Newest member of Misty's family born on Chincoteague

The newest member of Misty of Chincoteague's family, Smoke'n Mist, was born last week and is now at the Chincoteague Pony Centre with his mother.

The black and white pinto colt is the son of Misty's Desert Sun, a direct descendent of Misty.

The sire is Tuffer than Leather, a Chincoteague stallion whose roots originate with the wild ponies on Assateague Island.

The foal was born on May 24, early in the morning, with no complications.

Smoke'n Mist is one of several Misty descendants that grace the paddocks at the Chincoteague Pony Centre, which has the largest herd of Misty family ponies in the world.
