Hi Everyone,

As promised, we’re bringing you the latest updates on Zenyatta and Baby. Here’s a new shot of them enjoying the beautiful weather, captured for us by Jerry Moss. All is well, and they are both happy and healthy.

Many of you have been wondering about Tasty Temptation, so we asked Lane’s End for the lastest news. As of today, she still has not foaled.

We will keep you posted!

    PS Thanks for the update from Lane’s End. We are hopeless addicts for information and photos of our Queen Zenyatta. She fills our hearts and souls with joy. She is more than a mortal horse as she is our queen and unicorn. She is the muse of thousands who have been inspired by her persona. Through her eyes we can experience Zennyland, where the mythical and real have united. And she has inspired so many people to reach for the stars.
    We are extremely grateful for these efforts to keep us all updated. Thanks again to the Mosses, to Lanes’ End and to Dottie and John Sherriffs.

        Terri, it could not have been said more eloquently! Zenyatta gives all of us a place to gather and share true joy. She is a gentle soul, surrounded by a loving team of people, and that love has spread like wildfire to thousands of people who would not have known any of this particular happiness had it not been for one amazing horse named Zenyatta.I think that the way so many people feel for Zenyatta could is so much greater than could have ever been anticipated.

    I thought that I would re-post this here for anyone who wanted to read it particularly Lisag whom I think did not get to see this as she had requested it:
    I will post my actual post later to thank the mosses but I thought I would post this first:

    As request by Lisag I have written another poem
    Time
    Sometimes it goes by too fast
    Other times it goes too slow
    But sometimes we want it to pause
    Each minute and second that goes by
    Is important
    We can learn from every tick of the clock
    But will we?
    Will we learn to listen to what time tells us?
    I don’t know
    But I do know there is one
    One who listens to time
    She teaches us with each and every post
    Telling us how great she is
    Living life to the fullest
    Zenyatta alone knows
    That each second is precious
    Each breath she takes is sacred
    She knows that life is not to be wasted
    There is always something new to discover
    Always something new to love
    She knows that without time
    We could not love
    We would not meet all the people in our life
    Without time we wouldn’t be
    But the one thing that we know and she does not
    Is that with every second she set foot on the track
    We feel in love more and more
    For every second she spent writing with her pal Dottie
    We spent many more loving her
    As we always will
    Time cannot be paused
    But in only one place
    In our hearts

      Sierra, that is awesome. Thank you so much for sharing your poetry. I did not go back to the previous post and read it there and it is wonderful – thanks!

        • Wonderful poem. It sort of reminds me just a little of e.e. cummings “I carry your heart, I carry it in my heart”. I think that every time I see Zenyatta. She does that for me even though I’ve never seen her in person and probably never will. Somehow it doesn’t matter about that, it’s just knowing that she’s there and can see her pictures and now with her beautiful new foal.

    LE…you folks totally rock!~ I got my Z fix today because of you guys. Thanks so much for honoring the Mosses wishes to keep us updated. It really doesn’t take much to keep us happy…just a pic of those two cuties does it every time.
    I cannot imagine any other owners who would arrange for fans to keep in touch with their horse. We are really blessed.

    Thanks for the update on TT…we have come to love her too!

    Three cheers for the folks at LE! We got a pic of the Queen and her prince today with an update on the fabulous TT.
    It’s great to be part of such a welcoming extended family. Smiles all around tonight.
    Life is good! :-)

    THANK YOU!! For this site..it is truly Genius!
    Now that you have the attention of the World…
    Instead of walking away from all that power…
    You could use it wisely to inform people w/ horses about
    the deadly dangers of too much sugar(glucose) in a horses
    diet and foot care…Sacretariat’s untimely death was a result
    of this combination and ignorance….tell ’em

    Z – this is the most handsome foal ever and he looks like he’s on stilts with those long legs. I wasn’t expecting any posting today so it made for a wonderful surprise. Thanks!!

    Really concerned about Tasty, have been worrying about her. Wishing that she & Zen would be together with babies.

    hI… I am so glad we get to get some more info. Just as long as we get a little it will keep me happy and I want to be in the loop.

    Looking forward to when Tasty is going to foal. We hope it will be nice for her.

    I love all of you.

      That is really cool! Once again Zenyatta is one of the few horses in the last several years who get mentioned in the ordinary news sites of the day, not just the industry/racing news sites. This is yahoo news/sports so that is almost mainstream – woohoo! Zenyatta has made such an impact – it goes beyond just horse racing!

    Hi all…
    PACE…PACE…PACE…for Tasty
    According to yesterdays bloodhorse interview, Z and T will not be together …the foals not born close enough together …
    ….
    Per reading here…Z.com will continue….they are reformatting…
    “NEWS”…will be updates for us….not necessarily daily
    And a “FORUM” for us to talk to each other will be added
    …
    IS THIS MY UNDERSTANDING …does it seem right to you all…that would be “ya’ll” for all of the rednecks

    Dear Lane’s End – team and all who contribute. As our favorite scribe/racing manager would say, “Too Cute”
    Such a nice surprise! Thanks for the great photo Mr. Moss and we all appreciate the update on Tasty T.

    I hope everyone enjoys a very happy and safe St Patrick’s Day – sorry Zen, I’m sure no Guinness for you !!!

    Thank you so much for this wonderful photo of Zenyatta and her beautiful son! I do appreciate the update on Tasty Temptation also and hope that she continues to do well and will have a routine and easy foaling when her time does come. I sincerely appreciate the service you are providing by keeping us informed on our beautiful Queen. Thank you!

    Thanks Lane’s End and Team Z for the great photo and the update on Zenyatta and Tasty. You are so wonderful to keep us informed. Thanks also Marian for the information on the S.A. baby shower.

    I am so happy that we got another update! I think that the Lane’s End people understand that we are like foals when it comes to Z. The time must come for us to say goodbye but they know that we must be weaned gently off of her as it will otherwise hurt our emotional well being. Thanks to everyone for the kind messages about my poems! I used to hate poetry absolutely dreaded it whenever I got it in English. I always thought my dad is the poet of this family I will be the actress and story writer not the poet! But look at me now I just can’t stop! It is all thanks to everyone here who inspired me. Most of my poems are based off of something that was said here that really hit home. I am so glad that we will get a forum to share and that the Mosses and Dottie understand that we love each other just as much as we love Zenny.

    Dear “Team Zenyatta, Kentucky Branch” (aka Lane’s End) ;)
    Thank you for the update, the picture of Her Majesty and His Royal Cuteness and the update on Tasty. We appreciate you so much, especially since it is probably not quite what you’re used to- however, she IS a celebrity and DID come from “Hollywood” LOL.
    I think you guys are amazing, patient with her 102000+ fans, and still giving her, and all your other charges, such amazing care. I truly believe that Zennie couldn’t have retired to a better home, with the exception maybe of the Moss’ backyard….

      True. Its pretty incredible how people you have never met can become an important part of your life. I really enjoy gathering here even if i dont always post anything.

        Cindy I fell the same way also. Got very attached to all in just a couple weeks that I have been here. And I am going to meet some Dumplings at Santa Anita on Saturday. Cannot wait.

    So excited when I automatically checked the site and found this picture and an update. Just to see pics now and then and hear how things are going is so comforting and to see all the familiar posts – I agree with Lisa – I think I’m going to make it now!! Thanks Lane’s End and Mr. Moss for the picture. As Dottie would say – Hooves crossed for Tasty – (poor thing).

    A high Hoof to all.
