Happy Wednesday!
While recently in Kentucky for the Keeneland Yearling sales, Dottie and John went by the farm to say hello to Zenyatta and to meet “Baby Z”. John was tickled when Zenyatta came right over to say hello, and watching baby 12Z running in the paddock with his friends was pure delight! It was great time for all.
Enjoy the photos from their visit!

Thanks for sharing! Z is as beautiful as ever and when 12Z grows into his ears, he will be spectacular!
Ann Maree / Tennessee
Me, too about the ears! Boy, when he grows into those ears, he is going to look like a locomotive!!!

I think 12 Z is already to be a stallion, TEE HEE !!!
Great cute, semi confromation photo. He is really getting lean and tall.
Zenny you and Bernie made a beautiful baby !!!

12 Z ears are now bigger than his head, EARnie, Too Cute.
It looks like her is developing that lovely Bernardini Head, which is soooo gorgeous.

OOPS !!!
He not her !!!
Grey filly in 2013, Zenny.

Hi Sign. I always thought 12Z has his daddy Bernardini’s head.
Louise Castello
LOL! I was thinking the very same thing!
Louise Castello
Oops, Sign, I was laughing about your stallion remark! I was thinking like you!

Happy Day for John, Dottie, Zenyatta, Baby Z and friends!!! More pictures and videos please….. Thanks for the update!!!
Wendy Treadaway
Wonderful pictures! Thank you! I’m sure Z enjoyed her visit with her “family.” Baby Z looks like he’s going to be a big, rangy colt.
Gloria Jeanne- OCCali
P. S…….Zenny is getting so big already!!!!! Just love seeing her and Baby Z!
Ann Maree / Tennessee
So nice. Thank you! I was sort of hoping to see some pictures or video of John examining Z12! In my minds eye, I have a vision of John running his hands along Z12’s legs, standing back and eyeing him….makes me feel at ease though, knowing that John has finally seen him in person! Thank you again for all that you do for us fans. Appreciate everything so much.

Same here Ann Maree. John’s love for Zenny is always so apparent and he’s finally gotten to see her little Prince. We need a picture of John with Zenny please!
Especially Horses / Southern California
Nice photos. Always thankful that “we” are included and updapted. Would have liked to have seen a photo of John with 12Z.
Jane
Thanks so much for sharing the pictures! They look GREAT!
Ann Maree / Tennessee
P.S. Love it that Z12 is “showing off” a little!!!! Can’t miss that!
Candace
Of course Zenny would remember and be SUPER excited to see two of her favorite people in the entire world! She spent more time with Dottie and John than most anyone in her life so I know she was so happy to see them. And Baby Z is amazing. Thanks for sharing these pictures!!
AmyK
Zenny will always remember John and Dottie for taking such good care of her, along with Ann and Jerry. Hopefully, when she “misses a date” and takes a year off from being a mom, the following year she could be sent to “See the Stars” in Europe. I would love to see that baby be a grass horse who can race in some of the big races over there like Ascot. Maybe Frankel will stand here in the US for a while when he retires? With Zenny the dreams are endless. So happy she’s enjoying her transition to “mom” and continues to excel at everything she does. We all love you Zenny.

Thanks for much for the pictures!! Baby Z is growning up and so cute. Keep the pictures coming!

Shannon From Cool, CA
Always appreciate an update. Our love for Zenyatta has not waned.
Susan Cole
Baby “Z” is adorable. Thanks for sharing. And of course Zenyatta is beautiful and unique as ever.
Kathleen
I would love to know what John thought of the Prince. Those are some mighty big ears for a colt……..usually it’s fillies and mares with the giant ears. It looks like he is in the middle of a growth spurt, pretty rangy at the moment. It looks like he’s going to be almost as big as his mommy.
signofthetimes; President of Texas RN Chapter
Remember the ears come from Kris S, “V”‘s sire so guys have them too.
Dawn Deems
Thank you so much for the photos! Zenyatta and her colt look AMAZING. It’s so cute to see the interaction between Zenny and her California family. We look forward to more photos and videos. Thanks again!
S.Kidman
LOVE all of it! LOVE the Queen, her baby and the Shirreff’s! ZENYATTA is just…gorgeous! BabyZ is definitely taking after his momma!! LOVE to both!
Carmela B/Pasadena CA
Is he ever going to grow into those ears??? My guess is he’s going to be a big boy!
Barbara Wood (Texas)
What a nice surprise to see the great pictures. John and Dottie must have been chomping at the bit, so to speak, to get there. I hope they got to spend some good amount of time with them.
@Amy K–I seriously doubt that the Mosses would ship Z to Europe, but what do I know? I’m surely no expert.
Wishing everyone a beautiful day. Hugs.
AmyK
Barbara,
Only long enough to confirm her pregnancy status and possibly to meet some of her many fans “on the other side of the pond” with Ann and Jerry before her breeding date. I hear she’s very popular over there as well. Then back to Lane’s End where our beautiful queen will continue to be well cared for and loved by all who meet her.
BRENDA
i bet that boy eats alot.. he is going to be a big one like his mama..

Dear Ann,
Got it from and Arab, too.
Fractured my arm, when he refused a jump.
Fell back and flew off the side and hyperextended my wrist.
Think Arabs are closely crazy in a different way the TB.
Love the OOTB, they are sooo special.
Carolyn McFall
Love the length of pastern on that boy. Can’t wait to see him framed up. He will run…
Beth from Indiana
I love the photos. Thanks for sharing.That is sweet that Zenyatta came right over to visit. That would make my day. My horses did that to me the other weekend. I went up to the gate and they all came running and winning over to where I was.
Carolyn Caswell-Brown
Beautiful pictures. Thanks to everyone who shares their moments with us. Was John camera shy? Not Baby Z. Quite the little “stud muffin”! Bet Zenny will be glad when fly season is over.
PEACE & LOVE

Flies in Wisconsin are awful right now too. Every time I pick up the fly swatter the dogs run for cover!
Andrea
My goodness but Baby Z is sure in an awkward growth spurt right now! None of his parts look like they belong together! But that’s OK, he’ll grow and take on his mom’s great frame or his handsome father’s looks! And momma Z is sure showing off the next one :) Thanks for the update & pics.
signofthetimes; President of Texas RN Chapter
That is for sure, everything is growing separately. I am sure in time all the parts will
grow into a beautiful stallion.
Pati- gradually losing sleep over BC!!!!!
Not being able to snooze in AP Stats was definitely worth it now that I read this update! Though I replaced sleeping with daydreaming about Breeders’ Cup…but still, totally worth it!
Glad to see Mini Z standing tall and proud! He looks great!!

Not as large as our little prince.
