Happy Friday!
As you all know, Zenyatta delivered her first filly on Easter Sunday. She was born at 12:03 am, weighing in at 151 lbs! Zenyatta’s lifetime friend and current paddock mate, Life Is Sweet, delivered an adorable colt not an hour before, just as across the aisle from Zenyatta.
Earlier this month we held a contest asking fans to guess 14Z’s birthday, and we received over 2,500 entries. As usual, we couldn’t pick just one winner! Serena Riecken of Ashland, Nebraska is the official winner, guessing April 19 at 11:53 pm. Don Krueger entered April 20 at 12:04 am. He went over by just one minute, so we think he’s a winner too.
Serena and Don will each receive an 11″ x 14″ print of the above photo signed by the photographer and Zenyatta’s owners, Jerry and Ann Moss. If you would like to order a print of this image for yourself, it is now available here at the Zenyatta Shop.
In the coming days we will share more images from the night of the foaling, our trip, and Zenyatta with her darling filly. For now, we’ll leave you with just a few new photos.
Enjoy!

Luckily her momma is a big’un! My filly was 150 lbs but lost her mother in delivery.
This little princess is so gorgeous and has her mom’s marking exactly. I just love that Zenny has a dark bay, a chestnut and now a bay… now she just needs a gray to round out the colour spectrum :)

Lynda, now I remember how you wrote about having watched your mare give birth to a colt (you later named him Special Gift) at 1am under the “strawberry moon” on a June night. You had set your alarm to wake you every hour through the night so you could check on her, and before the 1am alarm went off, you suddenly woke and jumped out of bed to go look, and your Chloe had indeed just started to deliver her Special Gift. So sweet, so like Z. Love and hugZ, Trina

What a gorgeous filly. I love that Zenyatta is so comfortable with motherhood, that she is being led out of the barn on just a cotton lead.
Can’t wait to see photos of Life Is Sweet too!
Marlaine Meeker
She is just too too much. Look at that rump! And I forget what a big girl Momma is. So happy everything went well and you continue to share your blessings with us. Thank you.

She’s a cutie pie for sure….let the naming games begin! That blaze of hers…Lady Z definitely stamps her babies with a frontal “Z” mark, doesn’t she? Doesn’t matter who the daddy is…they’re all marked with the most unusual blazes…
What should a War Front-Zenyatta baby girl be named? I’m going to start working on some ideas, just in case the Mosses need some help :)
Joanna_TX
She’s a doll! Yup, did get some of mom’s great rear engine (like bro Zi). Thanks Team Z for all the new pix; waiting for the others!
