Happy Monday!
We had a great time at Lane’s End. Zenyatta and 12Z were happy to see everyone, and there were plenty of carrots to go around.
12Z is now tall enough to put his head over the fence, and he weighs in at 560 lbs! He was in a playful mood and had lots of fun with both horse and human friends. Zenny showed off by splashing in the mud from Thursday night’s rain.
Here are a few photos from the trip. Check our Twitter and Instagram for more!
The Mosses also went to see one of their fillies at the farm. She is a little bit older than 12Z, and has recently been weaned. She is turned out with a happy and inquisitive group–some of her paddock mates had been weaned just two days before.
We took a video of them walking over to say hi.
Enjoy!

Zenyatta looks more beautiful each time I see her pics. 12Z looks wonderful & healthy. Looks somewhat like his daddy Bernie. Except for those ears & bum..
Thanks so much to the Moss’s & Lane’s End for sharing their precious Zenny & her boy with us. The fillies are gorgeous.
Cheryl Harshall
Thanks so much for the photos. Z looks wonderful and baby is turning into quite the handsome man. Just seeing these pics improves my whole day!
Fran
Thanks so much for sharing. Z12 is an active, precious boy. He needs a new halter-LOL!
Sue Fredrick
Thank you, Alys and especially the Mosses for these wonderful pictures……..what a treat this was. They are such great people to share Zen and EARnie with us. He is going to be awesome, he has such presence already, and I think he knows he is from royalty and is very special. I hope they know how much we already love him, as we did his mama, who is still stunningly beautiful. Love you so much Zennie and baby to.

The Photos are great as always Our First Lady of Racing looks absolutely beautiful. I’am sure she is going to miss that rambuncious son when he is weaned. He looks so much like MOM and one can see he is certainly made of the same stuff as MOM. He has that look. Some thing about that look,LOVE IT
sue and tony
Indeed he does have “that look”. How blessed we have been to be able to follow our Queen and her Prince at the beautiful LE. The fillies are gorgeous, too. How on earth could you ever leave this place? It must be so hard for Ann to leave Ky.
Cecilia Thompson
I lov e the pictures ,look forward to seeing any new ones.Thank you for being so generous with your amazing lady and her foal.

Thanks to Jerry and Ann sharing their visit with us. It just made my day to see them all so happy! The foals are growing at such a fast rate and Zenyatta, she is just exquisite!
I do believe Zenny loves seeing them. Great photos.
Abigail from Montreal
WOW! These photos are just spectacular! Like all my other Zen friends, I echo that the first shot here of Zenny is a CLASSIC and Z-12 is such a big colt that I can’t quite believe it….I mean, OUR ZENNY is 17h+ and just look at him standing beside her!!!! The whole series of images are just amazing, too, because of the way the emerald greens highlight Zenny & Big Baby Z’s coats.
It’s just so completely fabulous, the way all of you at Team Z “abide” with us so faithfully and generously. I deeply appreciate it. At a time when even my mentor, Steve Haskin, is suggesting that perhaps Chantal Sutherland could add some zing! to the sport, here all of you are at Team Z masterfully managing Zenny’s fans with the same kindness and enthusiasm you brought to all of us throughout her racing career. I think that all of you Team Z in CA and Team Z at LE should receive some kind of award for all that you have done for the reputation of the sport. I know that you aren’t seeking this kind of public acknowledgement but you should be recognized for your leadership & creativity.
Thank you a million times over.
Louise Castello
As usual Abigail, well said! You express your thoughts so wonderfully! Thank you!
Maryp (New York)
Abigail, well said and so true.
Wendy Treadaway

Thanks to Jerry and Ann, and Lanes End for all the time you devote to sharing them with us. It means more than I have words to say. God Bless the entire Zenyatta Team, You Guys are INCREDIBLE – and I hope the rest of the racing world – really starts to act more like you guys!!!! You are the PRIME EXAMPLE for all other teams to follow now. Hugs and God Bless You All!!!!!!!!

Wow, a million times over. Thank you so much for sharing these – especially on a Monday!!! First thing too. Smiles and tears went around the world. He is getting so big. Amazing. And the video of the little fillies. Too sweet.
Let us hope and pray they all go on to have wonderful lives and careers. Thank you Lane’s End, the Moss’s ….. all those who keep us in the Zenyatta loop.
What a treat. You are the best.

A million thanks to LE and Ann and Jerry for providing us with more stunning pictures and a video of the fillies. Are we spoiled? Yes, but I hope it never stops.

Liz Carlin
Thanks so much for sharing these lovely photos! Love to the Queen and Zendini, I hope that ends up being his name. Zenyatta looks lovely and healthy and happy. I loved seeing the little girls coming up to say “hi” to everyone, that was so adorable! Keep sharing the photos, and I hope that 12Z has his own blog soon!
nancy in nj
i don’t understand why, after all this time, big z still makes me smile through tears! what is up with that? just to see her with 12z, and both looking so fit and happy, is very touching to me. of course, the wonderful photos of mr. and mrs. moss beaming at their “kids” cannot be beat! thank you so much, team z, for your generosity in continuing to keep us in touch!
Louise Castello
These pictures are just beautiful!! I need to get a grip on myself because the first stunning one of Zenyatta just made me weep! She is magnificent! Then I wept through all of them. My daughter said there is definitely something wrong with me! Thank you Team Z and Lane’s End! Great way to start the week!
Sandy (Northeast Ohio)
Then there is something “wrong” with me too, Louise :-)
Kathy R.
And me!
Jan S. / Houston
Me too..
Max
Louise. You have a lot of company. A person either is touched by the mystery that is Z or is not, because there is no middle ground. We are the lucky ones to have seen her for what she is. A tear shed for that kind of beauty is a gift.
DMCQ_AL
Max, I have to agree. Some of us recognize the great gift we were given and that does not go away. It just grows and grows, and some burnish that love and recognition with tears. Thank you Team Z and LE Team Z and the Mr. and Mrs. Moss for sharing our beautiful dancer, now mother with us. We are so blessed.
Max
DMCQ. I will always remember how I felt when I saw Z run for the first time, a great exhilarating feeling which does not go away. I do not get the same sensation from watching any other horse. She is just amazing.
judy berube from Rhode Island
Dear Louise:
Z has the same affect on me and all of the Z’sters, I think. Hugs, JB
Brigid
Thank you for your generosity in sharing this wonderful horse and her place in your lives. Makes MY life better, for sure.
Randy
What a wonderful surprise on a Monday! These pictures are just breathtaking, every one of them. Z12 is filling out into a big strapping colt… absolutely gorgeous… looks so much like his mother. Zenny is looking great herself and she obviously loves it when her “parents” come to visit. And the little fillies are absolutely adorable. Don’t you just love the curiousity of horses?
I wish the young ones well in the lives they’ll go on to lead after Lane’s End. At least we know they’ve all been given the very best start possible.
Many thanks to the Mosses, Team Z and Lane’s End for these glimpses into Zenny’s world. It’s appreciated more than you will probably ever realize.
carol in utah

Hi Carol:
I left you another post , (Last page of previous post) I had a couple of questions???? Don’t know if you read it about mom’s rejecting or just not into motherhood.? I don’t know what happened at LE that they would be criticized as another person posted? What a tricky business this is!
Thanks for your help1
