In may, it was announced that both Madeline Rose and Dr. Jay had missed two census counts and were presumed dead. Today it was announced the same had happened with Braidwood and Dani. It was also announced today that the two-year-old stallion known as Taco Chip, with the given name of Adrianna's Yankee Prince, was euthanized this morning.
Taco Chip was born in June of 2016 to the stallion Yankee, and the mare Gokey Go-Go Bones. He was struck by a car on Assateague on 8 August - a week ago. It happened at 9 pm, and the driver was not speeding on Route 611 when the accident occurred. The driver was not injured. Park ranger looked the pony over - his left hind leg was swollen, and he had a cut mid-rib cage on the left. Park rangers checked on him daily after the accident. Yesterday, Taco Chip was on the beach with his sire Yankee's herd. This morning, he was lying down in the marsh and could not stand. The decision was made to euthanize him.

Sorry for the loss of Adrianna's Yankee Prince. Losing our pet is so hard to accept their loss. A pet euthanasia is very tough decision that we need to do as a pet parent for our pet that we want to save from the pain.
