We first went to Chincoteague for Pony Penning in 1972, and of course, toured the pony farm where Misty was staying. I got the recently released Breyer model of her, and immediately repainted it to the correct pattern (for 50 years the head has been wrong). Misty died that October, but i've been back every year I could since. Wesley Dennis was a fabulous illustrator who left us some of the finest imagery of Misty, and the islands.

I remember visiting Stormy at the miniature pony center, probably around 1988. At that time, you could walk right up to the stall and pet her. We have a photograph of her with my sister standing next to her. Great memories! For us kids, it was like meeting a celebrity. The miniature pony show was fun as well. I was sad when the place was shut down, but I’m happy someone still has the memorabilia displayed. I hope it remains treasured and well preserved.

I visited Chincoteague and assateague as a kid on a trip with my mom, my brother and my grandparents. It was one of the happiest memories of my life... im coming up on 50 now. One of my dreams is to visit again 😊 I've still got my Misty book around here somewhere 😊 Thanks for sharing ❤❤

Get your trailer ready. The swim and auction are only 3 months away hearts

Thank you so much! We're glad you enjoyed it!

I read the books when I was in elementary school. Later the movie too. 😊

Was there actualy a phantom ? Mistys mom ?

If just one of her paternal male descendants was to be crossbred with an Onager female to produce a possible Hinny, the hybrid of a male horse and female donkey, it would probably be quite interesting.

do a bit of digging in to the history of the museum. it was closed for several years and misty was moved. now granted it may have changed but the last i knew she was not placed back as her condition had degraded and it was going to cost thousands to restore her.
