Buckskin Mare "Coco" (T3DHT) was born in April 1995. Her dam was unnamed mare T3DH and her sire was the palomino stallion N10G "Trigger." She is the only solid buckskin on record in the herd at the Assateague Island National Seashore (AINS). She produced a healthy bay filly in March 2009 named T3DHT-H "Gizmo."
The Assateague Ponies, as they are affectionaltely called, are actully feral wild horses who roam Assateague Island north of the Maryland/Virginia state line. Park visitors and campers are continuously reminded by officials and signage to slow down and be observant of the wildlife. Note that there is no "Misty of Chincoteague" here. The horses of Assateague Island are separated into two herds - "Misty" was representative of the Virginia herd.
