Happy Tuesday!
Alys sent us these sweet photos of Z Princess out in the paddock with her mom and their paddock mates. We’ll be visiting Lane’s End in September, and we can’t wait.
In the meantime we’ve been hard at work planning the rest of the year for Zenyatta.com, and we have some exciting announcements coming up. Today, we’re starting a brand new mailing list for those who’d like to stay updated. You can subscribe by entering your email address in the form to the right (just under the search form). Members will receive news from Zenyatta.com, offers from the Zenyatta Shop, and will be the first to know about special events and opportunities to meet Zenyatta!
Enjoy!

GORGEOUS photos. Her blaze is similar to Moms
Erin Gilligan
Oh my goodness, she is the cutest thing. Love her! She’s got Z written all over her.
Wendy Treadaway
Beautiful! She’s a big girl, like her mom! Thanks for the pictures, as always. :-)

Weaning should be just around the corner. Onto the next phase of life! And Z gets a few quiet months of down time.
Z Princess is beautiful.

I’m curious about her friend we saw in an older post. I don’t see the chestnut who was greying out in a badger (I think it was) mask pattern. Must have been hanging out somewhere else in the paddock while these were being taken. He sure was cute though. ^_^

Wasn’t that Life is Sweet’s foal by Tapit? I haven’t seen him in recent pictures either. Wonder if LIS was bred or if she is also getting a year off.
Markay
Pretty babies!
Donna May
She is beautiful. What a big girl like her mama. She’s about the age for weaning isn’t she? Cannot wait to see what Zenyatta will be up to on her year off!
Andrea Klassen
She’s only 4 months old.. a little young to wean.
LoriW (So. Cal.)
She is just BEAUTIFUL, just like Mom Z! Thank you so much to everyone for these absolutely wonderful pics of our Princess!
Luv forever to Z, CoZ, Zi, and Z Princess :)
Cheryl
So beautiful!

What a delight! Just love her! She is so much bigger than her pals. Just like mom!
Martha Lemert
What a gorgeous amazon she is! Look how she towers over her paddock mates! Wow! It’s mini-Z!
Bobbie --- Elkhorn WI
What a beautiful girl she is. Lots of body and bone with a very feminine face. Daddy and Mom should be proud of this girl!
Louise Spadafora
Z Princess looks like her mom! Thank you so much for the beautiful pictures of this gorgeous filly. Zenyatta must be very proud of her handsome family. :-)
Lori Stein
OMG she is sooooo stunning, wonder why lol!!
Melinda Boughton-Chatman
Stunning was my exact thought too!
Sue Fredrick Happy as a lark
Thank you team for these lovely pictures of the princess. She looks huge compared to the other two. So much of Zenny shines thru and her blaze is so close to her mom’s. She has her dad’s coloring though, much lighter than Zenny…….beautiful.
Did I read that right about chances to see Zenny in your explanation on top…….that would be a dream come true!!

It is so special to see these pictures and get a view of what life is like where Zenyatta lives, and especially to see her babies growing up and thriving. Thank you for sharing these beautiful snapshots with us all!

What a gorgeous girl just like her gorgeous mama! I have a feeling Princess Z is the leader among all her paddock mates; she definitely looks like a take charge girl!

BE STILL MY HEART! Princess — you are just exquisite!!!
Hi to everyone from steamy Montreal where it’s been well over 90 degrees the last several days = Daisy Doodlebug wants only to lie low in the air conditioning, while offering me the odd “Geez…this is SO BORING” look.
Nothing hugely exciting to report as I’ve been clearing out lots of stuff that I don’t use/don’t wear/don’t look at anymore (although, in this heat, I’m taking a time out). And I’ll soon get going on a new article for THE VAULT. (The last two, on Aussie-NZ thoroughbreds have gone over really well with my readers, but I’m thinking I’ll switch gears for the next one and do something on lesser-known progeny of Man O’ War who, like Battleship, were great jumpers….)
I note that the foals are coming in the Southern Hemisphere: Makybe Diva just welcomed a More Than Ready filly and the first S.H. Frankel has arrived. Soon we’ll be getting news about Black Caviar. Exciting times!
RE: LIS and her colt…is he not the greying-out one pictured above in the shot with Princess and two others? Or was he greyer than that?
I’m guessing that September will be about weaning & Ziconic leaving for the Mayberrys’ in Florida. But I’m hoping that Zenny can stay with Life Is Sweet — they must be BFFs by now
and I don’t want her to feel lonely, even though we’re all here for her.
Thank you Team Z, LE and especially Alys for these great photos. Peppermint kisses to my Big Girl and her family. And love & hugs to all my Zen family here.

I could be wrong but I think the BC website indicates that LIS was bred back to Tapit for a 2015 foal so Zennie won’t be pastured with her. I think the barren mares are kept separate? LIS14 colt had a pretty substantial blaze if you look back at his pictures.
Maryp NY
She is just beautiful! The photos are great! I just love her!! I think her blaze will look more like Z’s as she grows….amazing filly!
Exciting new things from Team Z to come. Love being a Zster/dumpling and love that we are thought of by Ann, Jerry, TeamZ and Lane’s End.
Always in all ways, thank you.

She is growing so fast, and what a Beauty she is. Thank-You Alys for the photos they are always so welcome, and appreciated. LOTS”O”LOVE TO ALL
Elaine
Thank you once again! She is absolutely beautiful!

Thank you so much for these wonderful pictures of Z Princess. She is really beautiful – Stunning actually. The pics showing her legs appear to have very solid bones which is great to see. Her brothers also showed great bone – and still do. Hopefully this means less chance of a serious leg injury (one that would be caused internally – during a work out or just playing- not one that is inflicted by another horse or from outside forces). Legs and feet are very important – not that anyone here needs to understand that and also there are many other things that are very important. It is just something I look at – nothing more and nothing less.
Regardless she is a little stunner. I love her , Coz and Ziconic. We have a lot to look forward to in the future. Soon she will be weaning and Zenny will have time off. She is so smart she will invent things to do. Not sure if she will be placed with other mares who are not pregnant or how the situation is handled. Either way I am sure if she is not with mares she already knows she will be fine with a new group. Zenny seems to make friends anywhere with any creature.

Thanks for sharing Zenny and her Family with us

Love the blaze. Reminds of a slightly off-balance Softee!
