Happy Wednesday!

November has been quite the month for Team Z. We’ve been busy finalizing the Celebration results, stuffing envelopes, and planning a product launch for the Shop just in time for the holidays (hint, hint).

We’re proud to announce that the first ever Zenyatta.com Celebration raised over $10,000 for Thoroughbred Rehab Center, Inc. We couldn’t be happier with Zenyatta’s fans that contributed by purchasing the event’s signature Celebration Sticker or by bidding in our online auction. All of the stickers were mailed yesterday, and auction items will be shipped by end of the week. Look for yours soon!

As we previously mentioned, we decided to pick five winners for our Grand Prize, An Invitation to Meet Zenyatta. A complete list of winners is below.

Our next post will be all about Coz, with photos and video from our trip to Mayberry Farm.

Enjoy!
-Team Z

    Congrats to all the winners. You’re so lucky getting to visit Z. Just so you know, I live in Lexington, so if any of you need someone to tag along with them I’m your girl!

    Congratulations to the winners! Of course I am envious of those getting to meet the Queen but I am even more thrilled and happy for them. I know it will be a wonderful experience. Thank you so much for the photos. It’s lovely to see Ann and Zenyatta so happy. I’m looking forward to hearing about the visit with Coz. Doesn’t Zenyatta have the most beautiful eyes?

      Thanks, Marshall. My mutts are posted by the front door, ready to let out their barks when the treat arrives! Happy, happy, joy, joy!
      Congrats to all winners and those lucky to visit Zenny…ENJOY!
      As always, thank you Team Z and Lanes End for being so wonderful to the fans! Precious photos above, too, thanks.

        I wondered too Ann and was just about to look into this. HUGE congrats – are you telling WHICH print it is? (Maybe there was only one – I didn’t get to see the details while it was happening). Keep those dogs at the ready :-)

        • Ann-Wonderful that you won. I couldn’t be happier. Just wish you could be visiting Zenyatta. You deserve it.

        Good for you, Ann. I have a signed Zenyatta print from when they first came out, and you could buy them from Santa Anita. I feel good when I look at it. Yours will be even more special. Moose, little Moose and Goose will moo their approval along with the barking dogs. Congrats.

    I love the look on Zenyatta’s face as she waits patiently for Mr. Moss to get the peppermint unwrapped… she’s so sweet and polite. My horse would’ve had it out of my hand and devoured it wrapper and all, probably without even chewing it.

    Congratulations to Team Z for raising such an impressive sum… all your hard work really paid off. And congratulations also to all the winners of the auction items and especially the Grand Prize of getting to visit Zenny… you LUCKY people!

    Thank you Team Z for all you continue to do for all of us, and congratulations on your successful Z celebration. Congratulations to all the winners. To any of you going to see Zenyatta, please give her a hug and a message from me. I love her and hope someday to see her too.

    Dear Zenyatta, you look more beautiful than ever. Love to all.

    Looking forward to the pictures and video of Coz.
    Love the pic of Ann with Zenyatta’s baby bump.
    Now, will be waiting for update on our other boy.

    And really looking forward to the product launch at the Shop.

    Thank you so much Team Z for raising all of the money for such a worthy cause.
    And many congratulations to all of the winners. What a wonderful gift! We’ll be thinking of you all on your trips to visit YOU Zenyatta. This is such a kind and generous community here on YOUR website, Zenny! Thanks to you, Jerry and Ann Moss and everyone at Lane’s End for making this such a wonderful autumn! God’s blessings everyone.

    November 21 Cherokee Devotional

    Have you ever said you felt “foggy-headed”? Just like the morning fog that blurs the edges of the barn, the woods, the animals as we look out our window, mental fog hides the fine edges and full color of our lives. But just as the sunlight and warmth remove the haze that clouds the morning, it is the light and warmth of the Spirit that breaks through our fog and reveals the splendor of all. Then we hear the joyous music of life and it lifts us out of our lethargy.

    The riches we have we cannot take with us.
    -Red Cloud, Sioux

    Congratulations to all the winners to be able to visit Zenyatta. Please take pictures to share with everyone. She’s just so very fine to look at. I’m loving my photo I purchased and the poster (which is being framed) and I can’t wait to get it back. So happy that Ann and Jerry are still sharing their champion with her fans. Can’t wait for the update on Coz and of course any news on Lil’ Red will be cherished also. Smoochies to Zenny!

    Team Z, Lanes End, Ann & Jerry, thankyou for having the Zenyatta Celebration and Congratulations to the winners to see Queen Zenyatta and 13z!!! I am very happy for the Thoroughbred Rehab Center receiving such a nice donation. I can not wait for my Z sticker!
    It is unmistakable when you look at Ann touching Z’s tummy; there is so much love.

    Because of you Zenyatta you have made so many lives brighter. I will not give up on seeing you my beautiful love.
    hugs to all, Sally B

    Dear Kathy I’m “foggy headed most days!When I lived at my old place ,my cat Katie would call me early every morning and there was no greater joy than hearing the dawn chorus especially on a lovely summer’s morning. Boo looks very cute today and Ray snuggling with Jack O. Hugs to you and kisses for the puppy pack Sheena

      Dear Sheena,

      That’s a mighty pretty word picture you paint. Loved Boo’s pic, he’s so adorable! Ray as well. His “people” get some great shots of him and his bruddahs. Happy Friday Eve!

      Hugs from me, kisses from “The Pack.”

    Congrats to all of the winners – if we would know you by a different name when you post here, I hope you will clue us in. I hope you all have a great time (and if somebody can take a +1 and doesn’t have one, please take Debbie G!). I can’t even imagine being able to meet our Queen, but hope springs eternal as they say.
    Thanks to Team Z and all the folks at Lane’s End for keeping us in the loop. Zenny’s baby bump looks pretty impressive already, and it is always nice to see her with her Mom and Dad. I can’t wait to hear more about Coz in training, but as many others have said, we haven’t seen a picture of our little red prince for a long time – we NEED an update!!!

    ♥ I smile every time I see mother Ann and daughter, Zenyatta, together! What a match made in Heaven :-)

    Congrats to the winner’s of all the prizes! I don’t recognize any names, but to those of you who get to visit Zenny, you’re going to be star struck. She’s gorgeous and loving as always :-) She still loves the attention and admiration of her fans. Soak it in!!!!

    I look forward to the updates on COZ. What a special First Born Prince he is. Thank you Ann and Jerry, Lane’s End, and Mayberry for sharing Royality with us.

    Congratulations to all the lucky recipients and auction winners. Wow. You will be close to our all-time favorite Mom to be. Thank you Lane’s End and to the Moss’s for their continued generosity in sharing Zenyatta with her adoring fans. Looking forward to the piece on Cozmic One.

    I can’t wait for my sticker. Wish I’d won the coffee mug auction. And I can’t hardly wait on that new foal. War Front with Zenyatta=it will be the prettiest one. Am anxiously awaiting new update on my favorite baby, Coz. Hugs and kisses to Zen, dumplings, and Zsters.

    Congratulations to all the lucky winners. I know you will all give the Queen the love and affection she deserves for all of us.

    On a personal note I had a freak accident at my home last night. My cat, Cotton, saw the tv reflection in the window and ran headlong into the glass. The window broke right in half but it didn’t shatter. She wasn’t injured but I still haven’t recovered from the scare.

    Wow, congrats to all the lucky winners! I was not able to participate in the Zenyatta celebration as I was at the Breeders Cup.

    I truly love you Zenyatta and I hope I can be a part of the celebration next year!

    Love your #1 fan in Montana!

    Congratulations to the winners. Those of you who are so lucky to meet Zenyatta, have a wonderful time. As others have requested, it would be greatly appreciated if you could post some pictures of your visits. I was hoping to win, but maybe another time. In the meantime, I will enjoy my sticker. Can’t wait for it to arrive.

    Thanks Team Z for the update and the pictures of Zenyatta with Ann and Jerry. I am excited for the next update about Coz. How is 13Z doing? Haven’t seen him in a while.
