Zenyatta will not be bred this year. She continues to do well and is looking great with her new paddock buddy—even sharing her cookies. We’ll post more photos of them soon!

We appreciate all of the love and support her fans have shown. While we understand the concern the public has for Zenyatta’s well-being, we ask that you do not contact Lane’s End Farm to inquire about Zenyatta or her foals. We do our best to be generous with information and to share Zenyatta’s life with her fans through this website. Zenyatta.com will continue to be the source of official updates on all things Zenyatta.

      Sending up healing prayers for the great Lava Man. He has such a winning personality and seemed to enjoy his life as a lead pony. He is the pet of all in the barn.

      Dear Sheena,

      Thanks for the news on Call to Mind — thank goodness his injury isn’t life threatening. Hope he has a quick recovery and a long healthy retirement with lots of love.

      I just read that Lava Man was standing and back in his stall so I hope recovery will progress positively and smoothly. Lots of prayers and good wishes — Power Up, handsome boy.

      Hugs and Love

    Hi all Zsters and my love Zenyatta ; I have responded to a number of your posts but they (the site) no longer recognizes me. It is disheartening because I was here since the inception but this past couple of years I guess so busy.

    I will try again: I am sorry to hear of the loss of the Emu Judy, Justify does not need to prove himself anymore though it would have been exciting. The thing is at least to me, if he ran and failed a race after his Triple Crown, it would make BIG news of his failure as American Pharoah. It bothers me as media should not thrive on that. I wish him good green pastures to run when he has free time from the ladies.

    Lava man is an awesome horse and I too pray for a full recovery.

    Love you Zenyatta and all your foals

      Dear Sheena:

      Hope WP is OK. Maybe the race before this one took more out of him than they thought. Congrats to Lightning Spear.
      So good to know Lava Man is recovering well. Power Up Coach. Goodnight. Love and Hugs, JB, LM and all the Sweeties

    Hi Zenny
    We miss not hearing about you and how things are going. I am sure you are very happy not to be in foal.

    I hope you are enjoying the lazy days of summer.

    Love you Zanny.

    Good afternoon Z and family,

    Hope you are staying cool and comfortable this summer. Is your little girl off to training yet? We all look forward to the announcement of her name.

    I certainly wish we could send some of the rainy days we have had this month to California and all areas that so desperately need it. Sending thoughts and prayers to all those who have lost so much, including lives, in these awful fires. So devastating to all.

    Take care beautiful girl, and enjoy your summertime grazing with your paddock mate — just chillin’ and being horsey! You are always in my thoughts. xoxoxo

    Hugs and Love

      Dear Sheena,

      Thanks so much for the Hovis link — have missed the big guy!

      Poor Hovis, it is tough to be starved AND drenched. Glad that he had the great news of being invited to Your Horse Live for three days, and that he can anticipate the launch of his sixth book. He and Mum are both exceedingly adept with figures of speech!
      Thanks for the humor, Hovis — laughs are sometimes hard to come by these days. ?

      Hugs and Love

      Dear Sheena,

      Thanks for keeping us in the know about the races on your side of the pond. I love it!

      Big Congratulations to Her Majesty on the Golden Mile win by Seniority and Ryan M.!! So glad the Queen’s horse won, especially since Call to Mind was injured in his race and retired.

      Battaash is one handsome talented guy — Congrats to him and all connections!

      Cheers!

        • TOO cute, Sheena!!

          Actually, I couldn’t see the gold shoes in the poster photo — I will try to view a replay of the race if I can find it.

          Thanks again for the UK racing reports!

          Hugs and Love

      My goodness, proof once more that big things really do come in small packages! You certainly have a big brave heart plus a lot of talent, Battaash. Very handsome shoes yesterday, too.
