HELLO EVERYONE!
I’ve missed YOU!
I guess my guys at the farm could not wait a moment longer…and they scanned me this morning. I just had to share the news with you!
I AM IN FOAL!
This is my 15 day scan! From what I am told, everything looks fabulous and solid. The embryo looks to be a good size. So, at this time, everything is WONDERFUL!
I will be rescanned at about 28 days and if that is all A-OK, my next scan will be at the 40-42 day time period from the date I was bred. As Dottie explained to you earlier, the latter scan is really very important. If all is perfect at that time, then I am pretty well on my way in my pregnancy. This is all so exciting and so new to me! I JUST LOVE IT!
David actually called Dottie at 4:33 this morning (California time) to tell her the news! She immediately ran to the computer to type up the announcement for YOU!
I truly hope you enjoy sharing these moments with ME and going through all of these different stages that I am experiencing in my life.
Hmmm! I just had a thought! Lately, I have been craving BANANAS. It seems like that is all I’ve been thinking about for the last few days! I guess this could explain why. Dottie tells me craving some type of food is very normal for humans while pregnant. Maybe it is for horses like me too! This is TOO CUTE!
Oh my! I better contact BERNIE and let him know the good news! I’m sure he will also be very excited!
WOW! I’M IN FOAL! I’m really embarking upon an entirely new stage of my life and career. As you can imagine, I’M JUMPING FOR JOY!
HOOVES CROSSED for the news on my next scan to be just at POSITIVE!
With Love,
HUGS and Big Kisses to All~

ME…IN FOAL! YIPPEE!

Hey lady!!! I hope you’re feeling and doing good! Happy as any new mom would be.
Thank you so much, Dottie.

Teresa E. Zennie has had one career and now she’s moved on. Sure we fans miss her. And on some level I bet Zenyatta misses the track. But not enough to make anyone think of unretiring her.
As for her being pregnant–statistically speaking about 1 in 4 pregnancies don’t occur. Look at La Ville Rouge–her body was tired and just said NOPE not this year. Trust mother nature a bit. If her body isn’t up to it mother nature won’t allow her to get pregnant.
Unless the Moss’s go by way of IVF. And then the foal would not be able to be registered–possibly under another registry but not TB. I can’t see them doing that but then Zennie has dance moves that anyone on DWTS could happily drool over to have! But dance moves don’t equate to dressage necessarily.

Just Wonderful!!!!

GOZENGO!

I bet he was so excited he could hardly stand it. They look great in the photo! That Lady Zenyatta looks great from every angle! She is just so amazingly beautiful & Blessed with perfect features that are wonderful to behold and her personality makes her even more special to all of us! Congratulations to Zenyatta & Bernadini! I know the baby will be beautiful because of her parents. I pray that she has a healthy & safe pregnancy. Zenyatta, just tell them what you crave & you’ll get it.

Keeping our hooves crossed in Michigan.

I just put your 16×20 picture that arrived last week in a frame, beside Secretariat and John Henry. Our mare loves bananas too and she is not pregnant. Best of everything. Hope to see your foal and Rachael’s running someday side by side.

Zenny! I’ve been away for a week and couldn’t wait to pop in to see if there was any news. Congratulations on your pregnancy! I am beyond thrilled for you and all of Team Z. You deserve every happiness in your new life as do the wonderful people who have and are caring for you. Dottie…you are a true “gem”. Keeping us informed is something so few people would do for a “retired” racehorse. But Zenny is special…so are you. A heart felt thanks to the Mosses for continuing to share their spectacular mare with her adoring public. I’ll be anxiously following every aspect of her new adventure.
tony and sue
Congratulations! We are so excited about your news. Thanks, Dottie for continuing to share Z’s new life with us.

Prayers are going to you and your team. I hope all of you can feel our love and our heartfelt thanks for sharing your gift with us.
Sharon Tupper
Congratulations, Zenyatta!!!! I am so happy for you that you are going to be a mom for the first time. I bet your owners were really excited to learn the news. I hope you have a filly that is as beautiful as you are.

Zenyatta, I was watching some of your interviews on YouTube and was wondering if Dawn or any of the other Vets came to visit you at Lanes End. Loved the interview with you and Barry Abrams. You were so cute. Take care and stay healthy.
max
Queen Z. I also voted for your mom. She certainly deserves the title. Have a great weekend brunch with lots of pears and bananas and the company of your pals.

To Cathi: Thank you for your post about the unknown effects of ultrasounds on the unborn.
Annabel Girard
OK — what I want to know is how does it feel to a horse when those kicks in the belly start and how does a horse react.
Karen Line
Zennie — you are simply magnificent.
May you stay healthy and happy while you create your first foal. May you and your little one stay well each step of the way.
You are so very loved and appreciated for everything you are — from the Warrior Queen you were on the track to the Queen Mum-Z you are soon to be!
Jamie
That’s the best news…. Hugs to Team Z and congrats to Zenny!
Trina Nagele
Thanks to Carolyn and others for the tip about being able to vote for Zenyatta’s mom Vertigineux for boodmare of the year at Blood-Horse.com. I just voted!
@Sal Agro–Yes, “When We Dance” is a great name!
Peggy
@Ensighn, or anyone that might have knowledge or info on this..very important. Do you know if the Stallions at the Iburi Stallion Station are O.K.? One of my favorite horses is there (Charismatic) in Japan. I believe Megahertz and several other well known american horses are there as well. Anyone with knowledge please post……..Love to Zenny
