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!
P.S. – This is post #201 to commemorate the second chapter of my life!

Congratulations to the new, upcoming parents! I read the article in the L.A. Times, but it’s not as thorough as your emails, Zenyatta. I can’t believe your new chapter in this wonderful life of your’s! By the way, how ’bout showing us a pic of your dad? What’s his name? By the way, I’ll eat some bananas for you on this end! Stay strong, girl!

Congratulations Ms. Zenyatta & team Z! You do pretty much of everything just right. May baby Zen be perfectly perfect. & Mom Zen be perfectly content throughout her pregnancy & beyond.

CONGRATS! I know you will be a wonderful Mom. Don’t forget to teach your baby the dance moves.

Oh Zenyatta, I’m sooooo Happy for you and Bernardini. I read about the news on the Internet last week and I posted it on my FB page, that you are in FOAL. All of my family and friends know I’m such a Z Fan, they give me and send me such wonderful things about you I have quite the collection. You are going to be such a Good Mama. Can’t wait to see the little one beside you….I know it’s a LONG wait but we will be here when that day happens. Hugs to you Sweet MaMa!

I read in our local paper that Rachel was in foal and I couldn’t wait to check on Zenyatta, since she was bred two days after Rachel. Congrats and thanks to Dottie who keeps us posted.
Whatawonderfulworld
It’ll be almost a year until your and Rachel Alexandra’s foals arrive. Ugh so much waiting! :p Maybe your and Rachel’s foals will race each other :-O

CONGRATULATIONS ZENYATTA!!!!!!!!!! You are in foal now!!!! I’m happy that your checkup went well and hope that your future checkups go equally well as your unborn foal develops. Bernie will be excited I’m sure. First I heard that you liked pears-now you’re into bananas. I’ve seen 2 videos in which you are eating pears and another horse is carrying on in the background. That other horse might have been jealous because he/she wasn’t getting pears like you were. There are much worse things for a horse to eat than pears and bananas, especially a horse in foal. I, also, have heard that human women sometimes have cravings for certain foods while pregnant. That may very well be happening to you. I’m happy that your unborn foal, so far, is in great shape. I know you’re excited, but I would advise against too much jumping around while in foal. You don’t want to do anything that might damage your foal before it’s born. It’s the same way with humans. They can’t drink alcoholic beverages, for instance. Thanks for the update and keep us posted!

I just hope that in 3 years we will be watching a wonderful colt, who is just like you, winning the Kentucky Derby. if not, a filly, who is just like you, allowing us to be as happy again as when we wee watching you run. Which ever we get, you go girl!!!

So glad your first mating was successful, now you can just relax and enjoy your days in the fresh air and sunshine which will be coming your way soon now that spring is around the corner ~ I know Kentucky has some harsh winters but the worst is over and soon it will be summer ~ the grass will be plentiful and you will be able to roll in it ~ hope someone is close by to snap that photo ~ I’m sure it will be “cute” to see you rolling before you get toooo fat from

I am so jazzed about the news that there will be the sound of little hooves bouncing about! I could tell you are glowing!
I guess you got to give up the Guinness for now.
Now,it is time to start planning the most outrageous “foul shower” in the world! Are you registered anywhere?
When will we know if it will be a filly or colt, or do you want that to be a surprise?
You must keep us all up to date w/ all the good news!
I love you so much!
