Happy Wednesday!
Alys took these great photos of Zenyatta playing in her paddock. We think she looks especially beautiful set against the snowy Lane’s End landscape.
Team Z and the staff at Lane’s End are getting ready for the arrival of this year’s foals. Accordingly, we’d like to invite the next round of questions for our “Ask The Experts” column. Questions related to the foaling process will be considered first, but all questions are welcome.
We look forward to hearing from you!
Edit: We have receieved so many great questions from all of you! Submissions are now closed for the time being. If you didn’t get a chance to ask your question, don’t worry, there will be more opportunities in the future.
Some of you have recently asked about the Zenyatta Shop. Our apologies, the Shop is closed at this time. If you have any outstanding orders or inquiries, please contact us by emailing info@zenyatta.com.

Curious as to why she still wears plates on her front feet….
Zenyatta is absolutely magnificent!! Her condition is perfect; she is a glowing picture of health. Kudos to Team Z!

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for such great pictures of our Zenny! She looks great and she is great! Can we buy these pictures? Alys you outdid yourself with these pictures, you’ve got her head and eye just right! And look at those haunches! The power is all still there. I do love her so! We all do!

Thank you Alys, Team Zenyatta, and Team Lane’s End for letting us share in “It is good to be a horse on a snowy day and good to be Zenyatta, Queen of the track and of so many hearts!!” Zenyatta looks so healthy and happy, and she shows us she still has her moves. You go, girl!!! Looks like she is ready to moon dance for sure.
Take care. Thank you for the smiles and tears!!!!!
Love,
Mary in Boone

Absolutely beautiful photos! Thanks so much for sharing! Her coat looks like velvet. When is she due? Is Tasty Temptation in foal as well? Hope she accepts her foal this time.

Sue Fredrick
Oh what a treat!! Thank you Alys, LE staff, and of course the Mosses for giving us this gift. She is truly the most beautiful creature on earth!! She seems to have that wise look in her eyes, the wisdom of the ages. They always say there’s nothing more beautiful that a pregnant woman, well to me there’s nothing more beautiful than a broodmare…….especially this one. She couldn’t look healthier and happier. Thank you Lane’s End for the wonderful care you give her. She’s a National Treasure.
Congrats to all the new moms, with a special shout out to the fabulous Goldie on her new foal.
Hugs and kisses to Mama Z and EARnie.

Well said, Sue, and congrats also to the great Goldie!

Can’t wait to see Goldie’s colt… I bet she is a good mama too. ;-);-)

Woo-hoo! Our Zenny is having fun! Thank you so much, Alys and Lane’s End, for these. I really needed this today. Hugs to all.

Dear All, since a new post is up, I’d like to link to this WARNING from yesterday “A WARNING TO PEOPLE AND ANIMALS —DO NOT DRINK FROM THE NEW POCKET HOSE.”
https://staging.zenyatta.com/news/12z-has-his-feet-trimmed/comment-page-14#comment-197197
I have personally confirmed with customer service at Pocket Hose that their hose is NOT meant for drinking water for people or any animal. This warning does not appear upfront in their TV ad or in their online ad, but it does appear “in the fine print” of the packaging for the product. Dawn Diovera at http://horseandman.com/ brought this to our attention on her blog yesterday. Thanks, Dawn!
Sue Fredrick - Wisconsin- Elated
And thank you so much Trina for checking this out! Not only pets but kids love to drink out of hoses so they better make that clear to people!!!
Suzie Stammer
All I can do is ditto what everyone has written. Thank you so much for keeping us all in the loop of Zenny’s life. You and your team make us all feel as if we too are a part of the team. And of course we are. We are all on Team Zenyatta and 12 Z too!
SharonAtlanta
Oh My! She is still so agile even this far along in her pregnancy. Bet she has that baby rockin’ and rollin’ after this. She looks like she’s swallowed a 50 gallon drum and is still able to kick and cavort like that. It’s not long now until she has her second foal. Can’t wait to see what this little one is like.
Lane’s End I can’t thank you enough for still sharing her life with her adoring fans. We so appreciate all of you!

Sharon–you DO have a way with words–lol! Great description.

Hi, Carole and Richard! So you’re back from around the world? Hope you had a great time, and welcome home.
Joanna from TX
Zenny and friend look SO healthy and happy! Thanks to all concerned for sharing the pictures with us.
Debra K Turcott-Johnson
Thank You! Thank You! Thank you SO MUCH for sharing these wonderful photographs of our “Queen”! It is obvious that she is receiving the very BEST of CARE in these pictures. She looks BEAUTIFUL and HEALTHY and also VERY HAPPY. What more could we ask for Zenyatta in this phase of her life (Mommy phase). I just can’t say enough about the great job Lanes End has done with Queen Z and also Prince Z aka Z12 – we may have another Prince Z when Z13 is born! I think she is due sometime in March and I eagerly await for her to present to us her next foal. I know she and her foal will be watched and cared for in the utmost way. Thank You so much for letting us have Zenyatta in our lives – her true fans will never tire of hearing about her and the young ones that are and that are yet to be.
Yes she looks stunning in the white snow.
God Bless each and every person involved with this web page, those at Lanes End, Mr and Mrs Moss and of course God Bless and watch over our Queen Zenyatta :)

My dearest Queen Zenyatta, I see how very Beautiful and very Happy you are and you are most amazing. You are every bit amazing in retirment as you were while you were racing. I see the pictures of you running and playing in the snow while you are in full term with your second foal and you look as young and spry as ever and I wonder do you still dance once in awhile? I was so happy to see these Great pictures of you in the snow and want you to know that your Beauty stays forever with you. You have so much energy and I can see that you are well taken care of and very healthy and that makes me feel good because I think of you every day and wonder how you are and if you are lonely. I wish you much luck with the arrival of your next foal and love your handsome Z12. Sending you much love and kisses and will keep you in my heart always. Will wait for the next new pictures and thank all at Lanes End for all they do, they do a great job. Irene Caty in California.

Oh, Zenny, you look just magnificent! I agree that you look gorgeous against the white of your snowy LE paddock and I just love the shot of you with your neck arched (#5) as well as the portrait that follows. Shot #10, as you gallop towards the camera is also especially lovely. And that winter coat makes you look like a real CUDDLEBUG!
Many thanks to Alys and Team Z for giving us this Wednesday treat!
Sandy (Northeast Ohio)
It’s nice to see you here again Abigail. Is your email working??
