VERSAILLES, KY — (April 20, 2014) It’s a girl! Zenyatta’s third foal was born last night at Lane’s End Farm. The bay filly by War Front arrived at 12:03 am, just in time for Easter. She has one white sock and a blaze.
The foaling, Zenyatta’s third in three years, went smoothly. In attendance were Zenyatta’s owners, Jerry and Ann Moss, Dr. Holder from Hagyard Equine Medical Institute, as well as Farm Manager Mike Cline, Broodmare Manager Charles Campbell, and others from Lane’s End Farm. The Mosses are overjoyed to welcome the latest member of Zenyatta’s family. The loving mother and full-of-life foal enjoyed a beautiful and sunny Easter day.
Zenyatta has previously delivered colts by Bernardini and Tapit. Cozmic One, born in 2012, is now in training at Mayberry Farm in Ocala, FL. Ziconic, the recently-named chestnut colt by Tapit, is a yearling under the care of Lane’s End Farm.
Thanks to the Zenyatta fans who have kept watch, posted comments, and sent good wishes!

Love this little gal and love how Zenny instantly knows how to mother her young. Ann looks positively smitten by both of them. Happy Easter to all!

Beautiful pictures of a beautiful family! Princess Z certainly knows exactly where the camera is, just like her Mama! I especially love the photo of Grandma Ann greeting her new grandfilly while a clearly very proud and deeply in love Zennie cleans her baby up. Zenyatta is an extraordinary mother; Princess Z is a lucky girl to have such a wonderful mommy!

She has Zenny`s eyes. What a wonderful blessing a beautiful filly that looks just like her mom. Congratulations on a smooth delivery and a healthy foal and mom.

Just the best Easter gift EVER!!! I have been checking in literally every twenty minutes since last Saturday when the Moss’ arrived and the foal watch began and can not express how overjoyed I was when my phone when off at 11:30 CST my time and I saw that Zenyatta had delivered an Easter Princess!!! A beautiful little filly as pretty as her mama!!! Thank you so much for sharing this very special moment with all of us and for keeping Zenyatta’s legacy alive!!! She just gets more precious with each passing day!!!
And if anyone could let us know about her best buddy, Life Is Sweet, and if she has had her Tapit foal that would be so awesome!!! I had the honor of meeting both of my precious girls last November and it was the BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!!!!! <3

Zenyatta is my all time favorite horse, and I have raised horses for years. I had an Easter morning foal born last year, and yeah she is a blessing from the Lord. You have a really special filly there, the Lord has given you an Easter blessing too.

Thank you Team Z for always keeping Z fans posted.

She is so precious… I was so hoping for a filly this time! : )
Someone earlier mentioned Stevie Wonder’s song “Isn’t She Lovely”…I think that would make a great name for her, with one small tweek to make it Izn’t She Lovely!! : )
So happy for Zenyatta and TeamZ!
