Stars Black Velvet
Stars Black Velvet, affectionately known as "Tonka", was one of the Allens' "veterans of the swim" ponies. She is a beautiful solid black with only a thin blaze. Tonka was born on May 9, 1994 and is sired by a big bay stallion named Ocean Star and out of the chestnut mare Virginia Belle. Virginia Belle also produced Surfer Dudes Gidget, the highest selling pony in the 2003 auction, and a turnback pony.
Tonka was trained under saddle, and could be seen at the Chincoteague Pony Centre, performing in the pony shows as well as spending time in the paddock. She produced her first foal and only Misty offspring, Hurricane Izzy, in 2003, who was sired by Misty II's Henry. Tonka was sold in 2005 to a family in Kentucky while in foal to Cezanne and foaled a black colt, Moose Encounter.
