Zenyatta in Foal - From the Horse's Mouth!

Here at Horsezone we love Blogs and one of the best is the Diary on Zenyatta.com written by the famous horse herself!

The legendary Horse of the Year regularly keeps her fans up to date with her diary and today's was extra special! Zenyatta is in foal at the 60 day mark to Bernadini.  She was declared in foal to Bernadini earlier in the year but when checked at 35 days was found to not be in foal.  She was bred again and this time things are looking more positive.

This is the text from the Diary that revealed the exciting news and Zenyatta's thoughts on the whole thing...

"This morning, my vets came to check me and… YES, I am eating for TWO! As of this morning, I have had what is technically called my ’60 day check-up’. I am happily IN FOAL! All is A-OK! My pregnancy is progressing nicely and the baby has a very strong heartbeat! YIPPEE!

I must say I am so excited and so are all of my Team and Family members! This is such terrific news! Bernie and I are going to be parents!

As is the Moss’ policy, we are not going be fetal-sexing to determine if the foal is a colt or filly. My owners never do this with any of their mares. Part of the fun, in their opinion, is the anticipation. We will wait and BE SURPRISED!

Now, I’m off to graze and enjoy the rest of the day! I’ll fill you in on more details as we go along! Thank you so much for all of your understanding and patience the last few months on this topic! I so appreciate your kindness and support!"

We also love all the huge number of comments well-wishers have left for the mum to be and her baby - people really adore this horse! Be sure to check it out! Follow link below.
