Happy Friday!
We’re kicking off the weekend with new photos from Alys! As you can see, Zenyatta and her colt have been out enjoying the lush spring grass at Lane’s End. We’re sure they’re also anticipating our visit (and lots of peppermints)!
Our trip to Lane’s End begins early next week. If you’re eager to keep up with us while we’re at the farm, follow us on Instagram (TeamZenyatta) and Twitter for live updates.
Enjoy!

Dear Wendy:
Until Z’s Team and Lane’s End post a photo of Tapit, here are some photos of him I found. There’s photos of Z and her Red Prince at the bottom of the page as well. Hugs, JB

Dear Wendy:
Some of the Grays on this page are not Tapit and in some of his photos he is darker than he is now. He got lighter, as most Grays do, as he aged. Didn’t want to confuse you, but I probably did. Sorry. Hugs, JB

Tahese photos are beyond stunning Alys, they are jawg dropping!! They are just beautiful, just what we needed with all th hideous things going on in our country today. My heart goes out to all the people in Boston and Texas, they are simply going thru Hell right now. God bless them and help them get thru these awful things. Z13 is so precious with his wee tail and beautiful coloring. I want to call him “Little Red” he is so gorgeous!! Zenyatta is so beautiful and serene. My, she has given us 2 amazing gifts frm heaven and so much joy . Isn’t she glorious!! There will never b another like Zenyatta! We are blessed that th Mosses opened their hearts that we might all enjoy her wonderful life. God bless them. Also thank you to the people who wished me well yesterday. I appreciate it so much. My eyes r better but I am seeing polka dots!! It may be th pain pills(HA) but I always enjoy this site because almost everyone is fun,kind and knowledgeable. Ok, i read this back and never having taken pain pills before, I do believe I may be tipsy!!

Dear Z Team and Lane’s End:
Thank you so much for these fabulous new photos of Z and her Red Prince. Can’t get over how he looks older than his three weeks and so much confidence in his eyes.
Love the name Cozmic One. Coz is getting more gorgeous as he grows.
Hugs, JB
Paula Higgins
Many thanks!!! He is absolutely adorable and he reminds me of Mom when you look at the two of them straight on in the face. She is such a loving mother.
kim zeanyatta
Also, really enjoyed th comments about Ebby and John Shireffs. We are going to miss them and all the people and horses frm Backside 55 here in L.A. hope John and his stable return to us eventually. They are going to be dearly missed. It is a sad time at Hollywood Park. But now, people on th East Coast will get to enjoy them and fall in love. With especially Ebby and John.
Alex
Looks like he’s already starting to turn gray!! Nice looking colt.
Melissa from Gainesville, FL
Both are just stunning!!!! xo
Sue Fredrick Happy as a lark
New Flash, just heard on Fox News they caught the cowardly snake that did the bombing hiding in a boat in someones back yard. These radical Islamists hate us and no matter what we do they will not change. I’m sick of hearing of all the innocent people they have slaughtered in the name of their god. God Bless our FBI, police and all law officials who were on the ball and caught these two. Prayers for all the families who lost loved ones, and those that were maimed.

Dear Sue Fredrick:
Glad he’s been apprehended. So senseless and heartbreaking for victims and their families and for all of us to witness. Hugs, JB

Article on John Sherriffs and his move to Belmont.

Max
You would think by now that I could spell John’s last name correctly – Shirreffs? No.
Too much watching CNN, Fox, etc. Wish that the subject of that tv watching had been horses. Sad week for us all, especially those who have died, those who have lost these precious loved ones or those who have been injured. Prayers for all. God bless the USA, and all freedom loving people everywhere. We will go on.

Dear Max:
Very well said. Hugs, JB
Sandy (Northeast Ohio)
A great tribute to John! Thanks so much Max. (I have to rely on the old “i before e” rule to get the spelling of his name right :-)
Janet Newman
Belmont’s gain and So Cal’s loss.
Best Wishes to him in New York.

Dear Max:
Thanks for this article. Sad time for California fans. Hugs, JB
Vicki B. near Hollywood Park
Thanks, Max, I saw it in the paper today. Good article about John’s move, but indeed sad. Originally, his announcement said he was leaving a West Coast operations, so it sounded like Barn 55 would carry on, at least for awhile, without him in person. But this new article doesn’t even mention that. So I wonder.
Jean from Virginia
They are both just beautiful. What a cutie little 13Z is. Thank you so much for sharing and letting us be a part of Zenyatta’s life. I always look forward to the pictures and updates.
Barbara Wood (Texas)
Thank goodness the worst is over in Boston. Prayers for all who have endured there.

WOW! I have loved and been impressed with Zenny’s Tapit colt since I first saw a picture of him, but now I am even more impressed by him. He is very well-built (and adorable)! He and Zenyatta look fantastic! Thanks for the great pictures!
Marilyn Lane
I’ve got my Mommy’s ears! What a beautiful colt! Thank you for the pictures!

Alys,these photos of Zenyatta and her little one are amazing! I love the way you capture them in such natural shots, the bond between them is precious. 13Z is so strong and muscled already,he carries himself like his Mom and has her presence..It is so good to see such beauty in the world. Thank-you for these moments and for all the ones of Zenny and Coz during the last year.

He is gorgeous, of course…why wouldn’t he be?? I think he looks as if he may turn grey. His chestnut coat seems pale in color. I am so grateful for all the lovely photos. Thank you all for taking these great pics for all of us to enjoy!
Elizabeth in NM
Zenny,
13Z looks like his Mom – Confident, Muscular and so Noble. Love those ears! What a joy you bring to us every day, Zenny! Think he is going to be so tall! Thanks to the Mosses and thank you again, Alys for these amazing photos.
Martha Lydick
He is as regal as him mom.
