Team Z is in Kentucky for Zenyatta’s 8th birthday. We celebrated yesterday with Zenyatta, Baby Z and Lane’s End staff. Cards and gifts from the fans were highlights of the day, along with a very special birthday cake of pears and carrots. It was a rainy morning, but the sun came out just in time for the festivities. Baby Z got a kick out of all the attention and had just as much fun as his mom.
Everyone had a great time… no foolin’!
Here’s to another great year!

WOW!! What a week for the city of Lexington–The Cats just won the championship, Keeneland is opening for its meet, BUT most importantly, it is Zenyatta’s birthday. Happy Birthday, Zenyatta!!

It’s good to be the Queen! What a lovely birthday cake, somebody did a great job on that. Thanks for sharing LE, it’s such a good feeling to see Zenny so loved.
Delores Baker
Happy Birthday beautiful Z. I’m so glad everyone was there for your birthday.
Your baby Z is the cutest I’ve ever seen. You are so special. Thank you very much for sharing her birthday with everyone.
Marty R / Colorado
Wow!! What a great birthday celebration. Zenny looks like she’s actually reading the cards. I’m so glad the web masters were able to be there. If they had never met her before, now they should have a clear understanding of us crazy Aunties, Uncles, Nannies and Grannies and why we can never get enough of Zenny and now 12Z. (He sounded sooo cute in the background in the video.) Zenyatta is breathtaking, as usual!!
Thank you once again Mr. and Mrs Moss for sharing our Queen of Hearts with us and to Lane’s End for their accomodations to Zenyatta’s fans for these special occasions.

♥ HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY QUEEN! ♥
My card arrived later because I mailed it too late :-( but it so pretty ! just like YOU!
This is such a special birthday ~ your first one as a MOTHER – TOO CUTE!
On the topic of motherhood ~ I thought some of your fans would like to check out another “mother”. This is an eagle nest in Decorah, Iowa. This nest is used each year by the same “loving couple”. One of the babies turned a week old today :o). Yesterday, he/she ventured out of the bowl shaped nest and stayed there until sunset.

NOTE: All the eaglets hatched under the sign of Aries just like YOU!
Sending all my Love, and {{HUGS}} and peppermint kisses, Sweet♥ xoxoxoxo

Sincere thanks to those who made it possible for Zenyatta’s fans to enjoy those photos and videos. She’s a gorgeous animal and seems to be gleaming with good health. I love that she’s so sociable, and that we could hear the funny little whinny from her colt. Too cute! I’m so touched that Zenyatta’s team could visit for her birthday.

I am so happy you had a Happy Blessed Birthday, as only a Queen deserves. Thank you Ann and the Lanes End Team. You all are so goody to Zenyatta and her sweet baby. He sounds so precious. I love those baby sounds. It was so very nice of everyone to share your birthday. Many Blessings for many more birthdays. Love you Zenyatta and the little one. You make my day. Hugs & Kisses.

Thank you for sharing Zenyatta and baby Z with us. She looks the picture of health and contentment. Happy Birthday Zen.

Happy Belated Birthday Zenny! Z12’s little whinny in the background is sooo cute! I hope you got all the pears and carrots your heart desired! Love you, big girl!
@Trina – I love your poem!
@Sandy and Dawn – Thank you for the well wishes to my UK Wildcats! I think that having Big Brown, or Big Blue as he’s temporarily known, on our side sure helped us. I’m on cloud 9. We were the favorites to win the championship, but to actually have it happen is overwhelming. I’m leaving now to go to Rupp Arena for the fan celebration. Congratulations Wildcats!
Terry Crow
Debbie-Enjoy the glow of the championship, at least until football season starts.
Sarah
What fun! I’m sure Zenny loved her special carrot cake, and seemed the little prince was all too happy to share in the attention. That was the cutest little whinny! Thank you for the update with pics and videos! I always look forward to Z’s latest news! Happy birthday, Queen Z, and may there be many many more! :)
Snoprinz
Happy Birthday Zeny!!! I love you and always will. I wish you many, many years of good health and happiness.

Thank you, Team Z., for the great birthday celebration update! I can’t believe it’s the 8th birthday. Love the whinny from Baby Z., and the Queen looks as if she is reading the cards. What fun!
@donkeyhotey–glad you’re better!

What? No one knew how or thought about pointing the video camera at Baby Z? I’m going to whinny like the baby…only it’s a “whiny” whinny, because we need a nice new video of the kid romping and playing.

Dear Especially Horses:

Zennie, it was so good to see you again. You are still the sweetest mare ever. I heard your colt nicker, that was so grand to hear his dear voice. I love you both. Miss the daily goings on you… sherry

Thank you to the Mosses and Lane’s End for the videos. Zenyatta looks superb, as usual. And how appropriate that the sun came out just in time for the Queen’s party!

I so whated you to know I was thinking of you on your Birthday, but didn’t know how to leave you your B-greeting, so I left it on the forum..OH WELL,dummy me. The above entry wasn’t posted yet when I CHECKED Monday afternoon. anyway……
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR ZENYATTA, LOVE YOU.
the baby squeel was ever so wonderful, sounds like he likes the attention as much as you do.
I’m getting your poster framed this afternoon, not sure if going to be in the living room or in the bedroom.
greeting to all of you, stay well and stay safe

Just logged on for the day.
What a treat!!
Happy Birthday Zenyatta–heard the Happy Birthday from Z 12–TOO CUTE!
Thank you to the Mosses & Z team for the post.
Birthday hugs to all

Happy birthday Z. I can’t get these videos to play, it’s just a green screen, I do hear some words. Help what am I doing wrong???
Sue Fredrick - Wisconsin- Thankful
Mama Zen, so good to see birthday pics of you, LE’s great staff and know that Ann was there to celebrate your special day with that fabulous cake. Wish we could have seen your adorable baby with the donkey ears, (I love them to death) but to hear him yell “mama” from off camera was too cute. I wonder if he will grow into those ears, I hope not, they are just wonderful. The tweet of him singing to you was so funny, I just wanted to reach out and scratch those ears
SPECIAL THANKS TO THE MOSSES AND THE FABULOUS LANE’S END STAFF FOR TAKING CARE OF OUR GIRL AND 12Z, AND FOR SENDING US PICS AND VIDEOS OF THEM. WE LOVE TASTY TOO SO IF YOU CAN PLEASE SHOW US HER BABY.
Hugs, Auntie Sue
Ingrid Arnone

Happy birthday z may you and your foals always be happy and loved

Oh, Z, it’s just so GOOD to see you again. We all miss you so much and miss the diary, although we all understand why a vacation from it is necessary. Loved hearing the Crown Prince making his presence known. Wish we could have seen him as well. I wonder what he made of all of this. Maybe there will be some more pictures/videos of your birthday. Ann loves you so much and you her. It’s so very obvious and heart-warming to see. It must really bother her to leave you and 12Z to go back to CA even though that’s her home. Will John and Dottie be coming to see you as previously planned. Happy birthday, dear heart!
Carole Klumb #42 / Eagle, WI
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU ZENYATTA, it looks like you had a grand
time on your birthday and little 12z’s whinny is just TOO CUTE.
Hope you got lots of peppermints and pears, heard that is one of your favorites.
Hugs and kisses to you and baby z. XOXOXOXO
