She is being assisted by Ralph Beebe in this photo from the Peninsula Enterprise. Marguerite Henry wrote Misty's name underneath. Those hoofprints can still be seen in front of the theatre today!

Vintage 1972 newspaper ad for the first release of Breyer's Misty of Chincoteague. The Misty released that year was this 4 eyed Misty. Called that because of having circles around both eyes. It's one of the most sought after version of Breyer's Misty because it was only produced in 1972 due to Marguerite Henry (very understandably) not liking the design.

A 1960 tourism brochure for Chincoteague. It features Misty and her 1960 colt Phantom Wings. Including a picture of Misty, Marguerite Henry, and Phantom Wings. The write up doesn't mention the colt's name so it must have been printed before he received it in a well publicized contest. Phantom Wings: https://www.mistysheaven.com/phantomwings.html  Great great grandson Misty's Irish Mist as a foal in 2007 at the Chincoteague Pony Centre. And in 2025 at Kentucky Horse Park meeting the park's Misty statue. Misty's Irish Mist: https://www.mistysheaven.com/irishmist.html   This handsome stallion had quite an influence on Misty family, but he wasn't one himself. Lightning of Chincoteague was born on Assateague in 1988 an was purchased by the Allen family to be their herd sire. You can see how he got his name by the slash of white on his side! Lightning sired many foals out of Misty descendant mares and non Misty mares. His most famous foal is the last living greatgrandfoal of Misty, Misty II's Henry. He died in 2012 and has many living descendants today.

If you look closely there's an M on the stirrup.  |
