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!

you can tell she’s gonna be a strong little girl… perhaps the first filly to win a triple crown? if not,she should at least follow in her momma’s footsteps.
P.S: Z’s little Warrior Princess is STUNNING!

She is beautiful and looks like her mom who is also very beautiful, If they were mine I would name her Zen’s Easter Surprize, but she is not mine but I hope I learn what they name her

This has just made my week!! I LOVE the picture of Zenny nose to nose with her baby, as if too say “This is my baby” and the one with Ann leaning in to look at her foal. She is just so beautiful and she looks quite a bit like her mom. Thank you again for keeping us posted!!!!

This filly is going to be extra special !
I will be following her !

What a perfect blessing for Easter! She is so precious and looks just like her brother Ziconic. Literally, I almost shut down the computer last night and looked one more time to see Judy from California’s post of a new Princess in our midst. I am so glad that Zenyatta had a smooth foaling and that CoZmic One and Ziconic have a baby sister that they can spoil as Zenyatta and the rest of the team will for the newest filly. What a thrill, indeed. Congratulations Zenyatta, Jerry, Ann and Lane’s End!

She is beautiful, congratulations!

We are overjoyed with Zenyatta’s beautiful filly. She looks so like her mum. And so like Zenyatta to keep all in suspense and wait to foal until three minutes into the Easter holiday.
BRAVA, ZENYATTA!

Congratulations, Zenyatta, on another job well done. What a gorgeous filly! Bet the Mosses are so proud. Of course, thanks to Lanes End for taking such good care of you. I wonder if you are going to have a date in the breeding shed this year. Just heard that Tiznow is poised to be in the top 5 of the 2014 Leading Sires List. Oh, would that be a beautiful foal or what… I can dream. Kisses to your soft nose, Zenny, and big hug for Z-14. Sending virtual peppermints for Coz and Ziconic.

Wow!!! Could not have even dreamed of a more beautiful foal. Congratulations to every one, especially the queen herself, Zenyatta.
Janis OConnor
She looks like her Momma. Has the same similar little piece from the pie in her blaze. What a pretty little princess.
Judith Ochs
So happy for a filly! Shows how Zenyatta changed the world and its thinking- before only a colt would have been reason for such joy – yet now, girl power!!!! Amazing, amazing mare is the great Zenyatta.

Dearest Zenny– we are not surprised, but ironically we are always amazed that you do EVERYTHING to perfection. What a lovely all- girl picture of Mama Ann, you, and this precious new addition. She’s not even an hour old, and she already has us all wrapped around her little hoof.
Let me share something that struck me as funny. This afternoon after we had all pored over the photo, our daughter had her phone out and checked her FB page. There it was:: the picture of you and Baby Z on the page posted by a boy in her high school class. He had posted it for all to see. How cute. Love and hugs to all, and congratulations to all the staff at LE, War Front, and everyone on Team Z. You’re the best.

Dear Barbara, I couldn’t agree more. We are so blessed by the Zen-magic that Zenny continues to bring to our lives. Everything about her and the way she touches all of the hearts is so very beautiful and inspirational.

What a beautiful baby, so happy everything went so smoothly. Big Congratulations to Zenyatta, the Mosses and connections, can’t leave War Front out also. I was happy when I heard she was going to War Front, he was who I had in my mind and was hoping for her to be bred to.

Dear Z Fans:
Looks like she may have Daddy, War Front’s Bay Color. She’s a Doll. Love and Hugs, JB

Dawn Conrad / Colorado
I agree, Judy. It is hard to tell exactly what color she is from the sun shining on her coat, but it certainly does appear to be a little lighter than Zenyatta’s. I have been up close to War Front several times and as your picture shows, he is quite the handsome boy. Hopefully our princess has received the very best that both War Front and Zenyatta can give her and that’s a great deal for one little baby. Hugs, Dawn

Dear Dawn:
Yes, her coat could change of course, but she does appear to be a lighter Bay than Z or COZ and more like War Front. She’s got those Roberto ears like Mama Z. She must be a feisty little one judging from Team Z’s description “full of life foal”. What an absolute Doll she is. Love and Hugs, JB
Sarah
I love the posts calling her Prinzess, a very fitting nickname! And I love the similarities too (yes, those ears!)
Congratulations,Team Zenyatta on the birth of this lovely Easter filly.

Linda Hoke
Big congratulations to the Mosses, and the amazing Zenyatta, on the birth of a lovely filly. The little one has such a gorgeous head! I’m so pleased to see she and Zenyatta were able to get outside and enjoy some sunshine, especially considering the kind of weather the eastern states have experienced lately.
