Happy Tuesday!

Ann and Jerry went to Kentucky to visit Zenyatta, 13Z and Cozmic One last week. Ann sent us a few clips from their time on the farm.

Enjoy!

    Thank you Ann for the wonderful clips. You must be so proud of your Zenyatta and boys. They are awesome!
    I would like to take this time to thank Team Zenyatta for the wonderful times I had following Z when she was running. The most amazing memory was the BC Classic at Churchill Downs. I was standing on a picnic table by the starting gate. In my mind that was Zenyatta’s most amazing race and truly showed her wonderful heart. The following morning when we were all gathered outside the fence taking pictures while Z grazed and posed, I remember an older gentleman who stopped his car and asked “is that the FILLY”? He looked at her quietly, then drove off. Knowing as we all did, that he had seen greatness.

    I find it amazing to be allowed the glimpses into Zenyatta’s and her foals’ lives. Thank you so much for sharing her with us!

    What a treat! Love seeing Z —- she really looks lighter (coat color) than I remember seeing her and Z13 is going to be a beautiful deep chestnut color (maybe)! And then we have the very dapper Coz. Wow he is maturing and getting TALL!

    Wow, Thank you so much for the new videos. They are excellent! I love Cozmic One’s hair, too. He is growing up and is so beautiful. When we see Zenyatta and 13Z walking away, he sure does have his mom’s behind, He looks amazing as does she. Again, thank you so much for sharing them with us. All three are wonderful!

    Woo-hoo! Have been gone all day and am hopelessly behind, but what a treat! It feels as if we are actually there enjoying Zenny and 13Z, as well as COz. Thank you all so much for sharing with us. This is the glue that holds us all together. Love to all.

    Wow!!!!! that is all I can say- Cozmic One is drop dead gorgeous, and he’s really grown a lot in the last few months. He is going to be a tall one I think. He looks so regal and did I see a training bit in his mouth?

    The Queen is her normal beautiful self, and little 13Z has also grown a lot. I love how both of her colts are so interested in people, curious and friendly. I wonder, how many foals will Zenny “adopt” this year?

    Thank you Ann for filming the videos and thank you for allowing us to continue being a part of her life…

    Thank you Lane’s End for taking such good care of our Queen and her handsome Princes.

    This is so great – thank you for the pics and vids! I rarely even comment anymore because it seems that more and more when I check in, there’s something negative going on that turns me off, so I’m glad something is being done about it… but I just love, love, love Zenyatta and her baby boys!

    Thanks Team Z for the new pics. We love you for sharing Zenyatta and her kids with us. Coz has grown very handsome and he has his mother’s adorable ears. I’m sure he will grow into them a little bit more as he matures and the new baby really has the look of something special. You must be so excited. This sport that we all love needs this joy. Thanks again for all that you do.

    Wow!! CoZmic One is absolutely gorgeous!!!!! But of course, He is the Queens baby boy #1. And Z13 is quite a LOOKER!!! thanks again for sharing!

    Cosmic One is developing into a striking colt…. glad he has not grown out of his ears. Won’t he be good looking with a mane job and a trim? LOL

    Z13 is just drop dead gorgeous. It crossed my mind that he will be an awesome stud some day.

    Zenyatta looks so happy as a brood mare. Whenever I want to watch a genuine race horse, I go to Race Replays.

    Thanks so much for sharing.

    Ann, thank you so much for sharing Zenny and her boys with us. My word Cozmic One has grown so much!! He surely has his momma’s ears :) And Z13 is just the cutest. I love his blaze!!!

    Myself and a freind are planning a trip to Kentuck from July 30th-August 2nd and there is NOTHING that would bring me greater joy than to meet The Queen. If that’s not possible ( I know she’s in foal), I’d still love to at least see Lane’s End in person. Can anyone tell me who I should contact about a visit/tour on one of the above dates? I would really appreciate any information available.

    Thanks in advance!!

      Kim, Phone Lane’s End and make an appointment to visit. You will get to see the stallions but no mares and foals unless you are lucky enough to see them in the paddocks as you drive the roads around the farm. The stallion visit is awesome and you will be able to get up close and personal with some of the boys.

    Thank you for the videos. It is such a treat to see Zenny and her boys. They look so healthy and happy.

    Is it getting close to weaning time for Little Red? Bet he won’t like that. He sure does have the cutest little bushy tail.

    Does Cos still have his chestnut buddy? Will they go to the training center together?

    Oh my gosh, how gorgeous is Cozmic One. I can’t believe he is so big. I know it is not possible, but wouldn’t it be nice to see Zenyatta, Z13 and Cozmic One all together for a picture. Thanks so much Ann and Jerry, Lanes End for allowing all of us to be a part of their life. Hugs to all.
