We are not joking when we say one of the most special days of the year is April 1st.  The day our Queen Z joined the world.  Today Zenyatta turns 18 years old – Happy Birthday!  And, if you recall, Z gave us all a wonderful birthday surprise on this day 9 years ago when her 2nd colt, Ziconic was born.

We have a special party planned today and we hope to see you there!

Today at 2PM EST, @lanesendfarm will be streaming live Zenny’s Birthday Party on their Facebook page; https://www.facebook.com/lanesendfarm See you there!

Remember, you can now purchase your 2021 Zenyatta Celebration sticker here to enter the raffle and be one of 10 lucky winners to visit Zenyatta at Lanes End Farm.

    I was lucky enough to meet her after her last race. I met her trainer, John Shireffs, and I hugged Z and kissed her on her neck!

    Happy, Happy, Happy 18th Birthday to our beautiful, beloved Queen Z! A huge thank you to Alys and Andy and everyone at Lane’s End who turned out on this blustery cool day to share a video with all of us Zeesters… Wonderful to hear Alys’s wry comments and to see Zenny being pampered! I know I probably don’t speak just for myself when I write that April 1st is always a special day for me…

    Sadly I’ve been having computer troubles and had to go to Bend, the biggest town around and by the time I got word my computer had a very bad virus, it was too late for the party. However, I am now at the library and was thrilled to see Zenny’s picture. Even though its a bit belated, I wanted to say Happy Birthday to both Zenny and Ziconic. Also, to let Zsters know I may not be able to be on line for a few days and I may have to change names, numbers and accounts.
