As a surprise birthday gift for me, my wife booked us to tour Lanes End Farm in Versailles, Ky. so I could Zenyatta. She was still roughly 3 months away from having this young lad when I was there. But what a physical specimen this mare is to see up close and personal. As big or bigger than most colts and geldings. The tour manager at Lanes End that day told me she dwarfs most of their stallions. LOL. Looked like she could've saddled up that very day and gone out and won the Hollywood Gold Cup!!

This is special because so many horses, after they've served a purpose, are not appreciated- I love this story.

This video just makes me smile ear to ear. What a great Mom she is already. She is very nurturing. As you all have said, she had the very best trainer taking care of her, as well as Dottie and Jerry and Ann Moss, a great manager and owners. She could not have had a better "family." They love her very much and it shows.

when Baby Z walked under Zen in the pasture i think i about died from the cuteness. Zen is such a patient, and phenomenal mother. I'm already looking forward to her 2013 Tapit foal. And much thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Moss for allowing Zen's fans to follow Zen through her career as a spectacular racehorse to her transition to a wonderful broodmare.

A stunning horse ..mothering as is her quality..thanks...

Zenyatta is an extraordinarily great mother to her foals. Everyone who has witnessed her mothering them from the moment of their births right up until her babies are weaned says Zenny is a great, loving mom.

Agree. Gorgeous.

I THINK THE MOSS'S ARE THE MOST AMAZING LOVING OWNERS ANY RACEHORSE COULD EVER HAVE .YOU CAN TRULY TELL THEY LOVE ZENYATTA DEARLY.

Aw, baby has no clue how impressive his pedigree is. But he knows how special his mama is:))

There is something so majestic and tranquil about a Horse. My favourite creature!!

in my own mind I'm Zenyattas biggest fan but I know she has legions of awesome fans! But when I see her she just brings tears of happiness and hope. I love her! Thanks for posting this and do keep us fans of the Big "Z" updated!

I'm looking forward too seeing Zenyatta's offspring run but let's get real they will never be as good as her she's one in a zillion I just hope they can accomplish even half of what she did on the track what I love most is she's a great mom she's as good on the track as well as off

He's adorable and she does really seem to be a good mom! Thanks for posting this video!

She is the greatest ever! Thank you to the Mosses and John Sheriffs

I have adored Queen Z from day one, but it was the love you Ann and Jerry and John and Dottie, and all the crew at barn 55, and basically everyone that you had take care of her that helped her too. This horse brought me out of my depression over losing my Mother, and I educated everyone around me about her, and guess what?, They are simply ecstatic over her now. I just loved the fact that I saw her being raised with love, and not the amount of money she could make, Great job all, Love, Michele.

aww what a wonderful mommy! I adore her!

Fantastic Video Thank you for Sharing Good Luck

what dear creatures thoroughbreds are!

she looks like a good mummy

Thanks so much for this video. I love him and what a fantastic mom she is. I also have the couple. I feel as emotional as she does and I'm just watching the video.

this horse jus rlli makes me emotional. i would love to see more vids with the two darlings outside

Just beautiful horse and great owners!!

Zenyatta is such a good mom.:) Beautiful foal becoming so grown up this year.:)

I love u, Zenyatta

1:23 I agree! Saw a pic of him since he has been weaned but he does!

2:06 "...and she lets us know she appreciates it." look at Zenny in the back. She showing us alright X3

You rock Zenyatta!!!

OMG Zenyatta's baby is gorgeous. So is Zenyatta. Just got interested in Horse Racing a little over a year ago. I go to Santa Anita and Hollywood Park now . Saw the statue of Zenyatta today March 2, 2013 too. I only go once a month but its fun. I have the DVD on Zenyatta too...Wonderful horse.:) Thanks for the video..

I just had a cuteness overload.

So sweet❤️just like her mama 🌹🌹

He's everything I dreamed he would be..love ya Zenny!!

woo hoooo !! man this is a great vid Zenyatta was the greatest i ever got to see perod

Cozmic One! I'm looking forward to seeing how he does. I know a lot of foals are born every year and most don't make the cut. I hope he's one that does!! And her Tapit colt, 13Z (still unnamed) is a gorgeous specimen!! Can't wait to hear what they name him and to see how he does. She's in foal now to War Front and is due in a few months, I think. I sort of hope it's a filly and that everything goes as well for them both as it has for the first two. ♥

How sweet...Lovely 👏👏👏

She is so magnificent. I mean the dancing queen.

Awww! Lovin.

Congratulations Zenyatta!! We sure do miss you!!

He's soo adorable! I hope he is as good as her in racing!

As good as her in racing??? Only a couple ever are as good as her in racing. That's like saying you hope Michael Jordan's son is as good as him at b-ball. Crazy thinking

Aww, he's so cute!

lol it took me a minute to get used to the pudgy happy zenyatta, since I was used to seeing her sleek and in top physical shape. lol I forgot she's retired.

nice people to care for a nice horse and her baby, gd to see that side of a race horse, that has instincts just like we do. good karma to go around to all those involved, both horses and people.

I wanna give him a hug

i just can't wait to see him grown up and if shes so amazing her foal will be :):):)

thanks for the memories zenyatta

Personally, I would love to have a horse like Zenyatta, I've dreamed about it, but everything is not about money like you said. If I had her and her foals, I would of wanted to keep all of em c: And sell a few, But I would make sure they are great homes for the foal of the Great Zenyatta.

I love bebe foals. Zenyatta,.

I know her foal are worth ALOT of money,but i hope they dont breed her too much.Its not all about money with her.I feel that she belongs to all of America,not just the Mosses.She has already made millions..And no,im not bad mouthing the Mosses.

I really wish this colt would be named ZENBERSON. Zenyatta has done more for this sport than any other thoroughbred since Secretariat.

So cute!!!

I just can't beleive Zennies a mum she looks so domestic, it's cute she really deserves it!

According to Zenyatta.com three days ago, he's been named Cozmic One.

awwwwww

With Love and Respect horse Zenyatta and her baby Outsider, USA

Gongrats. Zenny on the baby!

MOM is a big horse. glad they are taken care of.

I am watching this video in March 2021, how will zenyatta and her young child be now?

I hope the next foal is a girl and can run as fast as Zenaytta, she truly is a queen in the sport of kings.

I mean love the couple!

Gmfg soooooooooooooooo cute

so cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hermoso

Hey does anyone know Zennyata had another foal on April 1 And it is another colt and it looks like Rachel alexandra

Don't know if anyone has seen this but after watching I just had to spread the word. On the HBO Go app "Real sports: horse breeding" has videos of both 12 & 13Z that I have never seen before. I couldn't find it on u tube but that clip is worth tracking down a friend who has HBO so u can log into the HBO app. It is worth it. :)

So..Tapit, tapped it?..

❤

I believe that she nursed and raised the foal until he or she was weaned. She was reported as being a very good mother. Btw, nurse mares can be mares that just had their foals weaned and are still producing milk. If they continue to be stimulated to produce milk they will. But they can come from taking young foals away which is extremely sad.

Anyone know who this one is out of? I know her most recent is out of Tapit, not like it will matter anway, odds aren't in favor of any of these things being great.

He's a yearling now, does he have a name? Zendini?

Zenyatta you are awesome I love how you win races but now you are reatierd

@mistyraestables don't know if you're joking or not. But yes, I think 99.9% of Zenyattas fans know she had a colt by Tapit about 145 lbs and stood up about 30 min after birth which was about 11:45ish on Zenyattas birthday. :) one think though, to me he looks nothing like Rachael Alexandra. She looks to be a dark bay but Z's baby is chestnut with a blaze in the shape of the letter P. :) hope that helps. :)

que mono el potro.. es como su maama

3 doritos despues >>> tirando de carros

who is the sire of this foal

You're sorely misinformed there, my friend. Happy to let you see the pictures.

This colt is by Bernardini. The next foal is by Tapit. She is in foal again.

Did you fall off a horse recently? He won the Preakness and Jockey Club Gold Cup. The winner of the Belmont Stakes that year was a horse named Jazil. He stands at Shadwell Farm

Most nurse mare's have their foals pulled from them and are either sent to auctions or bottle fed. Cattletsburg KY auction (fortunately closed now) had whole trailer loads of nurse mare foals only a week or two old brought in and run thru their auction last year. It's a nasty business, just 2 months ago there were nurse mare foals listed in the Cincinnati Cragslist only 2 weeks old.

HE OR SHE IS WONDERFUL BERNADINI STUD .?

Bernardini: 2006 Preakness and Travers Stakes winner.

No Zenyatta is taking care of her own foal. Lane's End would only put them on nurse mares if the mother rejects the baby, which is what happened to Zenyatta's pasture mate Tasty Temptation, or if the mare dies. The nurse mare used for Tasty's foal lost her own foal.

Is it true that she's pregnant again??

why did they put a halter on that baby Colt?I think that was really to soon

@dhoney8585

7 жыл бұрын

in some situations it can be too soon but most times it best to get the foal used to the halter at a young age, so they don't have issues later on with tack and whatnot.

@marysueeasteregg

At the large farms, very early introduction of the halter seems to be standard. Maybe (just a guess on my part) because they have so many horses to deal with? Lane's End is currently standing 18 stallions, and the farm has 3000+ acres. Has to be a lot of mares & babies, plus yearlings. There's also the issue that Thoroughbreds (and other racing breeds) enter training earlier than most horses.

Too bad you all zoomed in at 2:05 to 2:07. She was acting exactly how you said she was, but you zoomed in and missed her glee.

I know it can be brutal but if its done right it can be okay for both foals and mares. In some cases though if the nurse mares foal is already weaned by the time a nurse mare is needed for another foal they can give the mare oxytocin. In my opinion this is the most humain. I have heard of some places that are trying to only have their nurse mares foal every 2 years and in between use oxytocin to continue milk production. I hope they succeed.

Who's the lucky man that gave her a foal?

What's the colts name? Id call him Zenny's Boy

If anyone puts a "thumbs down" to this video they must not have a soul =[

My questions is she nursing him or did they pull him and put him on a nurse mare? If so what happened to the nurse mare's foal. A friend just rescued two nurse mare foals from an auction the other day... 3 days old. Disgusting

As someone else has explained: nurse mares are NOT routinely used in non-emergency circumstances in the Thoroughbred industry. (Or by other breeding industries. Other breeds besides TBs utilize nurse mares; 4 or 5 times more quarter Horses are born in the U.S. yearly than Thoroughbreds.) Nurse mares ARE used when a mare dies at birth or before the foal is ready to be weaned, when she rejects her foal, has inadequate milk production, or is seriously ill. The use of nurse mares is rare, but they are invaluable in such cases. Horse of the year Rachel Alexandra was raised by a nurse mare because her dam, Lotta Kim, refused to have anything to do with her. Purely by coincidence/bad luck, Rachel Alexandra's second foal, the good stakes filly Rachel's Valentina, was raised by a nurse mare because Rachel incurred a life-threatening bowel perforation foaling her. Rachel had lovingly raised her first foal, a colt by Curlin, just as Zenyatta has raised all her own foals. I take for granted that a nurse mare was similarly utilized in Ireland when American champion Royal Delta died at Coolmore soon after foaling a Galileo filly in 2017. It is false, as a certain party on the Web claims, that nurse mares are used routinely because the valuable TB broodmares have to be separated from their foals for their next breeding session. If that goes on, it is FAR from the norm, and the breeders are idiots, for reasons I'll explain below. There's simply *no need* for nurse mares to be used because the mare has to be shipped to her next breeding session, as is sometimes claimed. TB mares are concentrated in Kentucky, and within a few hours vanning of most big name stallions. They can be separated from their foals for a few hours for a breeding session. Zenyatta resides at Lane's End Farm, and all her foals have been birthed there, and mothered *by her* on site. (She even remained at the hospital with her mortally ill War Front colt, who died at a few days old from meconium poisoning.) None of the stallions to whom Zenyatta has been bred stand at Lane's End, but they have all been Kentucky-based sires: Bernardini (Darley Stud); War Front (Claiborne Farm); Tapit (Gainesway); Medaglia D'Oro (Stonewall Stallions); and Into Mischief (Spendthrift). In the case of mares who are scheduled to be covered by a stallion out of state or simply too far away for a simple vanning from their homebase, it is standard practice for the broodmare to be shipped far ahead of time to the farm or the immediate area at which their next breeding is scheduled, and their in-utero foal is birthed there. Secretariat was *conceived* in Kentucky in 1969, at Claiborne Farm where Bold Ruler stood stood, but he was bred -- that is *born* -- in 1970 at Meadow Stable in Virginia, because his dam Somethingroyal was being bred to Meadow Stable's stallion First Landing in 1970, the mating which produced her 1971 foal Capital Asset. At some point after the weaning of her 1969 foal The Bride (Secretariat's full sister), the pregnant Somethingroyal was shipped to Virginia, where she awaited the birth of Secretariat, whom she subsequently mothered. What I have described is standard practice for small-time breeders, too. I have friends who raced a small string for about 15 years, including several homebreds out of their sole broodmare. She was bred, at various times, to studs in Maryland, Pennsylvania and Kentucky. She raised all her own foals -- because like Somethingroyal, she was shipped to the appropriate state midway through her pregnancies, wintered there, and remained there at least through the weaning of the foal she was carrying when she was shipped. Using a nurse mare in non-emergency circumstances would be stupid financially. Why on earth would a breeding mare's owner want to pay the rental fee and/or boarding costs for a second mare, if it's not absolutely essential? Horses are expensive to keep. A one-time shipping fee is a lot lower than the cost of boarding a second horse, the nurse mare, for half a year.

He should stay a stud ........ If he's not a maniack stud

wow still my horse would win

I LOVE how at 1:14 "Zendini" (Yup I'm calling him that!) gets out of Zenyatta's sight and she quickly turns around keeping a VERY watchful eye on him. She's a GREAT Mommy! I have no rush to see him in a race the same with Rachel Alexandra's colt. I just want them to grow into a happy and healthy horses! :)

she is a big horse.
