Friday Filly Update

Happy Friday!

Zenyatta’s Candy Ride filly is almost three months old, and we couldn’t have asked for a better baby.

Currently weighing almost 400 lbs., she’s above average in height, well-balanced, athletic and leggy.

Much like her mom, she loves attention from humans. Her equine social circle includes offspring of Bernardini, Medaglia D’Oro, and another Candy Ride foal as well.

Check out the collection of photos and videos below!

      Wow, Z20 certainly knows she’s “all that”, with Mama’s confident attitude, ears and caboose! Maybe she’ll be tall like her, too. I couldn’t take my eyes off of her, she is simply stunning. Even her pasture mates know who’s running things. Zenny looks really happy and healthy, so proud of her precious baby. As always Team Z, thank you for the happy tears with the videos and photos.

    Baby Z is adorable! I’m glad she likes attention from humans like her mama. I especially like the video where Zenyatta knows someone has treats! I fall in love with her all over again. Thank you for these updates and I hope everyone there is keeping safe.

    Thanks for sharing these wonderful photos and videos!! She is just adorable, cute, stunning, etc. etc. These are a real bright spot in a summer that hasn’t had a lot going for it.
    The new format is a bit confusing as there is no way to navigate here from the previous blog (or get back to it) or to know that there IS a new post. I knew to check only because someone else had posted about this one on FaceBook.
    For the Hovis fans who didn’t see it before the switch, I’m reposting the link to this week’s adventure.

      Dear Sandy,

      I posted a reply to your post on the previous blog entry. How odd that you didn’t see the arrival of the new blog entry — very strange. Hope that was a one-time thing.

      Hugs and Love

    Thanks so much for posting the recent updates on Z20. She is simply adorable, with all the physical and mental attributes of her Mum, the great Zenyatta. I predict that she will be one to reckon with on the track. I have thought about several names for her and have landed on Zandi Cane. It is a mash-up of both CR and Z with a little sweetness mixed in. Wishing both Z and Z20 the best wishes ever. Love them both.

    Dear Sandy (Northeast Ohio)

    I found it puzzling to find the previous blogs. I’ve had to go to the main page and select the image for that blog and go from there. But you’re right, it’s tricky. Maybe an exercise to stir my sluggish brain cells. Cheers Kathy

        Can’t wait.
        Yes, safe and sound. The weekend left me closing my eyes with the gate mishaps. Gate schooling class is now in session? Yikes!
        Anyway, hope everyone has a nice week.
        Love to all and a big kiss to 20Z…too cute!
