2017 would not have been complete without a holiday trip to Kentucky. We stocked up on mints and flew to Lane’s End for quality time with Zenyatta and her Medaglia d’Oro filly. Today we’re sharing our photos of Zenyatta. In parts 2 and 3 we’ll cover the filly and her paddock mates plus some news about the one and only Cozmic One!

Thank you Ann and Kyle for all the beautiful photos.
I enjoy seeing photos of Ann and Zenyatta together; their bond, love for each other and happiness being together are very evident in the photos.
I am looking forward to seeing the photos of Z17 and Coz.
May 2018 bring God’s blessings and only life’s best to all of Team Z and Lane’s End as well as to Coz as he begins his new career.

Ann certainly looks fabulous, as does Queen Z!
Best wishes to all for a wonderful new year!?
Renee
I’m so curious about the name your filly will get. You have such great gold to work with with her parents’ names!
Or maybe something not from either but completely unique!
Blessings :)

A post on this blog with updates and pics of our Queen always brightens my day.
Zenyatta looks, healthy, happy and “full of life”. Ann always looks wonderful and also so happy when she is with her Zenyatta. I look forward to parts 2 and 3, sure wish they would post pics and updates on Ziconic, too.

Thank you sooo much for all you and your husband have done for racing AND, excellent care of your horses! Of course Zenyatta is not your everyday horse but, neither are her off spring. When I’m having a bad day I turn my videos on of the Queen and life is fine again! Wishing you and yours a happy, healthy and Blessed New Year!

Dear Sheena:
I think Frankel’s babies’ success would have been beyond Sir Henry’s expectations. RIP Sir. Goodnight. Love and Hugs, JB, LM and all the Sweeties

So happy to see Zenny and Ann together they have a magic relationship. Heard the news about Coz and I’m happy for him…..hope he knocks their socks off jumping or in dressage. He was her first and will always be very special to me. Love to all sue

Love seeing the pictures of Zenny and the reprise of Ann the elf! As others have said, seeing them makes me feel like I am in a little corner of the world where all is right! Thanks so much to Ann, Kyle, others of Team Z, and the folks at Lane’s End for this New Year’s treat! Looking forward to the next installment where I’m betting our “little filly” is anything but “little” anymore! :-)
Marshall (NC Broad)
Well said, Sandy. :-)
I wholeheartedly agree! Z’s world is a comforting refuge — Ann and Zenyatta always lift our spirits. Good medicine for sure!
Hugs and Love

Sandy–Sorry I haven’t ben able to communicate with you until now. I now have a new computer and I will be returning to the blog. I miss the old days and I remember well Z’s win in the Breeders Cup Classic, still the greatest race I ever saw. Thank you so much for your Christmas card. Warmed up an otherwise cold day last December. Hope all of my old friends are doing well.
Martha
Hello everyone. Did I miss something? I saw a post with verbiage that Ziconic would be starting a new journey? Was this simply a mistake? Did someone mean Coz instead? Hm. Zenyatta does indeed look happy and as usual gorgeous. I will be eagerly awaiting Parts Two and Three.
Dee in the Hudson Valley
Thank you, Kyle, you made my day!
Always such a treat to see new photos of our beloved Zenny, looking as beautiful as ever. Especially love that shot of her regal profile!
Never fails to warm my heart to see Ann with a big, gorgeous smile bonding with her girl…

What wonderful pictures of Zenyatta and “her” Ann. Zenyatta looks happy, healthy, content and has the most awesomely wise eyes. Did any of you all ever think that this great mare and her children would become such a part of our lives? Seeing her photos first thing in the morning brighten all these ugly gray winter days. Good health to her, Ann, Ziconic, Coz little 17Z and the little one on the way.

Dear Judy.We all miss Sir Henry in the UK he was a flawed genius but we loved him even more for the error of his ways.To me he will always be a class act.
Hermes went missing again but was found safe and well.His humans went to collect him.He says he has lost his sense of direction!Goodnight God bless you LM PC HT and all the sweeties.Love and hugs SheenaX

Hi Zenny + Team Z!!
Beautiful photos of my Big Girl. Thank you Kyle. And I always love seeing Ann with her girl because the bond they share is so precious and it even shines through the camera.
It will be great to catch up with Z17: I bet she’s growing up (too!) fast!!! And more news on Coz in his new career. How great is that! Thank you to everyone involved for giving Coz a chance to shine and find the winner within himself.
Happy New Year everyone! My shoulder is still on the mend so I still must be careful about the time I spend typing!
Love & hugs to Zenny and her family and to all here. Z Princess and Baby Boy — aleways close to my heart.
