Happy Thursday!
Today we have a few new photos from Lane’s End. Alys has been spending time with Zenyatta and 12Z, capturing aspects of their daily routines. She sent us these two videos, each featuring a 360 degree view of Lane’s End!
Enjoy!

What a treat to see these pictures today. I LOVE the one of Zenny sticking her tongue out…what a cutie. It seems as if she and 12Z continue to enjoy life on the farm. LE, a huge thanks for sharing these with us…as you know by now, we can never get enough of our Queen and her “prince”.

Dear Lane’s End,
Such a very wonderful Holiday Surprise !!!!
Love the photos of Zenny and 12 Z and the
videos are precious. Zenny has a very big
paddock to share with her broodmare mate
and plenty of room for 13 Z. She looks absolutely wonderful,
happy and content at being a horse. 12 Z looks like he is learning
his lesson of sticking his head out of the stall window for a photo.
THANKS SO MUCH LANE’S END AND TEAM Z FOR KEEPING US UP TO DATE WITH
ZENNY AND 12 Z. YOU ARE THE BEST !!!!

Alys,
Another collection of great photos.
12Z seems to have inherited his Mom’s curiousity-love those watching from
his stall pics.
Zenyatta is such a beauty & a ham.
Knows when her picture is being taken–is there a horse word for “cheese”?
Thank you Lane’s End team!
Thank you Ann & Jerry Moss, John & Dottie, and all the team!
Happy Holidays & a very Merry Christmas to all

Great Christmas present, couldn’t think of a better gift. Always love pictures and videos of Zenny and the Little Prince. She looks beautiful as always and he is really growing up. Thank you Lanes End so much, you have made my day. I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas.

Hi, Allen! How are your Thorougbreds Kobie and Shadow? And the grandkids? Merry Christmas to all.
Abby
Thank you so much for these!! Look at Zenny’s baby bump!! How cute! And baby Z is getting so big! Being that I check this site about twice daily, I cannot believe I’m asking this question: when is our Zenners due? Thanks again!!!
Trina Nagele in SoCal
Probably in March, am I right?
Tony
In that first picture I think Zenny is telling us she wants more treats. Great photos, Alys. Both Zenny and 12Z look fit and happy. Merry Christmas to all of Team Z.
From the videos it seems as if Zenny and 12Z love being at the farm.

So special ! Merry Christmas Lane’s End.

It’s more and more apparent how Zenny put her stamp on Z12. Thought that was her for second looking out from the stall to see what was going on.

So very true,
It seems the only difference is the star on 12 Z and the blaze on Zenny.
However, Bernardini is showing through, that curious surprised eye
of 12 Z with his head out of the stall is all Bernie.
XXXOOOO

The two most beautiful horses in the world. Hope everything is well! Love you.

Ok, is it just me or does Z’s upper eye socket on her right side look swollen? In both headshot photos no less. We love her so much; I for one always look at the new photos with an eagle eye. I’m sure it’s no big deal…but just kind of looks like maybe she banged her eye.
That tongue sticking out…priceless.
Baby Z….handsome guy.
Eveline / Maryland.
I think it’s a bit of an optical illusion, because of the mud on it. Her eye is much softer now, way more relaxed than when she was in training.

Dear ESH and Eveline,
Oh yes, Zenny is sooo muddy, with a shaggy winter coat. And the left eye does have a cake of mud. So very heartwarming to see her “just being a horse”,
enjoying life and mommyhood.

THE TONGUE IS PRECIOUS,
LOVE ANN’S COMMENT, “Brought these from California, so they are supposed
to be sweet”. So very thoughtful.

When is poor nameless Baby Z going to get his name? Almost a year and no name. Mom will have the next heir to the throne and he will still not be named.
♥♥ Auntie Judy aka JAG ♥♥
Ann and Jerry have submitted names… it’s a matter of being approved. They are always thinking of a name!
Trina Nagele in SoCal
Great info, JAG!
signofthetimes; President of the Texas RN Club
So very true JAG,
Ann said the day he was born, March 8, 2012, that they will start thinking of
“boys” names. Can’t hardley wait for the name. Patience and suspense is
sooo fun !!!!

Dear Auntie Judy:
Thanks for this info. Will be waiting to hear more. Hugs, JB

Kalar Walters
These are great! Thank you so much!
My older sister didn’t know about Zenyatta. I told her we just couldn’t have her not knowing her. I gave her a little info and sent a link to her of the 2009 Breeder’s Cup Classic race. I just explained the Classic and that she’s a female running against the boys in that race and that no female horse had ever won it. She was totally blown away!!! She said that while she was watching it, she said “Don’t tell me that horse thats trailing so far actually wins this thing.” LOL!! I filled her in on some more info about Z. She was an awe!! :D
Trina Nagele in SoCal
Too cute, Kalar! Thanks for sharing.
nancy
Love it, thanks for keeping us in the know :)
Kay Morris
Thank you! It always makes me smile to see how well and happy Zenyatta looks at LE. And the little one with the diamond on his forehead, wow, can’t wait until you get to run! Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year to all the folks at Lane’s End who take care of our national treasures, especially Zenyatta!
Trina Nagele in SoCal
Well said, Kay!
