Happy Friday!
We want to finish off the week with a few videos showing parts of Zenyatta’s daily routine. Alys’ footage shows her in the paddock, in her stall, and eating supper: the simple moments that make up the life of a happy and healthy horse!
Enjoy!

Debbie
thanks, Alys, for these videos of Z, she just makes me sooo happy watching her in her daily routines, she looks close to foaling, can’t wait;) love you Z!!!xoxoxo
Debra Hukill
Thank you for sharing, Please get Zenyatta some Zen music. Those sparrows are so annoying!
Martha
Or perhaps some cotton in her ears. She nines to stay zen right now.
Ingrid Arnone
My dear Zenyatta my tears are running down, I think you are due any day, my prayers are for you, love you.
Thank you for the videos, I cannot stop my tears. Big kiss Ingrid.
Debbie G/Kentucky
Thank you so much for these videos, Alys and Lanes End. It’s so good to see our girl looking so happy (and big!). Those birds chirping in the videos were driving my cats crazy! LOL

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME IN TAKING THESE VIDEOS OF OUR QUEEN!
She looks so Happy and Healthy….Love to see her covered in mud, her beauty treatment at home!! So looking forward to the new little one….I hope a Filly…..HUG TO ALL WHO WORK AT LEF. ALEX

I really appreciate the videos. Z looks very content. I can hardly wait until she can deliver that load she’s carrying. She must be getting a little tired of all that pressure on her bladder. Maybe the big day will be on St. Patrick’s Day. Can’t think of a better way to celebrate. Much love to Z and everyone else.

Thank you for the videos. It always makes me smile to see Zenyatta so happy. You can tell she is content. She brought us fans so much excitement, fun, and joy. Now it is her time to live a relaxing and fun life and she seems to have that at Lane’s End. Love to Z!!!!

Ignore my insanity. Vertingeaux was the mare query, not La Ville Rouge.
Spending too many late nights.
Kathleen
Nice to see Barbaro sister
Barbara Wood (Texas)
That’s ok. This one is adorable too! Can’t ever have too many foal pictures.
Louise Castello
Thank you Janet. A lot of people have been wondering about La Ville on the forum side. Her foal is beyond cute. So precious!
Peggy (N) South Georgia
Janet, Thank you so much for sharing. What a beautiful little filly.
Lisa B./Escondido, CA

Zenny you are as beautiful as ever. Always thinking of you Sweet Angel.
Hugs to YOU and your awesome team at LE.
Love YOU oxoxox
MK
thank you very much for sharing these videos of Queen Z. she’s beautiful and looks ready to foal. blessings for a safe and easy birth.
Anne Kirkwood
In response to video #1 “Are you ready to come in?’ Zenny’s asking why she isn’t in Dubai! She could have won the Dubai World Cup! (and she knows she still could!)
olga lidia rubi/glendale ca
wow z you are really ready to have that fold, you remind me of some of my pregnant co-workers they walk just as fast as u.lol.Could we see some comparision pictures from her pregnancy with the prince at about the same due time so we can guess boy/girl.
thanks. i will pray your birthing takes 2 seconds……….and both of you are healthy and strong.
Anne
How nice to see Zenyatta moving about and looking as if to say….”Isn’t this over yet?” ha…poor girl. I know many human mom’s wishing that last month was over. Maybe horses do as well. Lot more weight to be carrying around.
She looks at peace and content to eat.
Thanks Alys for sharing a day with Zenyatta. We are lucky to have you and that her owners approve of still sharing this beauty queen that so many have grown to love over the years. For me..since her first race.

Claire Novak The Blood-Horse tweet
For those of you who are wondering, Zenyatta’s 2013 foal by Tapit is due late March, around 3/26-3/31. Last year she foaled March 8.
Marshall (NC broad)
Thanks so much Alys and Lane’s End for the great videos of our sweet Z ! She looks so content and relaxed — she even gets to dine with “live music”!! Tee-Hee!
You are the Best!! Hugs to all

You are right. The videos ara a great way to end this week.
Thank you all for the reassuring informational posts during this
pre-foaling time.
You have done a great job of walking us through the process.
You have done a great job of showing us how healthy and content Zenyatta is.
You have done a great job of letting us into her environment to see she is safe.
Thank you again & have a great weekend

What a treat to see our Queen looking so relaxed,muddy and plump! lol Thanks so much for the videos!! Hope it’s a filly dear Z!! :)
Linda Henderson
Sad to me. Very far from her glory days. A foal a year, year in, year out. Ugh.
Wendy
I may be a bit behind. Has Z’s colt been named, yet ? Is he still at LEF ? Can we see a pic of Tapit?
Love you, Zenyatta…you’ll be a great mom…again.
LauraJ (Cincinnati, OH)
No, 12Z hasn’t been named, He probably won’t have a name until next year, if the Mosses follow their usual practice.
He is still at LE with his yearling herd, at one of the satelite farms.

Dear Laura J.:
Thank you for this wonderful compilation of Tapit’s races. Like Z, he was impressive right from his Maiden win. Beautiful boy. Hugs, JB

Thank you for sharing our Queen with us and keeping us up to date with her. I watched classic horse racing tv last night and saw Z’s race that was her 17th in a row. That race to the wire and beating st Trinian still gave me shivers. There will never be another horse in my lifetime like Zenyatta. She is in the company of greats Like Man O War Secretariat, Seattle Slew, Citation etc.

Thank you, Thank you Alys for the video’s!. I was just getting excited about the earlier pictures then this!, this is heaven. Thanks again.
Our Queen looks adorable and healthy. Thanks Lanes End for all the TLC accorded our Queen and our very own Prince. Any sightings of him? or is he still holding court with all the Fillies on the farm?. Say hi to him any one if you sight him and tell him am still missing him.
Good night Queen Z, Prince and little princess. Sleep tight and sweet dreams.
Good night all Z nation fans.
