Tornado was Windy's sixth known foal and last of hers to be born on the Chincoteague Pony Farm. His sire was Cyclone, his half brother, who was allowed to roam with the Misty mares and breed indiscriminately. Shortly after he was born Tornado and Windy were both sold to Mike Pryor of Waynesboro, Pennsylvania, and went to live on his farm in the fall of 1987. By this time Tornado had been weaned.
Despite his name Tornado has a gentle personality and was even known to carry small children on his back when he was a yearling. Little is known about his life. To our knowledge Tornado remained a stallion, and has probably sired some foals, but we do not have any records.
Please Note: There was a stallion on Assateague named Tornado and should not be confused with this Misty descendant.
