Historical Pony: Sweet Mischief

I featured this mare's last buyback Misty Mills so I decided to keep this week's historial pony post in the family. This mare was best known as Goose because of a pinto marking that looked like a goose taking flight. Her registered names were Twirling Lace and Sweet Mischief. She was listed as Sweet Mischief on the papers of her foals from the old Chincoteague Pony Association for years and it changed to Twirling Lace in 2005. She was born in 1985 and her parents are unknown. Goose was famous for being able to walk across the cattle guard. Her foals kept for the herd were Merry Teapot's High Bid in 1991, Slash of White in 1998, and the aforementioned Misty Mills in 2006. Her son Calico Kid was an off island island with many offspring. Goose was retired to Texas in 2008 and died in 2021.

Goose was a bay and carried recessive chestnut. Two of her buybacks, Slash of White and Misty Mills were chestnut. Goose appeared to be homozygous for the bay causing agoui because she never produced a black foal, just chestnuts and bays. All this tells us that both of her parents had agouti and at least one parent was or carried chestnut.

Goose was a tobiano pinto and had one copy of tobiano. We can figure this out because several of her foals weren't pinto. I think it's possible she had another pinto pattern with that big blaze she had. Several of the newer discovered white patterns tend to add to existing white or add white marking, rather than big pinto markings.
