Zenyatta will not be bred this year. She continues to do well and is looking great with her new paddock buddy—even sharing her cookies. We’ll post more photos of them soon!
We appreciate all of the love and support her fans have shown. While we understand the concern the public has for Zenyatta’s well-being, we ask that you do not contact Lane’s End Farm to inquire about Zenyatta or her foals. We do our best to be generous with information and to share Zenyatta’s life with her fans through this website. Zenyatta.com will continue to be the source of official updates on all things Zenyatta.

Dear Sheena:
Guess Telyn’s not ready to go just yet.
Will be very surprised if the girls ever find info on Seven’s years after 2014 until they found him in the kill pen. Records should be mandatory each time a horse changes hands; whether they are racing or retired. Goodnight. Love and Hugs, JB, LM and all the Sweeties
Judy Berube
Dear Z, COZ, ZI, BBG and DC:
Hope all of you are well and enjoying life. Goodnight and Happy Dreams.
Love You. Hugs, JB

Judy,
I agree about keeping records on the horses. Someone somewhere knows the story on 7. They are just worried now about us finding them. So glad he is doing better and has landed in a safe place.
Great field for the Travers. I like the filly but as you know I Believe In Magic! Just hope all of them have a safe trip.
Judy Berube
Dear Shirlee:
I’m all for girl power too, but I think your Magic will make his prescence known. Should be an exciting race.
You are so right; someone knows how Seven ended up dumped in a kill pen. He was one of the lucky ones. Love and Hugs, JB

An old favourite Smad Place enjoying his retirement.
Roaring Lion has just won the Juddmonte International.A very tactical race Papa Christophe boxed Poet’s Word in and Roaring Lion was on the outside.John Gosden has worked wonders with this son of Kitten’s Joy and Thundering Blue came in 3rd at 50-1.They paid £50,000 to supplement him.Congratulations to Roaring Lion and all his connections and he’s a grey!

Dear Sheena:
Glad Smad is enjoying his retirement. Congrats to Roaring Lion. Goodnight. Love and Hugs, JB, LM and all the Sweeties

Dear Sheena:
Thanks for sharing this latest article on COZ. My gosh he really is taking to his training like a pro. He’s soooo beautiful too. Love and Hugs, JB

I too am wondering what has happened to Zenyatta’s website. No news or photos of Zenny or Z17. Thursday it will be 3 months since their last post. Please Ann or Jerry, someone from Lanes End give us an update. We love her and her offspring so very much. We appreciate your sharing her with us all these years and we are all still interested in all things Zenyatta.
I am so thankful to the De Sousa family for keeping us informed on Coz. He looks wonderful!
Blessings to all.

Dear Z, COZ, ZI, BBG and DC:

Congratulations to Northern based trainer Mark Johnston on his great achievement and we got a flying Frankie dismount.
A great win in the Yorkshire Oaks for Sea of Class She just flew past the rest of the field.It was lovely to see James Doyle’s reaction to the win.The William Haggas trained filly is a daughter of STS and may even run in the Arc the race her father won in 2009 and her paternal grandmother Urban Sea in 1993.She is one super filly.

Dear Sheena:
Just read that Princess Charlotte loves horses and has been taking riding lessons. So like her Great Grandmother. Too cute! Seems like George is enjoying riding too. He’ll probably play Polo like his Dad and Uncle Harry. Love and Hugs, JB

The poor boy is being denied treats.
If all horses are sound and well in october the Arc de Triomphe this year should be mouthwatering.Sea of Class is already favourite with some and she is’nt even entered yet!
sheena.davies(wales)
Dear Judy.Yes, Zara has been helping Prince George on his pony and Princess Charlotte loves riding.Fans are sending 7 gifts now as well.Kate just is’nt interested in riding but encourages the children.Goodnight God bless you LM PC HT and all the sweeties.Love and hugs SheenaXGlad your computer has been repaired.

Hovis’s mane-ifesto!Safe trips to all at York today.Come on Stradivarius and Battaash.Good luck to Mendelssohn tomorrow.
Marshall (NC Broad)
Thanks as always for our visit with the matchless Hovis, Sheena!
Gee, our macho equine friend has really been busy with this “mane-ifesto”! An impressive amount of thought and expression went into this – Wow, Hovis is quite an erudite guy.
Watch out all you humans — you know who you are! ?

Stradivarius is a millionaire.Not really at his best after a long season he showed his class and guts to win the Lonsdale Cup and the million pound stayers bonus.Now Battaash has arrived in his cool gold shoes.Congratulations to Stradivarius and all connections plus we got the flying dismount!
Ann NC
❤️? congrats!!
Judy Berube
Congrats Stradi; well done! Love and Hugs, JB

Dear Sheena, Ann and Judy,
I am joining your chorus of “Congratulations to Stradivarius and connections”! Best of luck to Battaash, also.
Hugs and Love
Marshall (NC Broad)
Oops! I was too late with Battaash’s wishes.
Sorry Battaash — better luck next time.
Congrats to the winners, Alpha Delphini and all connections!

A trilling finish to the Nunthorpe as Alpha Delphini wins by a whisker from Mab’s Cross.It took several minutes to separate them.Winning Jockey Graham Lee was aboardAmberleigh House when he won the GN in 2004.Battaash failed to fire again at York.Congratulations to Alpha Delphini and all connections.

Thrilling!!

I have also been very worried about the blog site. No info for such a long period is disturbing. Enduring love for Zenyatta and her offspring will always be with us. Not a day goes by that I don’t think about her and all the happy times we’ve all shared.
Rachel
I agree with you, Vicki. I keep looking, but no news.

Hope Ann Maree settles in well at her new home and is content.
Wish for news about Zenyatta, her princess and Ziconic but so happy with the way the De Sousas have kept us in the know about Coz.
Glad George and Charlotte like horses and riding. I know this makes the queen proud.
Safe trip to all the horses this weekend. Should be an exciting race when Abel Tasmond (spelling?) and Elate go against each other. Just hope both of these mares run to their abilities and come home safely.
Our Kentucky lion really roared. Go Kittens!
Judy Berube
Dear Shirlee:
Love Kittens! They rule the turf!
Wondering if Wow Cat and Uncle Johnny might be in the mix. She’s trained by Chad Brown. Love and Hugs, JB

7 enjoying the sun today.It seems he loves music!
shirleeinindy
The de Sousas have posted new pic and video of Coz. He won some ribbons!
I guess when they titled this Taking Time Off they meant everyone connected with the Blog. Think it will be up to us to keep it going until they can give us some news. There is not much to report on Zenyatta and her little filly but perhaps we will have word of Ziconic soon. And, those of us who love the horses and the sport of racing can continue to post about the ones we love and are watching.
Go Magic, run for great-great granddad, my beloved Alydar.

This is Coz getting a 2nd place.So lovely to get news from the De Sousas since the blog has gone quiet.
All are still on the Dyfi and Alys is certainly showing who is boss she pushed sister Helyg off the nest!
Judy Berube
Dear COZ:
Congrats beautiful boy. Well done! Love and Hugs, JB
Marshall (NC Broad)
Dear Sheena,
Thanks for posting this. Coz is doing just beautifully; he and Isabela are a great team! I could watch show jumping all day — in fact I have! Watching Coz and Isabela negotiating the jump patterns reminds me of many horse shows when I cheered on my friends’ two daughters who competed for 8-10 years — I miss that. Both are adults now; ah, “tempis fugit”!
Well done, Cozmic One❣️
Hugs and Love
Marshall (NC Broad)
Oops! That should be “tempus fugit”.
Sorry about the misspelling.
Hope all races are safe and best of luck to all running and riding on Travers Day at Saratoga. Safe racing everywhere!
Hugs and Cheers
Judy Berube
Dear Sheena:
So happy for COZ and Isabella. Thanks for posting the link. Goodnight. Love and hugs, JB, LM and all the Sweeties

Dear Z Fans:
Mikey and Bob Baffert win the 7th and 8th races at Saratoga. The Personal Ensign with Abel Tasman and The Ballerina with Marley’s Freedom. Mikey and Abel survived an inquiry by Elate and Jose Ortiz. Nice run by Elate and Jose too. Tough one to lose. Congrats. Love and Hugs, JB
