Misty is the subject of the Chincoteague Pony illustration in Marguerite Henry's Album of Horses. Here it is in puzzle form! A set of puzzles, like this one, were made from several of the Album of Horses and Album of Dogs illustrations. Misty Memorabilia on Misty's Heaven: https://www.mistysheaven.com/mistymemorabilia.html  The fiction of Misty of Chincoteague was inspired by real life events, like this one. Maureen and her pony Nancy beating Paul and his pony in the Pony Penning races in 1945. Marguerite Henry attended Pony Penning the next year to research what became the book Misty of Chincoteague. Newspaper clipping found in the Beebe Ranch Museum collection.  Oh no! Misty is naked! This is a factory blank of the Breyer Misty mold. She never had paint applied to her. Factory blank Mistys are uncommon but not super rare.  Great great great great granddaughter WH Surf and Sun, better known as Surfette, passed away on Assateague on February 11, 2026 after slipping on some ice.
