Sunpiper's Pedigree
Misty's Sunpiper is Beebe Breeze's fourth foal and was a beautiful palomino gelding. He was born on the Chincoteague Miniature Pony Farm and was named by Celina Boltinghouse. She had intended to name him "Storm Piper" to bring the "piper" name back into the Misty family. Due to his bright golden color Celina decided to call him "Sunpiper". He lived on the Pony Farm for the first year of his life and shared a close friendship with one of his cousins Misty's Wind Spirit.
In 1989 Sunpiper and Wind Spirit were sold as yearlings to Kendy Allen of Manheim, Pennsylvania. Sunpiper continued to grow into a fine pony. When he was four years old Kendy bred him to Misty II. The foal that was produced was a filly named Misty's May Day Twister who resembled her father in color. Sunpiper and Misty II were bred again a year later and produced another beautiful palomino filly named Misty's Heat Wave. Shortly after that Sunpiper was gelded.
Sunpiper was bought from the Allens by Heather McCrea when he was five. Heather trained him and he turned out to be a wonderful jumper and dressage pony. He was then sold to Anita Kokoszka. She took him to dressage tests and he won many ribbons. Anita and Sunpiper competed up to Prix St. George level dressage. Heather and Anita rode him in some team penning competitions after he had been retired from dressage competition.
Sunpiper lived to the ripe old age of 32 before passing in spring 2021. He was one of the last living ponies that was born at the Chincoteague Miniature Pony Farm.
