Today concludes our second week of foal watch. We must admit that we arrived a little early! Zenyatta has kept us waiting, but she’s showing signs that it won’t be too much longer. As always, we’ll let you know as soon as there’s news.
We also have a little update on Ziconic from John and Dottie. They say he is doing quite well following his March 25th race. He’s been getting lots of gate practice and learning to be comfortable in small spaces. We can’t wait to see what’s next for him.
Scroll down for photos from the last few days at Lane’s End.
Enjoy!

Love all the special photos and thank you for the updates….hopefully tomorrow night the moon will get Zenyatta in the mood for a delivery!
Great to hear news of Ziconic….he’s a special boy with lots of speed! He’ll get the hang of things! :)
Love to all, Stel

She looks so mild mannered. Glad to hear about Ziconic is getting gate practice!

Any time you’re ready Zenyatta. You’re probably enjoying your visits with Jerry and Ann and all those nice treats, before going about the business of being a momma. Totally understandable. We’re loving the pictures. All the best.
Lori Stein
Thank you so much for the update. She looks amazing. Waiting with baited breath.

Thank you so much for the update. Zenyatta is the horse that ignited a passion in me. I am just happy that she is doing well, however very anxious for that baby!

Zenny looks so calm and sweet. She surely loves having her humans surrounding her.
Love all the photos and the latest news on Ziconic.
Kathy
Thank you, Team Z. We can’t wait to see Zenyatta’s little one! Prayers for a safe delivery.

Our Zenny is so very smart. She knows the sooner she goes into labor, the sooner her beloved Ann and Jerry will return to California!! Those carrots look delicious Mrs. Moss, and I love the black and white photo of Mr. Moss and Our Queen. So much happiness and love. Although Zenyatta is treated like the Queen She truly is at Lane’s End, it must be difficult for Mr. & Mrs. Moss and Team Z to say Goodbye.
Love to All,
Bon chance Zenyatta,

EThank you for the update. I am glad you said you arrived early. So awesome of you to let us know. The news about Ziconic is great. What a beautiful horse. Z looks very comfortable. But like you sad she is showing signs. Very cool. We love all of you. God bless.

Zenny is in my prayers always but especially now that she will deliver her 4th foal. Waiting is hard for us, we run to our computers to see if there is any news, well maybe tomorrow. I am thrilled to see she is starting to show signs of foaling. I can’t even imagine how it is and will be for Ann and Jerry to see such miracle for the 4th time.
It is so clear how much Zenny and Ann love each other. Especially in the picture of them with the water bottle. Ann has a beautiful natural smile and Zenny was thirsty just lapping up the water.
With them getting there to early,it is never to early for Zenyatta, I bet she wishes they were there with her everyday….. Lane’s end is so accommodating to us the fans. They are the back bone of the care and happiness that Zenny clearly gets and ALL the of horses in their care. A BIG thanks to Kyle for the superb photos.
I hope when I get back on the computer there will be a notice, It’s a Colt or It’s a Filly and pictures, at least a few.
Sweet Dreams to ALL!
Safe Delivery Zenyatta!
Lots of Love from NC

❤ We all know how much you loved storming the homestretch, dear Zenyatta! Well, another kind of homestretch now lies in front of you. Good luck for a safe and uneventful journey, with the best kind of prize at the end! A healthy new prince or princess! Godspeed! ❤

Thanks for the updates and the pictures! Just wonderful. Peace & Happiness

Alright Zenny, uncross those legs!!
This is what I posted to someone’s news feed on Facebook a day or so ago.
” I have decided that Zenny has her legs crossed so the baby won’t come out! I think she knows that Ann and Jerry Moss will stay in Kentucky until after she has her baby, plus a couple of days after the birth! ”
I so hope and pray that she has an easy foaling with no complications, and that the baby will be a nice healthy one.
Thank you Ann and Jerry Moss and the rest of Team Z for being so thoughtful in keeping all of Zenny’s Dumplings in the loop! I LOVE all of these great pictures!!
I love you so much Zenny as well as all of your kids!!!!!

I LOVE the black and white pic of Z and Jerry…Z with her hind end to us. Poster size please! That’s an awesome pic!
As for Z getting ready…Z if you could wait till the 9th, I have family with that birthday. Could you possibly wait? Honest it doesn’t matter to me…I just want a happy healthy baby. I’m getting a bit antsy for this baby. Back to crocheting….

Thanks to Team Z and Kyle for the beautiful pix and the update! Zenyatta looks beautiful and you can tell that she’s happy to be with Ann and Jerry. I have a feeling she doesn’t mind that they came early. I know these things can’t be rushed, but I hope the foal comes soon.
I’m glad Ziconic is doing well. Once he gets comfortable with the gate, he’ll be rolling down the stretch just like his mom.
Thanks again!! I love the pix and updates!
Hugs to all,
Leslie

Oh my! You need to have your foal soon mama.. Thanks for the lovely pics, everyone looks good. And, thanks for the update on Zi.
JoAnn Swensen
Zenyatta you beautiful lady .. you are keeping most of the horse world waiting .. LOL
Love Ziconic … he will come along just fine .. I don’t blame him for being startled by that bird and left behind at the gate … poor boy … he’s young … when he gets his confidence back .. he’s going to give us all thrills like his Momma did !

“Zenyatta’s Waiting Room”
On the web or Lanes End,
pacing going on round every bend.
From Kentucky to Wales,
Love is sent from each friend.
The fans of Zenyatta
all have their views,
whether filly or colt,
all awaiting the news.
Zenny’s own timing
is always just right,
Baby Z will arrive
be it day or at night.
So be patient, keep pacing,
aunties, uncles and all
soon a foal will be racing
in sweet Zenny’s stall.

Thank you for the updates. I adore the photos of Ann and Jerry with Zenyatta. Ann just glows in those pictures, and I can tell those are premium carrots she’s sharing with Zenny. Best wishes to the Mosses, Zenyatta, and the entire staff especially during this exciting foal watch time. If it was me, I’d probably be sleeping in the barn!
Kimberly
Momma Zenny is waiting for the right time for her baby! No rushing her. Can’t wait to see what’s next for her!!!! Thank you for the beautiful pics!!!
Jacqueline Anderson
I have so enjoyed all the news and pictures you have so willingly shared with your public. Makes me feel that it is so American of you. I love horses, just looking at their beauty and how anyone who invests their time working with them in so many ways, the reward is beyond words. You folks at Lands End are so gracious to share all this with us. I thank you for sharing, I feel so lucky and feel that the Queen Z is part of my family.

Per usual, I was panicking for no reason! I am very relieved to have received an update on our beloved Zenyatta. Thank goodness everything appears to be going according to plan – it’s just not the one I was hoping for :) I’m teasing of course. Could Ann be any more gorgeous? I mean honestly, she’s a stunning woman and she just glows when she’s beside Zenny which is a wonderful anomaly in the horse racing world. For those experts, if you don’t mind, what types of signs are they referring to? I have no experience with broodmares, hence the reason for the dumb question!
Marshall (NC Broad)
Dear Mosses, Team Z, and Lane’s End,
Many thanks for these excellent pictures and of course, thanks to expert photographer Kyle, too!
I love all the photos. Honestly, Zenyatta, Ann and Jerry make wonderful “camera music” together.
How lucky we are that you allow us to be part of this journey, this fabulous adventure!
Blessings and Love to all of you. ❤️
Hugs and Sweet Dreams
