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.
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!)

Would love to see the video, but it’s marked private. What does that mean? Congrats on your foal, now for a name!

I think they may have removed it to help with the site crashing. At one point I could view it and then the next I couldn’t. Hopefully it will be reposted. It is SO cute. :)

♥ OH ZENNY! ♥
Let me see if I can type through the tears of JOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A Full Moon Year of The Dragon Prince!!! I could just slobber him with kisses!! XOXO
John Henry – you have a Sweet Nephew to watch over and spoil from Heaven :D
I went outside around 6 p.m. tonight, Zen, and spoke to the Heavens, I fixed my eye on the Brighest Star – VENUS! I asked that she watch over you – my intuition was that you were foaling. I asked Venus to keep you safe. I even recorded the event – yes I recorded my speech to the Heavens. I know I’m NUTS but over YOU!!
I said it is March 8, 2012. I said that I wanted to remember this day many years from now when I’m very, very, very old and very, very, very gray……. WOW my prayers were answered.
I must leave to go visit FB…………. and hug my friends!!!
I ♥ LOVE YOU and BABY B!!!!! Hugs to ALL XOXO

Just look at her. She thinks this is the coolest thing EVER. She’s never had a baby, but it appears she already knew exactly what to expect! She thinks he’s the best thing since sliced bread. I love Zenyatta, she’s so happy in these photos, she’s so smart, yep- tears in eyes. Congrats on “Baby Boy Z Man”- He’s AWESOME and most definitely has Momma’s ears:)

ROFLOL moment!
At 7:40 pm west coast time–half an hour after Z had the baby I was saying the birth was still a week off!
Silly me! I guess I just should’ve guessed by the Moss’s taking a photo in the still with Z that something was up!
That photo with Ann–Z was probably in labor. Maybe not Stage 2 but they knew it was coming.
Oh I am so pleased! Such a beautiful beautiful baby. Bernie you done good. And Z that pic of you with baby is outstanding.
You guys need to use that as a poster and sell it in Z’s shop. It is just so beautiful.

This is such wonderful news. I am so very happy for Zenyatta, her baby and all of those closest to them. Even in her retirement, Zenyatta continues to draw the world closer to her. First as a champion, and now as a loving mother. I am so happy that Zenyatta and her little one are doing well, and you will remain in my thoughts and prayers always. Congratulations beautiful girl! Blessings to you and little Bernie’…..

Congratulations on the birth of your cute little guy! The pictures say everything as to your comfort and his health and beauty (which I’m sure he got from you). Thank you all for sharing this moment and wish only the best of success for Zenyatta and her colt.

Congratulations to Zenyatta and her entire team! My your feet be swift and heart be bold, Baby Z. He looks just like mom. <3 <3
Lou in TX
Awwwwwwwwwwwww Z, what a beautiful colt you have. He looks soo much like you. Look at those pointed ears just like Mom’s. And the beautiful white blaze on his forehead. I am so happy and relieved at the same time! Glad Mom and baby are doing great. Can’t wait till tomorrow when we get to see more pictures of you both.
How is Tasty? Did she have her foal this evening? Won’t that be fun when the two babies get to run and play together. And the Mom’s can compare stories.
Love you sooooo much Queen Z and now we have a precious little one to love to.
Hope you get some rest tonight sweet girl.
Love you……Lou

Congratulations to Jerry, Ann, Dottie and John! What a sweet photo of mother and son. Such a poetic moment.
I don’t know why, maybe it’s the small dab of white on his head, but I am reminded of a Cat Stevens song, so, for some mythical reason, here is a verse:
“A gardener’s daughter stopped me on my way, on the day I was to wed
It is you who I wish to share my body with she said
We’ll find a dry place under the sky with a flower for a bed
And for my joy I will give you a boy with a moon and star on his head.”

Zenny I am so thrilled for you! Your little boy is just gorgeous and looks just like you!! Having a baby is the hardest work you’ll ever do but it is oh so worth it. Now all the fun begins… It won’t be long before you’ll be running again… But’ll you’ll be running after him… He’ll be your running partner too. I know Tasty is excited too. Your little one will have a playmate soon… I know you’re pretty tired so rest when you can and we’ll see you in the morning. I love you sweet girl…
