Happy Wednesday Dear Friends,
I have heard that everyone all over the country is PACING, PACING, PACING waiting to hear the news. As of this morning….I have not foaled. I’m not quite sure when it will happen. This is such a new experience for ME!
My dear pals at BARN 55…Mario, Steve, Michelle…and ALL of the others are anxiously waiting for the updates.
I must graciously say…so are YOU. I am extremely proud to announce that we have now passed the 100,000 mark in Face Book Fans. This is truly quite an accomplishment…and I want to THANK ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT! This number has more than doubled since I retired from racing and arrived at Lane’s End Farm. We have all come a long way together and have been blessed to share quite a fabulous and amazing journey. Again…THANK YOU!
As for my physical well-being….this morning’s reports are that I am doing great! I guess you could say I am taking my own sweet time to foal. You know ME…I have a tendency to keep people in suspense…on the edge of their seats…waiting to see what happens. That was definitely my racing style…and I gather it is carrying over to my new career in becoming a MOM!
I am happy, healthy, looking quite good (Blush, Blush…if I say so myself)…surrounded by people who adore ME. I genuinely feel all of the LOVE you all have for ME.
I am SO FORTUNATE!
I’ll keep you posted. Relax and have a FUN DAY! I know I will!
With Love,
Hugs to All~(All 100,000 plus of YOU! This is TOO CUTE!)

A beautiful, frosty morning in the Montana mountains this March the 8th and a full moon to light the skies tonight…sending love & prayers Zenyatta’s way throughout the day!
Celeste in TX
Well, I did it. Signed up for twitter last night so I would have another way to check on Zenyatta’s status. Guess that makes it official that I am nuts – lol!!
Back to pacing!
Stephanie in San Diego (been calm but now pacing with everyone else..)
Celeste, I signed up night before last and not sure I really know how to use it…but I keep checking every 15 minutes anyhow. Grew up always hearing…”A watched pot never boils” I am beginning to think that holds true for our Z girl. :))
Erin
Don’t you think that would make a great name? Zenyatta’s Magic?

Just checking in from Homeroom 215. Hi Z Family and that Beautiful Zenyatta. I now have teachers asking me if you had the baby. That is too cute : )
Karen B.
Well, like all the others, I am anxiously awaiting Z-NEWS FLASH! Happy and healthy foaling to our Z-Queen! I hope it’s a grrrrrrrl :)
Can’t wait for Z-Stepping of leeeeetle hooves.
Happy and healthy foaling to Tasty and any other expectant mommies…..

Dear Z’sters:
All of you who danced, sang or drank cups of coffee to stay awake in the wee hours of the morning, your posts are hysterically funny. Get some rest. Hugs, JB
Sierra is still patiently waiting
Hello Z!
I see still no foal well maybe you’ll have it tonight or on March 9th but I am hoping soon. It would be great for you to have a late foal but I think all of us Aunties might go a little crazy waiting. Hope you are doing well princess.
I love you and I cannot wait to see your foal,
Sierra

A solar storm today…hmm, if your little one is born today that might be a name to keep in mind! Solar Storm!
I heard it might interfere with cell phones and internet connections! Oh no!
Have a wonderful day Zenyatta! xoxoxo

While we’re all waiting, I’ll take a moment to again thank the greatest all time Thoroughbred horse owners, Jerry and Ann Moss, for enriching our lives so much.
The generosity of allowing us to share the vicarious experience with the most fabulous Thoroughbred mare, Zenyatta, is invaluable to us all.
Thank you so much.
Trina Nagele in So Cal
Hear, hear!
Rebecca from Ontario
It’s so wonderful to be able to follow along on Z’s daily progress. I’m so appreciative of the fact Zenyatta’s human connections are keeping us so informed. What great ambassadors for thoroughbreds & racing they are!

Well said and so true!

hi Z! I think my TB mare is suspicious since I’m so anxious this week, she woke me in the middle of the night so I got up and checked her then twitter but no more news since you rolled in the mud… the moon is very full now, it’s almost like day during the night;) I’m thinking of YOU constantly, can’t stay away from my computer for very long… LOVE YOU GORGEOUS MAMA XOXOXO

I’m pacing with the rest, Zen! I love checking in on your daily status to see how you’re coming along! But, as we know, the best things come to those who wait : )
Love to you and baby!

Good Morning Z’isters,
I guess we’re all still waiting? Hopefully not for long. As you all know, we are in rescue mode for the 7 horses in the Nevada feed lot and hope to save them from slaughter and find them loving homes like Zenyatta has. Lisag from Texas posed a question yesterday that I want to answer. She asked why the horses were being sent to slaughter. That is a good question. The horses in the feed lot are unwanted horses for various reasons. Usually its financial but it could be simply culling the herd or maybe something else. But what they all have in common is that they are unwanted. When taken to a feed lot, they are sold for their meat by the pound and shipped to either Canada or Mexico for slaughtering. People in countries outside the United States eat horse meat. I don’t want to go into the disturbing details, but suffice it to say we are not talking about a humaine situation for the horse. And we all share in the over-riding principle that horses are the backbone of how this nation was pioneered and deserve respect and our comfort and care. So Lisag, I hope you will consider helping Marlene in this rescue effort. The website where you can donate is http://www.valleyviewranchequinerescue.webs.com. Thank you, j

Thank you Jeanie!

Good morning all……………..I see there is no news yet today. I just HAD to go to bed last night after pulling an almost-allnighter the night before (thanks Mike!).
Maybe today will be the day.
Computer’s here on the east coast (at least mine) seem to be affected by the solar flare (slow response time, etc.) so I hope there isn’t any real interruption in service! YIKES!
Have a EVENTFUL day Zenny! We love you!

OMG would you puleeze have this baby already!!!!! I am thinking about it all the time!! I’m acting like an exectant father (and I’m a woman, LOL). I keep checking to see if it’s happened yet and……nothing! Why am I so nervous??? This is ridiculous! It is your style tho – you just bide your time, and then “wham”! I know it will happen when we’re all asleep, and when we check the website, the headline is gonna say ” IT’S A (FILL IN THE BLANK).”
We all love you, Zenny! Congrats on all the Facebook friends you have!
Cindy
Linda Edwards in NJ

Dottie, how ’bout a Tasty Temptation report. Zenyatta and Tasty are so cute together. Sounds like the moon will be closest to earth on Saturday. That would be cool as more people will be at home, I would think. Jeanie, thank you for the website. I plan to make a small donation in honor of Zenyatta and her foal. Sure hope you can save the 7 horses from slaughter. http://www.valleyviewranchequinerescue.webs.com
Debbie
I just made a donation, hope it helps;) LOVE YOU Z!!!

Hi everyone in the pacing community!
Has there been a siting of a large, gorgeous horse
coming from the backstretch, round the outside… yet?!
Blessings and love to everyone.
esp YOU, MOMMA Z and YOUR BABY Z
and YOUR Family there at Lane’s End….
everyone is going to have to catch up on Z’s bigtime after YOUR wondrous
delivery!

Am carving a circle in my living room from so much pacing !! Love you Ingrid.

@Allie in Texas,
Hi there! How are you girl? Hope all is well with YOU.
YOU HAVE JUST HIT ON A WONDERFUL IDEA!
LET’S MAKE OUR DONATIONS TO HELP MARLENE IN THIS RESCUE — LET’S MAKE THEM IN HONOR OF ZENYATTA’S FOAL. YOU CAN THINK OF IT AS SAVING A PRECIOUS LIFE IN HONOR AND RECOGNITION OF A NEW PRECIOUS LIFE. KIND OF LIKE IN LIEU OF A BABY SHOWER GIFT — WHICH WE REALLY DON’T DO FOR A HORSE. THINK ABOUT IT! YOU WILL BE GIVING THE GIFT OF LIFE TO HONOR A LIFE.
THANKS ALLIE! GREAT IDEA.

Dottie (the voice of Zenyatta) is probably busy with those close to Zen and wants to “share” the right news today… patience ;-)
