Coinciding with Breyerfest weekend is Equilocity, a similar multi day event of model horses run by Stone Horses (also known as The Peter Stone Company). Formerly of Breyer and the Misty of Chincoteague Foundation, Peter Stone created his own line of model horses for the distinguished collector.
A few Misty family ponies have been issued by Stone Horses in the past, commissioned by their owners when such a thing was possible. Nightmist was created in 2003 with a run of 100, and distributed by Nightmist's owner, Mike Pryor. A one of a kind model was made of Misty's Hurricane Izzy through the Portrait Horse program which no longer exists. https://stonehorses.com/ for more information on the line of models at Stone Horses.

Pictured is Misty II in the 1990's posing at Kentucky Horse Park. She's the only grandfoal of Misty to have a Breyer model.
Read more about the wonderful Misty II on our website: https://www.mistysheaven.com/mistyii.html This filly named Misty II appeared with Misty at the premier of the movie. Articles about her reported that she was a blood relative of Misty and was one of the movie Mistys. How exactly the filly was related to Misty we don't know. She was raffled off and disappeared into obscurity. The much more famous Misty II was Stormy's 1974 daughter. Read about what we do know about her and other possible Misty relatives on a new page on our website:; https://www.mistysheaven.com/mistysrelatives.html

Picture of movie Phantom on a postcard. Some non-Wesley Dennis illustrations of Phantom are of a solid flaxen chestnut because of her portrayal.
After the movie was filmed she lived at Burton's Ranch. The barn she lived in is now the Country Store at Tom's Cove Campground. She greeted tourists alongside a movie Misty and had at least one foal. Maureen jumping Misty's dam Phantom at Beebe Ranch. The Beebe Ranch home is in the background.

Maureen and Ralph Beebe helped trainer Les Hilton train the ponies for the movie, likely including this Pied Piper. After the movie the pony made public appearances and performed tricks for the crowd at Pony Penning 1962. We haven't found anything else about him or his life. Would love to know more if anyone knows! One of only two photos of Misty's sire Pied Piper that we know of. This photo has been on display at Beebe Ranch and at the Museum of Chincoteague Island. Pictured with Pied Piper is Clarence Beebe.

An early advertising flyer for the Chincoteague Miniature Pony Farm. The farm was the home of Misty family ponies for many years. Only Cloudy and five other Misty descendants were living on the Pony Farm at the time this flyer was printed.
