Zellda

It’s a Colt!

Dear Friends,

I’m so excited and could not wait to share the news with you! MY DEAR ZELLDA had a beautiful colt by JUSTIFY on April 19th at 6:10 pm. Per Todd, “he is chestnut in color, leggy and weighed in at 107 pounds.”

I’m delighted to let you know both Mom and Foal are doing very well. From all reports, Zellda is an excellent Mother!

I must say, I adore watching newborn foals running and playing outside with their Moms! They are TOO CUTE as they learn to romp about, stretch their bodies and discover the ‘exciting’ places their legs can take them. After a few hours of playtime, it seems like a light bulb goes on and they suddenly realize how ‘quickly’ they can travel to all parts of the paddock. Oh Zellda, have fun! Looks like he loves to run and play!

    Perfect. I was hoping we’d all get updates on Zellda.
    Is she at the same farm as Zenyatta?

    How is Zellda’s yearling colt by twirling Candy doing? This little Justify boy is perfect! Love that Zellda enjoys her job and broodmare and that she has inherited Zenyatta’s nurturing behavior.

    Dear Z, Zellda and Family,
    Congrats on the new member of the tribe!! Zellda looks great(like Mama Z), and the Justify colt (24 Zellda?) is just beautiful, and spunky, too.
    Thanks to Alys for the video, and thanks for the lovely photos from Mathea and Todd. So exciting!! Love the view with mamas and babies in the pasture — so serene. Ahhhh, it calms the soul in this chaotic world.
    Best wishes to them for long, happy and healthy lives!
    Hugs and Love 💕

    Congratulations Zelda, your baby boy is beautiful. Zenyatta you are a Grandmother. I have a feeling you are going to spoil that little boy. Thank you Lanes End for the update, and for the wonderful care you give all your fur babies.

    What a grand looking colt. Congrats to Zelda and granny Zenyatta. With Justify and Zenny, this guy should run like the wind and run forever.
    Good health to him and Zelda.

    Always look behind the stick that stirs. You will not find the promoter, the wild card, the puff of wind, but you will find the mother who was the guiding light.
    This mother is not a figurehead and not someone who exploits her children to be years older than their emotional makeup. She does not threaten nor does she have to consider it. Her children respect her standards and make them their own.
    She is not always a beautiful woman-but a lovely one whose life is not a fad or a trendy excursion, but a journey that is memorable to many.

    The ground on which we stand is sacred ground. It is the dust and blood of our ancestors.
