This is Emma, the youngest pony to play Misty in the movie. The first photo is Emma with her dam. Emma appeared to be a bay, possibly a silver bay. The next is her after her bleach job with movie Phantom. Her natural dark hair still showing through on her face, which can be spotted in the movie The bleaching was done to make her look like palomino Misty. These photos are from The Pictorial Life Story of Misty in which Marguerite Henry writes about Emma.
Emma spent her post-movie life at Burton's Ranch (now Tom's Cove Campground). An article from 1965 described her as a brunette again after being bleached blonde for her leading role. She had a stall in the barn with her name above the door, it seemingly said Misty because the name Emma isn't mentioned. Would love to know more about her life!
