Z's Diary

Diary Post #454


Dear, dear, dear friends,

I am so proud and elated to share the news with you that I am now a MOM. I just gave birth to a lovely dark bay COLT, March 8th, at approximately 10:10 p.m. Eastern Time.

My adorable foal weighed in at 130 pounds, has a white star on his forehead….and some white on his feet. As Ann commented when she saw him, “he has polka dots on his feet, Zennie, just like YOU.”

All went very well with the foaling. I must say….I did it like a CHAMP!

My foal is absolutely precious…and I am so pleased to share this entire experience with all of you…my precious and loving friends.

Photo by Ann Moss.

We are all still just getting acclimated to this entire new experience. I’m doing great. MY BABY is doing great….and Bernie is also excited! I’ll update you again with some more photos in the morning.

All blessings to each of YOU….and THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART….for being there for ME and SHARING THIS WONDERFUL PART OF MY LIFE WITH ME!

With Love,
Hugs to All~(Can you believe it…..I’m now a MOM!)

      Number one fan and number one colt.

      So glad you had a boy; the hopes of a Triple
      Crown winner could be real.

      Zenyatta’s baby was born in Kentucky just after the worst tornadoes in Kentucky’s history swept through the state. I would love to see the colts name honor this time.

        I sure wouldn’t. People and horses lost their lives, just not in the immediate Lexington area. He deserves a positive name.

Many blessings, much happiness for future success and great health and legs that fly like the wind! I still like my name suggestion…Yadda Yadda Yadda! Zen’ looks quite at home…all settled in for maternal duties! So happy for all and thanks for sharing your beautiful horse and her son with all the world. She is so special and dear to us all!

        “Moonlight Prince” or “Full Moon Prince?” I still love “Zendini” best. I like the moon aspect of the name though. I’m sure the Mosses probably have something in mind already, but perhaps they are reading out suggestions too ;-)
