Born: July 9, 1998
Sire: Windjammer
Dam: Windy
Nightmist is a black and white stallion with two blue eyes. He was the result of a breeding when the stallion and Misty descendent Wind Jammer was allowed to share Windy's pasture. Windy soon became pregnant, and in 1998, she foaled her last foal. Windy was 29 years old, and the strain of giving birth proved too much for her, and she died shortly after Nightmist was born.
The colt is owned by Mike Pryor of Pennsylvania who owned Windy and several other Misty descendants. Nightmist thrived and became a fine stallion. He made his first appearance on Chincoteague during Pony Penning 2000, has continued to do so. On those occasions, Nightmist often resides at the Beebe Ranch when he visits. A birthday celebration also takes place, reminiscent of the birthday parties that his great grandmother had.
Nightmist has been the subject of artists. He has been in a couple of paintings by Nancy Hogan Armour of Chincoteague. A model made after his likeness was created by the Peter Stone Company in a limited run of 100. Jessie-Ann Friend wrote a children's book about the pony titled Nightmist: The Miracle Pony, which was published in 2005. 2008 will feature a new line of products centered on Nightmist.
Nightmist has also sired a number of foals, starting in 2001. He generally breeds five mares that Mike has, and is also available to breed outside mares as well. His get include Little Angel, Summers Nightmist, Seamist, Shadows, Phantom Mist, Sierra Mist, Nightmist Legend, Cyclone II, Pepsi, Rainstorm, Tsunami Mist, Stormy Mist, Rainy Day, Mountain Mist, Jerry Lee, and several others.
Nightmist died on May 14, 2009 after a bout with colic.
