It was a pleasure to be able to spend time with Zenyatta and see her doing so well. She was looking so good and, most importantly, happy! It was especially great to visit with some of her longtime friends Claudia and Julio, who never missed a race. There was lots of joy to be shared, and of course a few carrots :)
We also were able to visit with Coz, and what a special experience that was. I have always wanted to sit atop Zenyatta, not even hoping to ride her, but never got the chance. There I was, with Isabela and Sergio‘s kind suggestions and help, riding Coz!! It was absolutely thrilling and such a joy…something I had never even dreamed!
He continues to do so well in his new life and they are very excited about his coming competition in the Thoroughbred Makeover this October 5-7. I am so hoping to be there and cheer him on. It is absolutely wonderful to see him soooo relaxed and happy and actually “jumping” in joy.

What a joy seeing these new posts. I had a busy end of month with my company. I am now returning to life lol. Hello to everyone.
Ann thank you for sharing these pictures and videos.
Both of these horses are amazing. Zenyatta “played” on the race track and Coz now “plays” in the show ring. I too follow him on Facebook. You can see how much fun he is having. He is so intelligent, brave, and such a beautiful mover. I had always hopped he would get the chance to have another life. (I grew up showing Hunter/jumpers) Even at this stage in his new career you can see so much potential. I get so excited watching his videos as he continues to progress. My desire is for each horse to reach their full potential – I am happy for Coz that he gets to do something he loves.
There is something so special about Zenyatta. Those eyes of hers speak volumes. She holds a special place in my heart. I love the picture of her with the banana.
Again Ann thank you for sharing your amazing horses with us. It it greatly appreciated. (You look great as well!)

Dear Ann,Thanks so much for the update and the pictures. So nice to see our Queen looking so serene and happy with you! We are all so happy that you got to spend some time with Coz (I’m sure he was happy too!), and how special that you got to ride him. I might get to see him at the Thorough Bred Makeover as I will be in Lexington for a few days at that time. Best wishes to him in this exciting new adventure.

Just read the Paulick Report article. That woman should be charged. Sometimes I just do not understand people.

I am very happy for Zenyatta and Coz, but I don’t understand why no one replies to our questions about Ziconic. No one seems to care about our concerns. I can’t help feeling that for some reason he hasn’t been given the same interest as Coz, and the fillies that Zenyatta had, have enjoyed. For the life of me, I can’t understand why they don’t say anything at all about our beautiful prince, it’s a shame!
Z13Rulz
There is speculation (only speculation) that Ziconic and foals born after him (viable or not) may be tangled up in ownership issues and the divorce.
We know that Ann was authorized to continue to have this website, and update it on Zenyatta, but there was no official word about CoZ, Ziconic or Z17. CoZ we’re getting updates because he is a positive ambassador for the RRP and the DeSousas are doing regular updates as part of that program.
But Ziconic and the filly are in a greyer area.
If you think about it, we haven’t had a blog post about Ziconic since the separation, and even though we did get an official blog about the loss of Z18, it was barebones, just enough to ensure fans that Zenyatta was alright.
We never learned if she lost a colt or a filly.
Judy Berube
Dear Z13Rulz:
That makes sense. Maybe we’ll just have to wait and see when there are workouts or an entry for ZI. Many of us follow him and other favorites through Virtual Stables at DRF and get automatic updates.
Thankful that Z and COZ and doing so well and hoping the same for ZI and BBG. Thanks for you for input. Love and Hugs, JB
Judy Berube
PS: I often wonder if Z18 was a girl or a boy. RIP beautiful baby. Love and Hugs, JB

Delrene in Carlsbad, Ca.
Thank you so much for this wonderful update on Zenyatta, Ann And Cozmic One.
What an amazing treat for all of us to share in Ann’s joyous ride on Coz. Truly a dream come true.
Thank you for continuing to share ZenyTta and her extended family with all her fans. It was. Privilege to see her race.
And Yes! Catalina Cruiser is the bomb. I missed the paddock connection as to Zenyatta’s Paddock mates. He is quite the boy. Saw him race at Del Mar.
Oh to see Coz perform I. October. How fun.
God bless all who love living in Zenyatta’s world.
She always always makes me smile.

Congratulations to Serena Williams on reaching her 9th US Open final.She will play Naomi Osaka.I do miss Keta on twitter with all her tennis news.I am sure she is watching though.She would be thrilled Silver Quartz has just won.He is by Frankel.

Hovis has had a word with Aunty Em about that photo!!Safe trips to all horses especially Enable this weekend.
Marshall (NC Broad)
Dear Sheena,
As usual, Hovis has made me laugh out loud. What creative imagery! Hovis is such a talented horse. Alas, he (like Mr. Dangerfield) gets no respect. :-)
Thanks for the always humorous post, Sheena.
