Happy Wednesday!
As most of you know, we went to Florida at the beginning of the month to check in with Coz who has been at Mayberry Farm in Ocala for two months now. Jeanne Mayberry established the farm in 2000 and now runs it with the help of her daughters Summer and April. Today they are teaching Cozmic One the skills and routine that Zenyatta learned in 2005.
In this video from our visit you’ll see Ann, Jerry and John Shirreffs observe Coz’s morning from stall time right through to his post workout bath. Video and photos by Tyler Matson and Kyle Acebo.
We look forward to interviewing Jeanne about the process of breaking yearlings and her experience throughout the years. And in the next few weeks, the staff at Mayberry Farm will be answering questions from the fans in our Mayberry Farm Edition of Ask The Experts. Submit your questions below!
Happy Thanksgiving!
-Team Z
Edit: Submissions to Ask The Experts are now closed. Thanks to all participants!

What a fabulous Thanksgiving gift to us. The video is excellent and it seems as if we will continue on Coz’s journey of becoming a racehorse. Remember when we were pacing in anticipation of his birth? Wow, all of us have come a long way…especially the beautiful Cozmic One. The Mayberry’s surely adore having him at their farm.

I was thinking the exact same thing Sue! what a Thanksgiving Gift :-)
Thank you Team Z and Mayberry Farm
We love you

I agree with this being a wonderful Thanksgiving gift to us. Prince Coz will always be the number 1 birth in my book. Zenny’s Diary got me through one surgery and long hospital stay, Coz’s birth pulled me through another surgery and hospital stay. Thank you, so much, Team Z! h+++

This is hard to explain, but it is so fantastic that being from Kansas I don’t get a chance to learn about the world of horseracing. But because of these wonderful people I have learned so much! And now because of CoZ, I am learning what it takes to try to become a racehorse! Whatever his destiny is on the track or maybe the breeding barn I am in horsey-heaven learning all about it! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I just can’t get enough!

I love the photos, video and having the opportunity to ask the Mayberry’s a question. Thanks, Team Z for a great Thanksgiving surprise for all of Zenny’s family of fans. Coz looks splendid…he has thet “Zen” glow about him.

That boy knows what side his bread is buttered on. He just loves Ann’s kisses!

You got that right and she held him in her arms when he was still wet from birth. Talk about a love connection, Ann sure knows how to wrap her heart around Z and her family.

Thank you Team Z for the photos and video of Coz. He is so handsome and he looks like his mom….and those ears are priceless….just like Zenyatta. I love watching Ann with Z and the boys…had me laughing out loud as I sat here at my computer by myself watching Coz wanting those kisses from Ann. This was a nice Thanksgiving gift. Happy Thanksgiving Ann, Jerry, and Team Z!!!

Thank you so much for sharing, wonderful to see Zenny’s first born in training. Wishing everyone happy thanksgiving – so much to look forward to with Z13 and Z14 x
tony
Is it just me or does everyone else get a kick out of seeing John with Coz? He must be anxiously waiting for the day when he gets him. Coz looks so relaxed and gentle but I’m betting his mom told him how to kick some butt on the track. He’s one handsome colt!
Darlene Daniels
Tony,
It is not just you. I loved seeing John there too. So much to look forward to.
Gwen Romine
Wow! Looks just like his mama!

How calm, cool and collected can a young horse be?? It is great to see him do everything so nicely! Thanks so much for sharing the pics and especially the video! Can anyone tell me how many hands he is at now?
izzy
Just what I was thinking! He looks huge!
Nancy
What a strong looking colt he has turned out to be! I reckon he will be one mean dude on the racetrack! Good luck, Coz!
Helen Springer
Thank you so much for sharing these photos and the video. Zenny’s fans can’t get enough information about her and her boys…I appreciate the Moss’s generosity SO much! You don’t have to do this, but you DO!

Thank you, so much, to the Moss’s for keeping us updated with photo’s and video of Coz and his journey to becoming a racehorse. It’s like they include us in their extended family in sharing their love and joy with all of Queen Z’s memorable moments including her next generation of thrills for us racing fans of Team Z. Coz looks wonderful with the exceptional care he’s getting down at Mayberry Farm. Cannot wait for Coz to strut his stuff on the racetrack! Thank you again for allowing us to be part of his and Z’s journey in life and being part of the Team!

Dear Zenyatta and Team Z,
Thank you so much for this amazing Thanksgiving gift. It was so wonderful to see you all spending time with Cozmic One. I am forever grateful for everything that you continue to do for us. Love seeing Zenny’s “not so little” boy. Coz is growing up quickly. It is very special to see him relating to people so sweetly, mom certainly taught him well. He is a gorgeous boy and we love him so much!!
Sandy, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! What a special friend you are to me. Thank you so much!! Hopefully the next time we meet we can spend more time together.
To my wonderful Zsters and Dumpling friends. In my last post, I was writing about the Zenyatta Celebration and forgot to indicate that my holiday card was intended for everyone. You are all very dear to me and I am grateful for your friendship. I am reposting the card here, just in case. Love and hugs, Dawn

Tears of joy looking at the wonderful photos and reading about our precious Z first-born. Thank you so much for giving us a window into this very private world. So many hopes and dreams rest on the broad shoulders of this amazing son of Z and Bernardini! Bless you all and Happy Thanksgiving to Mayberry Farm and everyone who take care of Coz, as well as Lane’s End, and Team Z! Hugs!!!

This is a Great Thanksgiving gift for us all! Thank You so much for updating Coz training. It was delightful to see him work out and to see how big he has grown. He still has that people personality that is so endearing to see. This was indeed waiting for!!!
Thanks again. :) We love you Coz
