We at Team Zenyatta and Lane’s End Farm are deeply saddened to share that Zenyatta lost her 2021 foal early this year.
She had been carrying a second Candy Ride filly, and we grieve the loss of this precious life. Thankfully, Zenyatta remains in excellent health and is doing very well.

This is the first picture I have ever seen of her where she has sadness in her eyes.

Dear Sweet Zenny, we too are deeply saddened and send our love. Ziconic (Z-Z) read your blog post with Linda and Sarah, and sends his love as attested by him licking your beautiful photo. Love, hugs, and blessings – George, Linda, Milyone, and Z-Z ?

Dear Zenny: we love you more than you could ever know! As long as you are okay that is all that matters…
Lisa
So sad ? hope things go great frome here on out.
Amy Ahonen
For all Zenyatta has done for you, all you have done is breed her over and over and over again. Truly let this fine mare retire at last.
Patricia H Diers
I am so sad to hear this. I just love Zenyatta. I hope she is ok.
Regina
So saddened by this news, but happy that our Queen is healthy. Absolutely don’t want anything to happen to her. Condolences to ask who love her and care for her daily.
Terri Jacquemain
Please, before publishing photos of her, be sure to untangle her mane, wash her face, engage her, etc. She is Zenyatta, she is an icon, and should always be presented in her best light. Grrrrr.
Lanie Hitchens
I absolutely agree with this post.. our Zenyatta should be groomed and given extra attention during this stressful time especially when her fans will see her . She should have this done every day as she has more than paid for it with her sweat and blood both as a racing legend and brood mare .
Lmaris
She’s a horse. She’s engaged (note the ears forward?) and she is clean. Let her be a horse.
Emmy
Are you kidding me? She is a HORSE and in this picture she is just as beautiful in her natural state as when she is dolled up.
Zenyatta, you are gorgeous and we love you so dearly!!!!

Dear Terri
? Zenny is and always will be a queen. Therefore, she is entitled to look anyway she feels like being photographed.
Did it occur to you that maybe, just maybe, this pic was taken AFTER she lost her foal? Perhaps she felt like rolling in the mud to soothe herself. I wasn’t there, so I don’t know; please be just be a little less picky. Thank you.
Marshall (NC Broad)
Thank you, Auntie Judy. Everyone seems to be a critic these days — a little more kindness is definitely in order. She may look a bit rumpled (not a bad thing), but no less gorgeous. Nothing like a roll in the mud spa!

It is a blessing to love someone so much and for so long that you can look at their face and still see the beauty of their youth. This is a perfect photo of Zenny on a gorgeous Kentucky morning showing her intelligence, her gentleness, her wisdom, her sadness. It makes us love her even more (even though we thought that couldn’t be possible).
Kim
Can’t they stop breeding her and pull embryos?
Marilu Villanueva
