Born: May 11, 1998
Sire: Lightning of Chincoteague
Dam: Misty II
Henry was Misty II's last foal and an unexpected one at that. The Allen family did not even know Misty II was pregnant, and in 1998, she surprised them with a new chestnut pinto colt! Apparently Misty II and the Allens' stud, Lightning, had a secret meeting since Lightning was the only stallion on the farm at the time. The colt received the name "Henry" in honor of Marguerite Henry who passed away the previous year. His full name is Misty II's Henry, to honor his mother, who passed away in 2000.
When he was a few months old, Henry accompanied his mother and half sister, Black Mist, to Chincoteague for Pony Penning so visitors could see the latest addition to the Misty family. Henry welcomed many loving pats and behaved himself quite well. Henry also attended Equitana USA in Kentucky with his mother, where he stole the show with his coltish antics.
Henry grew up into a beautiful stallion. He resembles Misty II the most out of any of her foals, and is a fine example of a Chincoteague Pony. Henry spent several years in Texas with Lisa Christian and siring foals there.
Henry sired five foal foals total. His first, Hurricane Izzy, was born in 2003, out of a black mare named Stars Black Velvet. 2005 saw the birth of two colts, his first foals in Texas. The first colt was a palomino pinto named Flash Flood, out of a buckskin mare named Little Beebe that Kendy Allen used to own. Flash Flood was Henry's first son. The second 2005 colt was a bay pinto named High Tide, out of a dark bay pinto mare named Denim and Diamonds, aka Gracie. Henry's fourth offspring was also out of Demin and Diamonds, and was his only 2006 foal. She is a chestnut pinto filly named Misty's Icy Margarita born on December 15th. Henry's last offspring, a palomino pinto filly out of Little Beebe, made her appearance in March 2007. She has been given the name Misty III, continuing the Misty tradition.
Henry went back home at the Allen farm, was gelded, and has been broken to ride. He is turning into an excellent riding pony and also makes appearances at the Chincoteague Pony Centre during the summer. Henry is pictured alongside other Misty family members, including his daughter Misty III, in the book Horses in Living Color by Barbara Livingston. Henry continues to be a delight to everyone who meets him and holds a special place in Kendy Allen's heart.
