Wish I could have been with you for your birthday party Zenyatta! I know it was a wonderful time with all those goodies. Sweet that they were shared to other stallions. It was great to see pics of them such as A.P. Indy.
Pictures of you are priceless!
Thanks to Ann and all for sharing your special day.
It is time to have your baby now!!
Blessings for you and baby
love you with kisses, Auntie Sally B

Beautiful photos of the birthday celebration. We particularly loved the close-up of Zenyatta’s beautiful face. We loved that she shared her treats with her paddock mates. When we visited in January, she adeptly bumped them away with her bountiful posterior keeping them away from the mints we were feeding her. No sharing that day.
Max
Nice detail about your visit. Thanks for sharing it.
Vicki B. (near the old Hollywood Park)
Agree, the intense close-up was nice. And thanks for the news of your visit.

YAY, Kaity! Those cookies look yummy, and it is obvious that Zenyatta likes them a lot. Big thank you’s to your daughter, Kaity — valued member of the Zenyatta Family! ?❤️

AP Indy!! What a treat to see!
Marilu Villanueva
Thank you for sharing the photos of her celebration.
Wish I was there. It’s wonderful that she shared her treats with her paddock mates.
Wow, what famous stallions to share her cookies.
I love her close up picture. The pictures of her with Ann are priceless.
Sending love and prayerful thoughts for you all day Zenny.
Love and hugs, Marilu

Beautiful pictures, wish I could’ve been there. Also love the pics of the stallions. Junior looks like such a handsome boy, no wonder he’s the busiest at the farm. ;)

WOW! This looks like it was a wonderful celebration, Zenny & Team Z! I, too, wish that I was there…..although, how much more attention does a girl need, right?
Interesting that Zenny & Louise share a birthday….Happy (belated) Birthday wishes, Louise!
I loved Zenny’s basket of goodies and the gorgeous cookies and the “stallion share.”
Thank you once again Team Z and Kyle for sharing this joyous celebration with me. I so deeply appreciate being part of Zenny’s life story!
Love & hugs to all and kisses to my Big Girl, the boys and Baby2B.
Forever in my heart, Z Princess.

Looks like Z had a celebration fit for her……the “Queen”…… love seeing all these pictures. It warms my heart to see such a heartfelt celebration for her. You can tell she enjoys every minute of it. She is one of a kind that is for sure and I am so glad Ann and Jerry have shared her with us fans. I am not sure which one was more excited Ann or Zenyatta……as I have said……..those two are so cute and special together. :)
Ann NC
Zenny really loves her friends at Lane’s End. Thanks for sharing these wonderful photos.

Today’s devo:
God Strengthens Us Through Others
“Simon, Simon, behold, Satan demanded to have you, that he might sift you like wheat, but I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned again, strengthen your brothers.” (Luke 22:31–32)
What about the other ten apostles (not counting Judas)?
Satan was going to sift them too. Did Jesus pray for them?
Yes he did. But he did not ask the Father to guard their faith in the very same way he guarded Peter’s.
God broke the back of Peter’s pride and self-reliance that night in the agony of Satan’s sieve. But he did not let him go. He turned him around and forgave him and restored him and strengthened his faith. And now it was Peter’s mission to strengthen the other ten.
Jesus provided for the ten by providing for Peter. The strengthened becomes the strengthener.
There is a great lesson here for us. Sometimes God will deal with you directly, strengthening your faith alone in the wee hours of the morning. But most of the time (we might say ten-elevenths of the time) God strengthens our faith through another person.
God sends us some Simon Peter who brings just the word of grace we need to keep on in the faith: some testimony about how “Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning” (Psalm 30:5).
Eternal security is a community project. Whenever God encourages your heart with the promise that in Satan’s sifting your faith will not fail, then take that encouragement and double your joy by using it to strengthen your brothers and sisters.

Oh Zenny, it looks like you had a wonderful birthday with lots of goodies, love, and attention. It was so nice that you shared with your paddock mate and the boys. Know they all appreciated it!!!! Great to see A.P. Indy…thank you Mr. & Mrs. Moss, Team Z, Team Lane’s End for sharing those photos!!!!! Hope the Great A.P. Indy is doing well.
Our baby is certainly taking her/his time. Probably realizes staying snug in Queen Zenyatta is the best place of all!!!!!
