Courtney's Island Dove is one of the 1/4 Arabian mares in the current herd. Her dam was the chestnut tobiano half Arabian Courtney's Boy and her dam was the black tobiano Salt and Pepper. She hasn't had any foals kept for the herd.

She's a chestnut and 7 of her foals have been chestnut too. She's had two bays and a buckskin, but those were also the color of the sires so there's not a way to tell if she carries agouti or how many copies.

Courtney's Island Dove is a very flashy tobiano pinto. She's had several non pinto foals so that tells us that she only has one copy of tobiano.

She has some roaning to her coat. That's tobiano roaning and it's thought to be something that tobiano does sometimes, rather than a separate inheritance.

Her solid bay daughter with Ajax, Assateague's Spirited Lady, has been color tested and she has the white patterns White 34, White 35, Eden White 2, and Eden White 3. It's highly likely that some of those were inherited from Courtney's Island Dove. The amount of white she has plus the jagged look to her pinto markings are an indication that she has something other than tobiano.

Voodoo was the most famous stallion of the 1960's and early 1970's. He appears in numerous publications and postcards. He can even be spotted in a couple scenes in the Misty movie. For many years he had the largest herd on Assateague. Dr. Ronald Keiper found his body in spring 1977. The first photo by National Geographic is the most famous of him. The second was taken by Ronald Keiper.

Voodoo was a black and may have carried recessive chestnut. The one identified mare thought to be his daughter was a chestnut. He had many foals and likely has plenty of descendants in the current herd, but we can't trace them at this time.

He was a very flashy pinto as his photos show. Voodoo was a tobiano and definitely had another pinto pattern. That big wide blaze, the large amount of white he had, and complicated look to his pinto pattern all speak to him having something other than tobiano.

At 22 years old Pappy's Pony is one of the senior mares of the current Assateague herd. Her sire was the brown tobiano Witch Doctor and her dam was the flaxen chestnut Island Star. Her old identification number was B18 and her first several foals were sold at the auction under that number. Two of her foals have been kept for the herd, the short lived Kelly's Raven Moon and current herd member Barbara's Tasi.

Pappy is a solid bay which means she has black and agouti. Agouti tells her black to stay on her points. She has had 4 black foals over the years which tells us she only has one copy of agouti. If she had two she couldn't have had any black foals.

Her dam was a chestnut so Pappy carries recessive chestnut. If that wasn't known her 6 chestnut foals would have told us that. In order to get a chestnut foal both parents must be or carry chestnut.

Pappy doesn't have any white markings so she visually doesn't show any signs of having a white pattern. One of her daughters with Surfer's Riptide has White 20 and is the only Chincoteague tested to have it thus far. W20 can sometimes be found on solid horses so perhaps it came from Pappy!

Gremlin is a matriarch of the current herd. She was born in 1979 and died in 2000. Her sire was the bay pinto half Arabian Gordo and her dam was an unnamed dark chestnut who currently has the nickname of Gremlin's Mom. Gremlin's 1992 foal was Surfer Dude and he was his mother's son when it came to color.

She was a chestnut and would have tested as e/e. Gremlin was in the herd of the solid chestnut Simon for about 10 years so all of their foals were guaranteed to be chestnut. There's not enough info to guess her agouti status since only one of her known foals wasn't a chestnut. Surfer Dude's sire Broken Jaw was a bay, but he and their other two foals were also chestnut. Her last foal, born in 1999, was black.

Gremlin is the source of splashed white 1 in the Surfer Dude/Riptide family. There's obviously no color tests for these ponies but we can figure some things out using observation. Her expression of splashed white was a stripe and two socks, but she had several flashy foals with solid colored stallions. Splashed white came from her sire Gordo. He had other descendants who also seemed to have it. Multiple descendants of Gremlin have tested to have splashed white 1.

Two other things that make her descendants well known also appear to have come from Gremlin. The dark sooty chestnut she inherited from her dam was also passed down to her stallion son. She wasn't as dramatic of a blonde as her son and his son, but she was flaxen too. Neither sooty or flaxen is testable but we can see how it's genetic in this family.
