Happy Monday!
We celebrated Zenyatta’s birthday at Lane’s End last week with carrots, pears, yams, mints, cupcakes, and even Guinness! Fans sent birthday cards and cakes for Zenyatta and Ziconic, who shares his birthday with his mom. Scroll down for photos from our party.
Enjoy!

Thank you for sharing these happy pictures. I LOVE this mare! Since Queen Z was treated to her Guiness, I’m surmising she’s not in foal yet. (Or maybe beer doesn’t matter with pregnant horses.)

Zenyatta so knows who her people are. It’s so lovely to see her happy and enjoying her visit with Ann and Jerry. Happy Birthday Zenyatta and Ziconic.

Queen Zenyatta, you certainly know how to cheer me up at the end of a rough day. Although you have a great sense of how special you are, you are so aware it is your birthday. You and Mrs. Moss are quite generous to let us see the bond you share that transcends species. Jan sent you beautiful cakes…I know everyone loved seeing and tasting them. Mr. Moss looks great handing out the goodies, and Mrs. Moss is happy and proud of her Z-shirt. Look at all those cards…you are a mosted loved and treasured girl. I must say I enjoy a Guinness myself, but I don’t look quite as regal as you with my tongue smacking at the taste. It was a beautiful day, the sun was on your withers as you basked in the love, camaderie, and adulation. I am sure you had a thought or two of Ziconic and he of you, his Royal Mother.
Thank you Mr. & Mrs. Moss, Team Zenyatta, Team Lane’s End for sharing these precious moments with us. The ladies look especially stunning in their black and white portrait.
Love to All,
Mary in Boone

Thank you for sharing the lovely pictures from Zenyatta’s birthday party! It looks like everyone had fun, including the birthday girl herself. Zenyatta looks magnificent and quite happy. I’m truly grateful to the Moss’ for continuing to share Zenyatta with us. She means a lot to many of us.
Hugs to all,
Leslie

In a couple of the photos, I see a small round disc attached to the right side of Zenyatta’s bridle. Isn’t that the disc for her next foal? 16Z? Hmmm…. What does this mean? I can’t believe that Zenyatta is already 11 years old. I’m looking forward to seeing Cozmic One begin to race, soon. I’m REALLY looking forward to seeing Ziconic run. He looks like a beast! Thanks to Team Z for sharing.

What a fun party Zenyatta! I bet you were so happy to see your mom and dad and all the birthday treats they brought for you, pretty girl. I am so glad we are able to share in these special moments of your life, sweetie pie. Love you!

What wonderful owner’s Mr. and Mrs. Moss are to share the most wonderful mare of all time with us! Thank you so very much. I can’t wait to see her babies race, if they are half the horse she is we will be in for a treat. Thank you so very much!!
Paula Higgins
These pictures absolutely made my week!! Just wonderful and so hard to believe she is 11 now. She still looks like a spring chicken to me. So glad Ann and Jerry are always there to support her. Simply the best owners in the world. The cakes were beautiful and the cards from her fans shows she has the best fans in the world too.

We love you, Queen Z. All of Team Z…you are so special to us. Here we are, five years after her racing career ended and more in love with her than ever!

I have to say something direct to Ann. You are someone very special. You absolutely glow when you’re around our Queen. The two of you share something unique and almost spiritual and it shows in both of you! I am amazed that you continue to keep us in Zemmy’s life…that is in itself a rare gift.
To my beloved Zenny…you deserve everything good that life has to offer. You inspired thousands just because of who you are…a rare gift sent from God himself.
