Happy Saturday!
Scroll down for photos from our most recent trip to Lanes’s End.
Zenyatta and her War Front filly spend their summer days grazing and playing with paddock-mates. When the flys are particularly pesky, Z Princess will stay close to her mom’s tail for extra protection.
Zinconic was showing off for us in the paddock (we think he’s excited to be in training prep). Our next blog post will cover his new routine.
Enjoy!

Thank you for the fabulous photos of Zenny, her Princess, and Ziconic. What an idyllic life they live! Wish all horses could have beautiful grassy pastures and someone who loves them.
They all look so happy and beautiful!

Dear Team Z, I would like to ask if the picture of Ziconic, the next to last picture of his running in the paddock could be available in “The Shop”? That would be lovely…..HUGS

Also…took the Redneck quiz…got 82%….my hubby would score better….he is a murdder.
Hope your friend rallys for many more years….have a safe trip…

That’s him Carol – think he forgot about some technical glitch last year that resulted in a name change.

Wow! Awesome photos of a wonderful family. Ziconic looks like he may be more precocious than this family usually is. He looks ready for the track now!

Dear Z Team:
This is a photo from 2013 of Departing, a four year old son of War Front, who is prepping for the Whitney Handicap at Saratoga in August. This is the coat color I think Z Princess might have when she’s lost her baby fuzz and her permanent coat grows in. Isn’t he gorgeous. Love and Hugs, JB

Judy, He is owned and race by Claiborne Farm and Ms. Dilschnider. Not sure about the spelling of her name. He is a gelding which is very rare for them. He must have been a very bad boy when he was younger.
Judy Berube From Rhode Island
Dear Shirlee:
I didn’t realize Claiborne owned him. He’s a handsome boy. Love and Hugs, JB
Alex Bowdoin
Judy, Thank you for posting the pic of Departing. He has a bit of a heart shaped on his face! Yes, The Princess will be a dark brown as War Front is dark and of course Z is. So much FUN to watch her babies grow up!!
Sandy (Northeast Ohio)
Thanks for the super picture Judy! I’ve been following him, but haven’t seen very many photos.

Judy B,
Yes I just saw that she was second, just wasn’t her day……she’ll come back with a vengance……she’s a closer so the pace may have had something to do with it. Hope that’s all it was. hugs
Judy Berube From Rhode Island
Dear Sue:
Hope so. Love and Hugs, JB
Peggy (N) South Georgia
Yes, she just didn’t look like she fired today. She’ll probably do better next time.

What gorgeous babies Z has had and what great Dads the Mosses have picked. Wonder who the next will be? Ziconic is just unbelievable and the Princess is such a carbon copy of her mom. Love all the pictures. Hope Coz is liking Belmont.

What a wonderful collection of photographs! THANK YOU, Team Z!!! Your generosity with us never ceases to amaze me. Zenyatta looks wondefrul and her gorgeous babies are thriving. All is right with the world.

July 13 Cherokee Devotional
Summer heat has brought a lull to the meadows. Tiny titmice and bright yellow warblers stay close to watering places, and only the locust sings on in its raspy tones. It sings to remind us that it is summer and time to slow our pace. Hay meadows are dotted with bales, and wheat and beans are ready for harvest. Evening is alive with the songs of meadowlarks and killdeer, and the mockingbird is the comic that sings in all the other birds’ voices. It would be impossible to live among the things of nature and not pace oneself to them. It is the nature of the Cherokee to go to a flowing stream with any problem he may have. And he comes away with the best harvest of all, a quiet eye and the peaceful harmony of summer.
I have a good heart, and I want no mistake made this time, to live with a good heart and talk truth.
Captain Jack
Sue Fredrick Happy as a lark
Wow, these two are real beauties!! Such wonderful pictures you take and share with us, just such a treat. Zi is so handsome and starting kindergarten already……wow I remember thinking it was going to take forever for these kids to be racing, and now CoZ is at the track and Zi is beginning his schooling. And Lily is growing so fast too, she looks like a real handful.
BBG,
Just noticed you had a birthday and wanted to wish you a belated Happy Birthday and many more…….hope you had a great day. Hugs to all
