We know you’ve all been waiting for more photos!
Team Z and Lane’s End are proud to share these images from the birth of Zenyatta’s second colt. Based on the response we’ve received, it seems that the world is as excited as we are.
We had a spectacular day on the farm, and we are saying our goodbyes for now. Mom and her little one are now relaxing, bonding, and spending some quiet time alone.
There are still more photos from this trip to come. We’ll post again soon with news about 13Z and his older brother!
Enjoy!

Way to go Zenyatta! So happy you and 13z are well. I see he too has Zenny ears! What a handsome colt!
Dani Master
Thanks so very much for sharing the news and the pictures. Might know Zen would deliver on her Birthday. She is something special. All of you are so considerate for keeping us informed about Queen Z and her babies. I sure do appreciate it and am always checking her website for updates and news. Sure do thank all of you for your time and consideration for Zenny fans.

Ah, a perfect ending to an exciting day. Thank you Team Z for these wonderful and intimate photos! All the waiting, wondering, guessing…No matter what each of us was wishing for or speculating on…..well it just doesn’t compare to the real thing. 13Z, You are a WOW!
12Z congratulations on becoming a big brother. Hey buddy, no worries….you are the first Prince and forever loved. Our interest in your future will not wane.

Oh my goodness, how precious he is. Another beauty like his big brother, but how could they not be with such beautiful parents. Do we know if he has polka dots yet. With all the bedding you can’t see his feet.
Thank you Mosses and LEs team for all the work you do to keep us informed. No one has ever shared this much information on their broodmare and foals. It is such a blessing to be able to share their lives.
Kisses to Mama Zen, baby Red, and my boy EARnie
Sue
Of COURSE he’s chestnut. The pink skin around the eyes at birth is the proof. :) The skin will darken soon, but he’s a chestnut. :)
Jane Gerber
What a fabulous blaze. Wow – both mom and babe are amazing.

Zenny continues to delight and surprise us. LE and the Mosses are spoiling us with these pictures but I think we can handle it. I know I can!
Rosemarie Bandura
OMG sooooo cute! Thanks for posting these pics!!!

Love this mare… and her babies! She is the most extraordinary horse! Thank you for taking such good care of her.
JeanneO
Such a beautiful colt, and such a proud Mama! Thank you so much for the photos.
Please know how much we Zenyatta fans appreciate that way that we have been allowed to be a part of her life all of these years. She (and now both of her colts) will always be in our hearts!
zfansandy
XOXO ZEN AND BABE.
Beautiful pics. Thx z-team.
I do believe 13Z is asking Zenny,”Hey, where’s the track, mama?”.
Jane Wade
Such a big, handsome boy! Down deep I hope he stays a chestnut too! He’ll shine in the sun like a new penny! And Zenyatta looks awesome for having just delivered a big, healthy baby! Dapples still bursting out!
Thank you so much for sharing the pictures!
Nunya
I’m going to have to go into the Chestnut camp and predict that he’s not going to grey out.
No matter what color, though, he’s a beautiful healthy colt and I’m so happy for the team!

Must add my CONGRATULATIONS to you, Zenyatta and A HUGE high hoof of WELCOME to your second gorgeous Prince. Remember that song, “Someday my Prince will come…..” ? Well, you, our dear Queen, now have two of them!! (And no glass slipper needed!) Adding my thanks to the Mosses and all at LE. :-) :-) :-) Be sure to get your beauty sleep, if you can! GREAT life affirming photos!!!!
Enjoying all the comments!

JUST BEAUTIFUL!!!! He will turn into a majestic gray horse, just as his daddy, that is a fact. GREATNESS!

Beautiful! Anxiously awaiting more news on this little colts development and hopefully we can see him strut his stuff on the track like his mother did!
Trina Nagele in So Cal --PUR
Thank you, Team Z, for these marvelous photos of Momma Z and her new little prince! You are Z best!
Joan
I love chestnuts and I love greys so I don’t care which color he turns out to be. He has such a sweet face and I’m so happy for Zenyatta and all her human family. I imagine Zenyatta is so deeply happy right now with her new son. He and his older brother will have so many loving fans all their lives.
Anne from Paramount CA

In the midst of our joy at the birth of the second prince, we haven’t forgotten that Sue in FL (Jellybean on the Forum) is especially remembering today her late hubby Brian, killed a little over eight years ago.
A Poem for Sue in FL (Jellybean) on Her Late Husband’s 58th Birthday
(April 2, 2013)
’Tis today
Your late husband’s birthday,
A day on which to commemorate
One much too soon departed–
If alive today, he’d turn
A mere fifty-eight.
You still for his companionship yearn
And remain broken-hearted.
Not a day goes by
Without you calling to mind
How gentle and kind
Was your dear Brian,
A good-hearted man always tryin’
To be a great mate.
Nor was life ever a bore
When you as a foursome
Together time could spend
With Jeff and Stacy, that love-crazy pair,
Your very best friends.
Too sad it is to say
That Jeff now has shared Brian’s fate,
And Stacy is also untimely bereft
Of her dear Jeff.
If only both had been allowed
Longer here to stay!
I’d be lying
If I did say
Life without Jeff and Brian
Is not for the soul sorely trying,
But I pray
You’ll feel in your heart today
How, from way beyond every cloud
In the blue heaven above,
Brian and also Jeff, his friend,
To you send
Their deep love,
Truly undying!
Louise Castello
Beautiful, as usual!
judy berube from Rhode Island
Dear Trina:
Just beautiful. Hugs, JB
Sue and Stacy, Love and Hugs to both of you, JB
