Born: May 11, 1998
Sire: Lightning of Chincoteague
Dam: Misty II
Henry is Misty II's last foal and an unexpected one at that. The Allen family did not know Misty II was pregnant, and in May 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 two years later.
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 grow 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 sired five foals. His first, Hurricane Izzy, was born in 2003 out of a black mare named Stars Black Velvet. 2005 saw the birth of two colts owned by Lisa Coolidge of Texas. The first was a palomino pinto named Flash Flood, out of a buckskin mare named Little Beebe that Kendy Allen used to own. The second was a bay pinto named High Tide, out of a dark bay pinto mare named Denim and Diamonds. Henry's fourth offspring out of Demin and Diamonds, and his only 2006 foal, was a chestnut pinto filly named Misty's Icy Margarita born December 15. His last offspring, a palomino pinto filly out of Little Beebe, made her appearance in March 2007. She was given the special name of Misty III.
Henry went home at the Allen farm in 2007, was gelded, and has been broken to ride. He has made apperances at the Chincoteague Pony Centre. Henry is pictured alongside other nine Misty family members 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.
