It was always special to see these two golden girl sisters together. Misty's MayDay Twister is on the right and Misty's Heat Wave is on the left. Both were daughters of Misty's SunPiper and Misty II. They're pictured here at the Chincoteague Pony Centre in 2009. They passed away in 2016 a few months apart.

All about Cloudy: https://www.mistysheaven.com/cloudy.html  A very cool and very rare Misty mounted on a wooden base. She was presented to Kendy Allen in 1990 for her work with Misty II. Their names used to be on a plaque on the base, but it was lost to time. At least one other Misty mounted on a base like this is known to exist.
