Happy Wednesday!
2016 has been off to a chilly start in Kentucky. Last week we spent a few days at Lane’s End with Zenyatta. We braved cold weather that didn’t seem to phase The Queen, and we even got to play in the snow.
Zenyatta is looking gorgeous with a healthy winter coat and growing belly. Her veterinarian says that momma and foal-to-be are both in excellent health. She has bonded with her paddock mates and she even shared her treats.
It won’t be long before foal watch begins in March! Scroll down for photos.
Enjoy!

Dear Ann NC,
I am on snow-watch! Quite a few flakes were falling this evening, but no coverage.
We will have to wait until Friday night or Saturday to see what happens. I can hear ol’ Dean singing about marshmallows, yes?
Hugs and Love
Sue Fredrick Happy as a lark
Thank you so much Team Z and Kyle for the magnificent pictures of Mama Zen and Ann. You can just tell they communicate……Ann speaks “horse” very well. The hug pictures brought tears to my eyes, and the snowflakes picture would make great Christmas cards. We are so lucky to have this access to her.
RIP handsome Kingmambo……another stallion lost already this year……so sad to see these old kings pass. I hope my beloved Indy is still doing well he’s 27.
Can’t wait till March to start the frantic pacing for baby bump…..there have been an abundance of fillies born already…….hopefully an omen.
Special hugs and kisses to Mama Z, CoZ, Zi, angel Princess and my Indy and Codey.

My Dear Zenyatta,
How healthy and happy you look! After having watched you and Mrs. Moss over the years, I can see that the two of you not only share a special relationship, you act on each other as a tonic. I did not know you had new paddock mates, but I am delighted you have all bonded. I must admit I am so happy Mr. & Mrs. Moss decided to send you back to the sire of your special filly ZPrinZess. She was so lovely and precocious. Many of us hope your 2016 baby will be another girl; however, healthy is what we most want.
Take care, My Queen. We await March in our own special ways.
xoxo,
Mary in Boone

Zenyatta is always looking beautiful. Mud caked, in the snow, no snow.
Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall, the Queen is perfect in every way.

I love these pixs of Zenyatta… especially the hugs and kisses ones with Ann. Zenyatta and American Pharaoh are my all time fave racehorses. They both brought positive attention and new fans to the sport and possess such wonderfully kind personalities as well. Hopefully some day soon I can visit them in Versailles, KY.
Debbie
Love the photos! Z looks gorgeous as always!!! I would sure like some of those hugs and kisses from Z!!! Xoxoxo Z,Coz,Ziconic&ZPrincessAngel&Z’sbabybump;)

Zenyatta looks trim and healthy. So good to see her so well, and am glad Ann went to see her. Am so glad that there are people who treat her so well, and love her. She hasn’t been forgotten down at Lane’s End. You can tell by her reaction to Ann that she was so happy to see her. God bless the Mosses for their love and care of Zenny.
Marshall (NC Broad)
These photos are just great! Thanks to Kyle for the stunning photography, and thanks, also, to the Mosses, Team Z and Lane’s End for the loving care of Z and especially for sharing this gorgeous girl with us, her adoring fans. You all are the BEST.
Zenny, you look marvelous as always. Love the photos of you and Mrs. M — they are so touching. There is a lot of love emanating from those shots, and it’s quite palpable.
That was a beautiful sunset, too! Thanks again.
Hugs and Love

Thank you for the beautiful photos of Queen Z and her paddock mates, and of course Mrs. Moss. Just wondering of Mario and Steve are ever able to get back to visit with her. I hope so. Waiting for March so we will get to welcome a new Z baby.
