Happy Monday!
We’re happy to share a few new photos of Coz in training. The folks at Mayberry Farm call him handsome, personable, and lovely to be around! He’s pictured here with his rider Ronaldo, who has been at Mayberry Farm since Zenyatta’s training. His kitty friend, Daisy, is shown perched at her regular spot above Coz’s stall.
When we recently asked for feedback and suggestions concerning the Zenyatta Shop, we received such a wonderful response. Thank you! It’s going to be a fun year with new product releases down the line.
Last but not least, at the bottom of this post you’ll find a special note from Ann Moss. She wanted to share a very sweet moment with all of you. Enjoy!
The last time I had seen Coz he was running around in his own paddock showing off for us and his buddies in the paddocks next to him. A very happy young man. This is the first time I had seen him since he started on his new life with Jeannie Mayberry, getting ready for what he was born to do… race. His racing career had begun. Jeannie had given him the same as his Mother: the last stall where he has perfect view of the whole barn and even the training track. Made me weep with joy (which I’ve been known to do smile) to see him standing there as he let me kiss his sweet nose, this big boy already grand and majestic receiving his saddle and his rider and proudly doing his lessons.
Later in the day standing in a gentle mist visiting with Zenny, I suddenly felt inclined to show her the video I had just taken earlier of her boy and knew how proud she would be of him, of how well he was doing with all his lessons and how Jeannie had said he was so smart and kind and how wonderfully he moves… She suddenly started her dance and tossing her head and turning her head to look at my iPhone! She totally knew she was watching her son Cozmic One and she was very proud. She especially liked the video of him getting his bath and she literally licked my phone! Reminding me yet again how I have to pick up my conversation with her. That she totally gets and understands All. Of course she and I have had many chats on the phone over the years and he’s always been around nosing in on our conversations, so it totally makes sense but still stunned me as well. So I wanted to share these constantly amazing Beings with YouS :) and say again Thanks! for all the Good Thoughts Well Being and Love YouS send to Them =)

Loved the pictures of our boy as he is training. He looks so much like his mother and to think he has more to grow.
And what a nice note from Ann, It shows how much she loves her horses and how close she is to Zenny and her babies. Thank you so much, Ann for making us feel like part of the family …… janie

p.s. BTW Zenny looking at the cell phone reminds me of the time I took my Z posters to Barn 55 in 2010. I have photos to PROVE she looked at them!!! Smart, smart girl!!! :-)

Thank you, Ann, for sharing your thoughts and photos. How truly fortunate you are to have such amazing horses in your life. Love to see the updates on Coz’s progress.

Thank You for pictures of Coz. He is really growing again and filling out. It was neat to see him being worked.
Queen “Z” likes to watch your videos of Coz, doing her dance and head shaking, Amazing!! Licking your iPhone was too cute!
Glad to see all is well with both Coz and “Z”
Now we can’t wait to see Z14.
We need pictures of Z13 now, please? :)
Tara
Glad to hear Coz is doing so well! He has gotten so big and you can tell he still has so much growing to do yet. It brought tears to my eyes reading how Zenyatta reacted to watching the videos. Just goes to show how special she really is!
Lisa Myers
Zenyatta is the most intelligent horse that I’ve ever seen. One thing that nearly bowled me over when I was meeting her was the fact that she looks you straight in the eye and she knew exactly what she was doing and communicating to us. I’ve not seen confidence in a horse like that before! And her boy, Coz, is turning into such a fantastic looking colt!! He has that look about him, too! Thanks for the update!!
Cynthia H.
I weep, too, for the magic of the memories, the overwhelming joy of the present, and the heartfelt hopes of a brilliant and happy future for Zenyatta’s first-born. God bless our great and glorious Queen, and all who love and care for her. This post is truly a treasure. Thank you, Ann, for proving to us once again that the Zen moments continue, and the dance goes on. ♥

Awww, now I got all teary-eyed reading Ann’s note to us! Thanks, as always, for any and all updates on all things Zenyatta. Love seeing the photos and seeing her kids “growing up”. Can’t wait to see what is in store for the upcoming Zenyatta swag!
ronni
WOW….he’s, so, so grown up and reminds me so much of his momma…
Lovely note from Ann. Very kind of her to share such a personal moment with Zenny.

YIPPPPPP-EEEEEEEE! Thank you so much for this update of Coz! Photos fabulous! Thanks to the Mayberrys for allowing us to peek inside their operation. I get goosebumps thinking about possibly seeing Coz running later this year, or whenever he is deemed ready. Hugs to all!!! Big smooch for Coz!!
Ann Maree / Tennessee
I must say, I had tears reading Ann’s post. This whole experience is overwhelming at times…just hard to express how touching it is to be so closely associated with Zenny and her new life. I don’t doubt Ann at all that Zenny understands so much, and that she has imparted her spirit and kindness to her offspring. Thanks, Ann, for sharing your intimate personal experiences with Zenny and Coz, and of course, Blaze! As you have said so often, what a gift Zenny is and continues to be. Hugs to all.

oh dear dear Ann, your story has me crying tears of joy. that is so incredible. oh yes, please do talk with Zenny about all her children and how they are doing. This is so amazing to see she gets it! what a proud mama she must be and I bet she’ll get even better with teaching them about being a great racer.

Happy tears today! How handsome Coz is and I’m not surprised that Zenny knew exactly what Ann was showing her on the phone. Such a high note to start the week.

Dear Team Z –
So wonderful to see Cosmic One progressing SO nicely!!!! Cannot wait for his maiden :)
And Zenny – so nice to read your note Ann!! They truly are amazing Beings, but Zenny puts a entirely new meaning to Special!
We look forward to your next update – hopefully soon.
Love and hugs, George, Linda, and Milyone

Thanks to everyone, especially Ann, who had a hand in sharing this post with us. Coz looks just fabulous.
Continued luck to all! Can’t wait to see the further adventures of Coz and lil’Red (13Z) and the new baby coming to Zenny.
Deborah Richman
Ann, we are truly blessed that you share these magnificent Beings with us. Thank you so much!!! Joy! Joy! Joy!
Sandy (Northeast Ohio)
Oh Zenny!!
Here I am reduced, yet again, to a blubbering idiot. Of COURSE you knew your boy, and how great that your Mom Ann was able to show you the video and share the story with all of us. He really is magnificent, and what a fan base he has before he ever steps foot into a race. No matter how well he does, we will always be cheering him on. MANY thanks to the Mayberry folks for providing these wonderful pictures, and to Team Z for a new post.
Your “little Red” is really something too, and we’re always looking for more pictures of him. Hope you’re feeling well as Z14 continues to grow and not having any trouble getting around. Please be careful if you’re out in the snow – I know that you’ve had a lot of it this winter.
Love from your Ohio friend, Sandy

Thank you so very much for this update and especially for the lovely account by Ann of her visits to Cozmic One and Zenyatta. We have long said you can have a conversation with Zenyatta — she is truly otherworldly. And oh how we miss having those conversations with her.

Great way to start a new month & the week!
Love the photos and the updates.
Thank you all for sharing with us!

So happy to get news of Coz and such wonderful pics of him. What a gorgeous guy he is and reminds me so much of his mother that tears come to my eyes. He looks like a beautiful bundle of speed to me!
And how special to get a message from Ann. Of course, Zenyatta understands all! She’s not just an amazing race horse, she’s a spirit that goes far beyond equine or human. That’s why we love her so.
Thanks to all of you for the news and photos and allowing the fans to be a part of Zenyatta’s (and boys) life.
Love and blessings to all,
Stel

Thank you Ann for letting so many racing fans who miss seeing Zenyatta get to see her progeny in training. I’m sure his first race is far down the road considering how much growing he has to do. But the anticipation is so very exciting. As time goes by it is a wonderful thing to know Zenyatta’s legacy will always live on. She is such a great champion!!
Sally Wade
Always makes my day when I look at Facebook and find Zenny updates!!!! Thank you Ann for sharing :-)

Standing there he is clearly momma’s boy! Hooves crossed he runs like her, too!
