Historical Pony: Cherokee Princess

Cherokee Princess was born in 1988 in Maryland. Her sire is unknown and her dam is the unnamed N4B. Her Keiper number is N4BM and she was known as Cutthroat in Maryland. She got that name from the strip of white under her neck. There's a picture of her in the book Into the Wind Wild Horses of North America by Jay Kirkpatrick and Michael H. Francis. She was transferred to Virginia in 1994 along with her 1991 colt and 1992 filly Ponella. They were part of a group of problem horses that had gotten too used to people. Her colt was sold at the 1994 and her daughter Ponella probably remained as part of the Virginia herd but we're unable to trace her at this time. Cherokee Princess was assigned the identification number A35. With the incomplete records we have now no foals were ever sold at the auction with that number. From that we don't think she ever foaled in Virginia. But that's not completely certain so the search for information continues! She died in 2008 and I thought it was cool that she was in the herd of fellow Maryland transfer Spirit of Assateague at the end of her life.

Cherokee Princess was a bay and her 1991 son was also a bay. We don't have enough information to know if she carried recessive chestnut or how many copies of agouti she had.

She was a tobiano pinto and had one copy of tobiano. We know this because her son wasn't a pinto. She had quite a lot of white so I think it's pretty likely she had another white/pinto pattern. What it actually was there's no way to know. Splashed white is in the Maryland population, but it could have been anything.
