Looked like a lot of fun—would sure love to meet Zenyatta someday….I do get to visit those stallions on a yearly basis—wonderful place to live–no wonder she looks so happy.

It looks like a wonderful birthday party was enjoyed by all the particpants! Thank you, Team Z, for sharing these moments with us through the great photos. I love them all! It is so over and above and beyond for the Mosses to continue to give us these glimpses into the daily life of our Queen and I am very grateful. Happy Birthday wishes to Louise who shares the birthday date with Zenyatta – what a great way to celebrate!!! Thank you!!

I smiled at every picture! They are precious. Zenyatta is surely loved by all and she loves the attention. What a lucky horse to have such a wonderful life… well she deserves it.
So sweet that she shared her treats with Violet Rose and the boys!
Ann, Jerry and all at Lane’s End. You are truly special people to keep us fans so well informed and to share so much of Zenyatta’s life with us. Thank you so much.
Now, back to waiting and checking in often for the baby news!!! Can’t wait……….

Is she expecting?—when?
Sue Fredrick Happy as a lark
Thank you so much Anne, Zennys team and LE for the party pictures, looks like everyone had a great time especially the horses. So glad they included the stallions, my fav Indy and his son Codey, and all the gorgeous others. I think the problem here is that Zenny has figured out the longer she holds out……the longer Anne stays…..and the more attention she gets, LOL. at this rate we’ll never get a baby. Come on Zenny GIVE THAT BABY UP before we all go nuts. hugs to all and kisses on soft noses.

She is so sweet. Many horses won’t let others eat out of the same bucket. But then, Zenyatta is special!

We have to believe that it is possible to have the courage needed to do the impossible. It is easy to be overwhelmed by all there is to do in our lives-and even more overwhelmed by what needs to be done in the world. Courage will help us do what Spirit calls us to do.
Courage doesn’t mean not to have fear or not to feel overwhelmed; courage means to act from the heart. If the spirit lives in our heart, we can move ahead with confidence. There may be no signs that promise better times, but remember they are possible. Depend on that glimmer of inner light and know that those who do the impossible are those who kept going when everyone said it couldn’t be done.
We were given food that was rich and sweet to the taste.

Truly nice pictures. Zenyatta looks happy instead of tired. The truly GREAT MARE. Personally, do not care if foal a filly or colt – just all be safe.
Dawn Conrad
Dearest Zenyatta, what a fantastic way to start my day!! The pictures are absolutely wonderful, just as you are. I adore the closeup of your face, as the song from Funny Face says, you fill the air with smiles for miles and miles and miles. If we could all look out at the world with the wonder and kindness expressed by your eyes, what a beautiful world it would be. Loved seeing everyone have such a great time, including your paddock mate and all the boys, it was so nice of you to share. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO LOUISE, you are a very special lady, thank you for your kindness!! Continuing foal watch along with all the Z Dumplings, prayers for a safe delivery coming your way sweet girl. Take care and get lots of rest, I think you are going to be very busy with a little someone soon. All my love, Dawn

My favorite post yet since you’ve been on foal watch. All the photos are great, but that one with Zenyatta and her paddock mate with Ann’s head in the middle is priceless. Thanks again for always keeping us fans informed.
JudyInSouthCarolina
Okay how many people (besides ME) just got done looking at those pictures and said to themselves……….”I want to WORK there!” LOL!
Looks like EVERYONE had a great time and, as said previously, how generous of our Queen to share her birthday treats with the stallions!
But, fun’s over. Time for a Baby to be born……………….(Zenny we love you but you are driving us nuts — AND wearing out our shoes LOL)
Celeste/ Massachusetts
Judy, I said the same thing to myself!!! I would LOVE to work there!!!!
Jan
Who is her paddock mate and why do they never post her name?
Looks like a wonderful birthday party!
sheena.davies(wales)
Her name is Violet Rose and I think she was bred by the MossesX
Patti Dohm
I love all the pictures from the party. So generous of Zenyatta to share her treats with the boys. I beleive someone switched Honor Code and Junior’s names around. I could not remember Honor Code being a palamio color. Thanks for showing them to us. When they leave racing we wonder about them, its good to get a picture of them. We are always sending Zenyatta our best for the big event.

Dear Patti D.,
The pictures start with the upper left and go clockwise; therefore, the top row reads from left to right and the second row reads from right to left. Junior is the palomino color — he is the handsome “blond guy”! ?
Hugs and Love

Dear Kathy.Wonderful devotional.I have just seen Zoe’s tribute to Holly and the beautiful photo.I know how much you must be hurting.It may help you to think of the great life Holly had with you and Steve.I see so much cruelty on Viktor’s page.I had a VERY late night watching the figure skating gosh that young Russian girl was superb.Our King of the Dyfi has returned and Blue 24 has just bought a trout into the nest.Dai Dots was mating with her this morning I have no idea what has happened to his wife Delyth Please hurry back Glesni.Now the fun begins!
It’s turned quite warm over here today(as in UK warm)only meant to last a couple of days.Hope you have a blessed Sabbath.Love and hugs to you,Kisses for Angel Holly,Nikko and Sugar SheenaXOXO And still we pace…..
Kathy
Dear Sheena,
It helps to look at Holly’s picture. I find myself listening for her toenails clicking as she’s following me around. She always was happiest when she was with me…Yes, I’n focusing on the time we had together, also trying to shower Nikko and Sugar with extra attention. The figure skaters are so wonderful to watch, superb athletes. Lots of excitement at the Dyfi. Have a blessed Sabbath. Love and hugs from me, kisses from Angel Holly, Nikko and Sugar. Kathy XOXO
Michelle
Adorable! I am delighted to see she is so well loved and cared for

Zenny:
So happy you had a wonderful time on your birthday! It looks like you got lots of cards and treats. And it was particularly nice of you to share your birthday treats with the boys and your BBF.
We are still pacing away waiting for the little one to come out and say hello!!!
We love you Zenny,
Linda
