his mom. 13Z is quite the little man. Can’t wait to see more pic’s of all of them. Team Z, Ann and Jerry, my heartfelt thanks for letting us stay connected to Zenyatta and her offspring. I know this will carry over to them as they move through their lives, whether they race or not. To me, as long as they are safe and sound is the important thing, not what they do for a living.

Dear Sharon:
Me too. Most important thing. Love and Hugs, JB
Jan S. / Houston
I also thought it was Mama Z. COZ really looks like his mama. And a bit like his gorgeous daddy!

Barbara Wood (Texas)
And will we ever forget that I was the first to confess that I thought “diastu in tempe” was Latin? LOL!!
Pam
I thought the very same thing! It took me a moment to realize that this horse didn’t have a blaze. Wow! Coz sure does look like his mom.
judy berube from Rhode Island
Dear Barb W.:
You’re not alone. I thought it was Z with Ann at first too. He’s looks like her; so gorgeous. Hugs, JB
Terry Crow
The picture of Coz with Ann is priceless. The video is amusing.
Marilu V
Love the pictures and video. Happy Friday to all!
Thanks for sharing.

Happy Friday to all. These photos and especially the video filled me with joy!! It’s the greatest feeling to see Zenyatta and the red prince so happy. That Coz is looking so grown up and I love that he is interested to see the people who come to see him. These just made my day and I look forward to more and more and more……..
Thank you so very much Team Z and Lane’s End.
Deborah Mleczko
What’s better than that? I might watch it 100 times. I LOVE Zenyatta! To see them running exactly together is awesome! I love spring too!
How does Z react to all her people: Ann, Jerry, Mike Smith, etc.?
Barbara Wood (Texas)
Forgot to say congrats to Bullet Catcher (otherwise known as the roadside uunner) on his win today.

carol in arkansas
If I had known this was coming ….the grocery shopping could have waited ….
Zenny you look fabulous ….and you have not lost a step…
Coz….most seem to think you look like mom….but I see some B in your head…otherwise all I see is V…but no one has ever accused me of knowing much…
BlazZenRed…you have confidence to spare ….mom must be credited for this….I think you will be grow to be bigger than Coz…by about a hand…and that stride…enjoy your babyhood…be good to mom…she is a gift from above..
Again thanks to the incredible Mosses whose generosity in sharing Z with us all is boundless and to all at LE who help to make it posdible
Hugs to all

Ha ha – you and me both Carol! All I have to do is go out for a bit, and “things happen!!”
HeidiK Vallejo,Ca (In Awe)
Wow, Wow, Wow!!! I love the pic of Coz with Ann. Seems like they’re having a conversation. He is stunning and looks so much like Zen and V! Handsome young man!! And, Zapit, what can I say?? Everyone that makes reference to Big Red, I think you’re right! This foal is gorgeous and so well balanced even at less than a month old. I can’t stop looking at the pics and the video. Love Zens waving tail! She’s so happy as a Mom, Love you Zenny and you’re growing family!! Royalty all the way!!
Sophia
I love Z’s almost arabian tail carriage!She looks amazingly healthy and happy,kudos to LE!And little “Zapit” (as I love to call him) is going to be quite the stunner!Coz is so handsome,the striking image of his momma!
Vampressqueen Sue Colvin /NJ
i just love the pics & video.
THX SOOO MUCH LE!
prince red has this look to him saying “watch out world, here i come. look at me”

@vicky b: loved the poem you posted on the prev blog. it brought tears to my eyes.
@marty r: still praying for you.

I was also thinking 13Z reminds me of the mighty Secretariat. something about the fire in his eyes, and of course the chestnut color/3 white socks. If you look at Secretariat’s 6 months old jockey photo, this baby looks almost like him in the way he stands and how aware he seems to be. I hope he runs like Secretariat. Thanks to Team Z and Lanes End.
Allen
Love the pictures. Zenny you make pretty babies.
Susan Ladmer
13Z is showing an efficient stride already. A very good sign for his later racing.
The little guy keeping up with his mother isn’t as hard as it would seem as he has almost the leg length of a full grown horse but none of the body weight.
Zenyatta looks great. It is so good to see her sound and happy and all those dapples . . .
Gloria
Thank you for the photos. Love them! Zenyatta still dappled. I love that these two share the same birthday.
Sandy (Northeast Ohio) PUR, PUJ
I’m out of adjectives so I guess I’ll just stick with WOW!!! Another absolutely spectacular treat. Thank you so much to Team Z and everyone at Lane’s End for the gorgeous photos and video. Coz (it’s SO hard not to say Prince) looks so grown up and handsome, and the little red prince is just . . . . hmmmm . . . . I guess I’ve already used spectacular but that’s what keeps popping up in my brain. Seeing them run together and all of his poses that are just like his Mom – really, they just bring tears to my eyes. Note to videographer – if you wanted to let the camera run just a titch longer, we wouldn’t mind :-)
maryp ny
Sandy,
I’m with you….”a titch longer” would be a treat for all of us. Love your post, I think all the adjectives available have been used for Zenyatta, little red prince and Coz on this blog! We’ll keep them coming for sure.
Candace from Canada
Thx for the video. Zen sure has two beautiful sons. Looks like they are both practicing to follow in mom’s footsteps. Coz has grown into a magestic colt. I love how he’s holding his tail up while running with z13. He looks so proud of his little brother. Spring is in the air at Lanes End.
Melodie Holliday
She’s looking great and so settled into motherhood. Her colts seemed to have inherited her love of people and inquisitive, alert mind. All, healthy and content – can’t ask for more. The Moss team and Lane’s End know are so generous to share with us.
Delrene in Carlsbad, Ca
I’m gonna beat you Mama, I will, I will!!!! Oh my gosh, cuteness overload. So thrilled to see all these pictures and the video???? Icing on the cake. Thanks so much Team Zenyatta. She still could beat the pants off anyhorse, I just know it. Retired or not. Look at her. She exudes health and happiness. Baby Z 13 and Cozmic One…. Such handsome colts.
Made my day, for sure…… Everyone have a wonderful weekend.

Joy….that’s the word that comes to my mind immediately when looking at these latest photos…absolutely phenomenal photographs.
My best wishes to Team Zenyatta now and in the future – the future looks mighty bright!
Much love,

judy berube from Rhode Island
Dear Sheena:
Love your post. I just watched the video again (lost count how many times I’ve watched it). The little guy is actually trying to keep up with Mom. COZ is getting more and more gorgeous in every photo; filling out nicely. Love and Hugs, JB
Terry McNamee
That is one exceedingly handsome colt! I hope he stays chestnut, like Secretariat and Man O’War. And Eclipse……
I am very impressed and I hope he lives up to his looks and his fantastic pedigree. Well done, Zenny!
Joanna from TX
The pictures….feast for the eyes and the soul. Thanks Team Z. I’m just waiting to get home from work to see the video (can’t from here), but the stills are fabulous.
The boys look grand, Zenny. Your people picked good boyfriends for you. I have to say I adore that little red-head, but then I’ve been a big fan of his daddy for a while now.
Blessings to all and safe travels.
Leslie R.
Thank you for the great pix and vid!!! I love seeing Zenyatta and her two boys. Coz is getting big and he’s gorgeous and 13Z is just too cute for words. What a boy!
Hugs to all,
Leslie
Jan S. / Houston
WOW WEE! What a gorgeous family. COZ looks so mature & very handsome.. 13Z is a spit fire already. There’s gonna be no stopping him!! And Mama Z cannot look any more beautiful & regal. ;-);-) The video is so cool too.
AmandaF
Looks like Z has already started Z13’s training. LOL Cozmic One looks so much like Vertigineux but I do now see a bit of Bernardini in him with a lot of Z. I don’t think Z13 could be any cuter.
Mary - Lynchburg, Virginia
The pictures are awesome and the video is adorable. Z still looks like she glides through the air……so beautiful….and her colt is doing great keeping up with mom……he is so cute. Thank you over and over for sharing with us!!!
Pamela M
I just love being able to follow the lives of these horses. It is such a great gift to Zenyatta’s admirers! Coz has such an air of kindness about him. Will he have a ferocious will to win or will he try his best just to please? The Red Prince already has an arrogance about him. It was so beautiful to see him galloping, his leg exactly parallelling Zenyatta’s. He really has ‘The Look’ already. His hindquarters look enormous! Thank you so much Team Zenyatta. She is so very much loved by so many.
