T6K-A "Bonnie", a bay pinto mare, was born in October of 2002
On January 4, 1992, a nasty storm hit Assateague Island. The storm created substantial over wash leaving the horses of the Northern end in critical danger. Twelve horses drowned that day - one of the few surviving mares was T6K (Bonnie's dam). She was pregnant by M7D "Sebastian" at the time, and their foal was later dubbed T6KQ "Hurricane". Bonnie's dam retreated North once again and started a new life with Sebastian's son, X11 "Red". The two had Bonnie a decade later. Bonnie has not produced any offspring of her own.
Bonnie is a part of M6MS-G "Chestnut's" band residing on the Northern portion of the island, often near the Ocean City airport and inlet.
