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. https://www.thecolorfulchincoteague.com/black.html 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. https://www.thecolorfulchincoteague.com/tobiano.html https://www.thecolorfulchincoteague.com/mixedpinto.html
