We hope everyone had a joyous holiday season filled with friends and family. As you may have noticed, Team Z took some time off to celebrate and to make plans for the coming year. We’ve been dreaming up blog features, new Zenyatta products, and eagerly anticipating the birth of Zenyatta’s third foal.
In the meantime, Zenyatta and 13Z have been greeting the winners of our Zenyatta.com Celebration drawing with enthusiasm. We’ll share Alys’ photos from these visits in a future blog post.
Before the holidays we asked you to show us how you’re using your Celebration Stickers. A few of our favorite submissions are below. Thanks Susan, Mary Ellen, Pam, and Cathleen for your photos!
We always welcome feedback from the fans. Send photos of your Zenyatta products in use or suggestions for the future to fans@zenyatta.com. We can’t reply to every email, but we do read everything!
We approach the new year with a sense of gratitude for this loving community. We’re excited to see what this year will bring, and we hope you are too!

Thank you Team Z for the new post. Wow, these fans are so lucky to meet our Queen, someday maybe I’ll get that chance too, I’ll never give up!!
It sounds like you have many exciting things planned for the year, I’m sure looking forward to it. And soon we will be busy pacing and speculating on this upcoming WF baby, most of us hoping for a filly, and of course we’ll be waiting for Red’s name, and continued news of CoZ’s exploits. So much to be excited about.
Thanks for all that you guys do!!
Kisses for Mama Zen and baby, Red and our student CoZ. And one for my Indy too.

WELCOME HOME TEAM Z!
I missed your regular updates but was happy to know that everyone was taking a well-deserved break. You might be interested to know that I got STING’s CD “The Last Ship” for Christmas. It is really the soundtrack of STING’s first theatre venture of the same name that will debut in Chicago in 2014. Here’s CBC’s (Canadian Broadcasting Company) interview with STING about his play:
http://www.cbc.ca/news/arts/sting-honours-shipbuilding-roots-with-musical-the-last-ship-1.2356100
The CD is beautiful and I just loved the interview but I was also thinking of Team Z when I put it on my Xmas List — for obvious reasons!
It will be TOO MUCH FUN to see photos of Zenny’s fans with her and hear about new items in the Zenny Boutique!
SUGGESTION: I would like to hear about DOTTIE & JOHN!!! Or, at least, OUR DOTTIE. I’m not alone in missing her, I know!!!
Love, hugs & peppermint kisses to my ZEN family, TEAM Z and ZENNY and her “big boys”!

Dear Abigail,
Love your suggestion to hear about Dottie. I miss her and would love to maybe have her “drop in” to say hello.
Mary
It is so good to see Zenyatta. Look how sweetly she is looking at that little girl. Z has such a human sweetness about her. She has brought so many of us fans so much joy. I love just looking and reading about anything she does. I got my new Zenyatta hat and wear it with pride. Happy New Year to all Team Z!!!
Mary Turner
At Christmas, I saw several horse ornaments for the tree, but none of them dazzled me…..partially b/c they were made of either hard plastic or resin. It occurred to me that a Zenyatta ornament, made of another material might be an idea…especially if you could work in her colors, or one of the queenly things! A material other than plastic or resin would be more pricey, but she’s clearly worth it.
Just a thought…….
Sandy (Northeast Ohio)
Mary – there WAS a Zenyatta ornament (I think it was 2011). Maybe they will bring it back for those who missed it the first time.

Dear Team Z Welcome back and a Happy New Year to you all!So glad Z and her princes are both doing well also that she enjoyed meeting her visitors. We have a great year ahead with new life due in the spring maybe a filly this time but no matter as long as everything goes smoothly knowing the Queen all will be well. God bless Zenyatta and her babies always.Hugs SheenaX
Maryp NY
Happy New Year Team Z! It’s so good to hear from you. You have so many things going on in the business and wonder how you find the time to do all you do for us, here in Zenyatta’s (she looks so beautiful as always) community. You are the best.
Can’t wait to see all the photos of the winner’s visits to the Queen and the red prince. He must be quite a bit bigger since we last saw him.
I’m also looking forward to other items that will be added to the shop. I love the track bag and mug and the stickers.
As always, thank you.

Happy New Year Team Z
So glad you had time to relax. I am looking forward to new products; crossing my fingers for jewelry….something I can wear to work on my lapel…hint, hint.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for the new blog post!!! Blessings to you in 2014, Team Z! We anxiously await the new foal, and we so appreciate all you do to keep us in the loop.

Dear Sheena:
Yes, Z looks great. Just a little while before the pacing begins. Love and Hugs, JB, LM, PC, HT, Cap and all the Sweeties
Perky Green
Happy you are back, I know how time consuming your business is and all post from you are so welcomed. Z looks great, I hope she blesses us with a filly this time, but in any case we will forgive her if she has another colt. We just want to see our Favorite Girl safe and sound. She is such a treasure and we do miss her terribly. Cozmic One will be watched ever so closely and we are all anxiously waiting his presence on the track, he looks as though he is training well, and he is quite large according to his photos and videos. He still has to grow into those EARS of his, but he is getting there. I’am happy to hear all had a wonderful and safe holiday. Much success to all this coming year Lots of Kisses and Hugs for our Z and Baby Z 13 as well.

Happy New Year and thank you Team Z!! You have made my Saturday evening!!
2014 will be an incredible year with Zenyatta’s Coz and his future, 13z growing and the most exciting news of Z’s 3rd birth. Will the foal be a filly? hmmm. Zenyatta is just everything to me. Looking forward to all you are planning for us Z fans.

So glad everything is okay with all of you,
Zenny looks so pretty, like always.
Hugs Ingrid.

Thanks for all your hard work keeping us insatiable fans in pictures and mementos of our favorite Zenny. I second, or triple, the suggestion for the store of T-shirts and sweatshirts. Love the sticker picture; it would go well on a shirt. Also suggest a Zenyatta and family calendar with pictures from her racing career and pictures of the foals and their growing up. This could be a big seller in the holiday period at year’s end.
I hate to bug you, but could we get some new pictures of 13Z? He must be getting ever bigger. We also need some more pictures, esp. more recent ones, of Coz. I know we are insatiable.
Thank you so much for this posting and wishing you all a wonderful 2014.
