Team Z is in Kentucky for Zenyatta’s 8th birthday. We celebrated yesterday with Zenyatta, Baby Z and Lane’s End staff. Cards and gifts from the fans were highlights of the day, along with a very special birthday cake of pears and carrots. It was a rainy morning, but the sun came out just in time for the festivities. Baby Z got a kick out of all the attention and had just as much fun as his mom.
Everyone had a great time… no foolin’!
Here’s to another great year!
Cheryl
Glad your birthday was a special day!

Happy Birthday Beautiful!
Luv'n Zenny & Zunior
Baby Z’s little voice was so sweet. I guess he’s wondering why everybody was all around him and his mom, but he is getting pretty used to the camera by now. Now that they’ve uploaded videos from LE maybe we will start getting videos too. HOORAY!!. Zenny looks beautiful. Happy Birthday to the Queen.
Now how many owners do you see fly in for a horse’s birthday? Too Cute……

Luv’n Zenny and Zunior, wasn’t that amazing that Ann was there for Zenyatta’s birthday. She love’s Z and little 12Z so much, it must be hard to ever go back to California. Very special indeed.

Dear Zenyatta, Baby Z, Ann and Jerry Moss, and the Z-Team,
We are so happy that our card was read to Zenyatta on her 8th birthday. It was wonderful to be part of Zenyatta’s birthday celebration and a real thrill to hear our names read as the senders of the card.
Love from your New York fans,
Alice and Elaine

Happy Birthday Z Love you and baby Z

I bet grandma Ann got herself plenty of love and kisses off of her grandson. I bet they just about ate him up. I know I would’ve. I wonder if he got to help mom eat that special cake. I love it.

Zenny, thank you for sharing your 8th Birthday with us. Love the picture of you as you look so rested and happy… more so than your last year on the track. I think you were ready to retire and love being a Mom. So glad that your family was in Kentucky to help you celebrate. Loved the picture of your colt singing “Happy Birthday” to you.

Did Tasty attend? That would have been a nice birthday surprise for Z. Just because Tastys having in foal she could still get out and about can she not?
Allen
Happy Birthday Zenny !! So glad Team Z were able to be there for your Birthday. Sounds like 12 Z is wanting Mom’s attention. Thanks for the video, can never get to many pictures and videos of the Queen and Little Prince.

Thank you Team Z for sharing Zenyatta’s Birthday with us, her adoring dumplings. It looks like she had a wonderful time. The Prince will have to get used to all the fuss too, because as a future Champion he will surely be in the limelight too! I’m sure Zenny will teach him to be as sweet and kind as she is!

Zenny, YOU are the BEST Birthday gift EVER!
Wish you a life of peace, health, happiness and LOVE!

What a great surprise to find this today!!! (All of the “west coast Dumplings” really lucked out seeing it “early”). Beautiful pictures and video, and what fun to hear little 12Z in the background! Anxiously awaiting the next installment :-) Happy 8th year to your dear Zenny.
Love from your Ohio friend, Sandy
