This is the real, actual stuffed Misty of Chincoteague and her daughter, following those are real live ponies on the island and finally are three shots of the island from the mainland, one on a sunny day and two on a rather forbidding day. No doubt Chincoteague Island will be under water soon because of global warming. Isn't it wonderful that we will always have Misty and Stormy to remind us of the good old days.

Misty and Stormy eagerly await someone who will open the blinds so that they can look out on their beloved island.

Here are some wild ponies of Chincoteague. They won't be wild much longer.....they are headed to the auction block!

This is Chincoteague on a "misty and stormy" sort of day.

I've heard that Misty's unfulfilled wish was to visit other famous stuffed creatures. I've decided to add two that Misty particularly wanted to meet. The first doesn't seem particularly nice but the second seems peaceful enough

Hello! Stormy was a filly! The only colt Misty had was Phantom Wings. And I kinda doubt that Misty wanted to meet a stuffed wolf, OR a dead man!

Thank your for correcting my ignorance. I edited the text to make Stormy a filly! Gee, that was easy.

So, are the stuffed horses at a museum? Kinda creepy. I undertand Roy Roger's Trigger is stuffed and in a museum, too. I loved your photos of the roundup and the island. I am more familiar with the wild Banker Ponies in NC. But they all have an interesting heritage.

Yes, they are in a little museum in the town. It has various memorabilia as well as misty and stormy. Every year they throw a birthday party for the descendants of Misty.

So Misty's real? I loved the Marguerite Henry books about her and her fillys/colt. I hope that one day I'll be able to visit her and Chincoteague.

Yes, the story is based on a real horse & her filly. It is a fun trip to the island particuarly when they do the famous pony swim from the island to the mainland. Hundreds of people come out to watch both from shore and from boats.
