A Chincoteague Miniature Pony Farm postcard with Windy and her first two foals. Windy was Misty's first granddaughter and Stormy's second foal. She was half Thoroughbred through an accidental breeding of Stormy to a racehorse owned by Ralph Beebe. We didn't doubt this story, but were excited to confirm it last year though DNA testing. One of her living descendants with multiple lines to her came up as 29% Thoroughbred. An unusual result for a Chincoteague Pony. We're hoping to one day figure out the identity of Windy's sire.
https://www.mistysheaven.com/windy.html Windy's 1973 daughter Sunshine is next to her. Sunshine was later sold to Florida and is the dam of Misty's Twilight who had her own Marguerite Henry book. http://www.mistysheaven.com/sunshine.html The third pony is Cyclone born in 1974. He was a breeding stallion and sired many foals on the old Pony Farm. At least three of his foals were unfortunately out of his dam Windy. http://www.mistysheaven.com/cyclone.html
