If just one of her paternal male descendants was to be crossbred with an Onager female to produce a possible Hinny, the hybrid of a male horse and female donkey, it would probably be quite interesting.

Why an onager? Where would someone even get an onager other than a zoo? There is a Misty descendent that is a mule, with a normal domestic donkey dad.

There’s plenty of them in western India 🇮🇳, and the hinny is the hybrid offspring of male horses and female donkeys. At least hinnies sired by a paternal male descendant of Misty would be better able to withstand the climate of Cambodia 🇰🇭 for an expedition my oldest son’s planning on in order to capture two herds of Cambodian Kouprey; one for exhibition in a large enclosure on the grounds of the royal palace to allow for breeding populations to increase as well as bringing the second herd here to the USA to set up a breeding colony as well as possibly crossbreeding with Texas Longhorns. Any mules used in the expedition will serve as both pack stock as well as being trained to pull a fleet of scratch built Conestoga wagons, seeing as how male Onagers from India 🇮🇳 will be crossbred with Percheron mares to supply the purpose in question. Above all else, several dozen Texas Longhorns will serve as bait for luring the Kouprey out of hiding, and possibly some of the Texas Longhorns will remain in Cambodia 🇰🇭 as a gift for the royal family.

We first went to Chincoteague for Pony Penning in 1972, and of course, toured the pony farm where Misty was staying. I got the recently released Breyer model of her, and immediately repainted it to the correct pattern (for 50 years the head has been wrong). Misty died that October, but i've been back every year I could since. Wesley Dennis was a fabulous illustrator who left us some of the finest imagery of Misty, and the islands.

My oldest son and I went with a friend back in 2011, and we hope to go back for the 100TH one next year. Any that we possibly purchase will be trained for western riding using authentic Charro saddles and bitless bridles, but they’ll remain unshod because some bleeding hearts out there claim that horseshoes on a horse make its feet hurt in some way or another.

It was great to hear my grandfather's voice again after he passed away a few years ago. I did notice one mistake. His wife's name, my grandmother, was Helen, not Ellen. Learned some things by listening to this I had not known about you. Miss you Poppop.

I remember visiting Stormy at the miniature pony center, probably around 1988. At that time, you could walk right up to the stall and pet her. We have a photograph of her with my sister standing next to her. Great memories! For us kids, it was like meeting a celebrity. The miniature pony show was fun as well. I was sad when the place was shut down, but I’m happy someone still has the memorabilia displayed. I hope it remains treasured and well preserved.

Loved these two wonderful people so much. I’m sorry to hear of their passing. Every year during our Chincoteague vacation we’d stop in at the store. It was always the highlight of my whole trip, in fact one year I remember the parents kept saying we’d stop by then it got too late and somehow we ran out of time. I was very upset to miss out that year. I’d love a book compiling all of Mr. Lott’s work and life story. We have bought several of his prints- I wish now we had bought them all! Mega thanks to the both of them for all the great memories. Claire would spend a lot of time talking with us. They were chuffed to hear I was a student at MICA. I loved hearing of their experiences there. They might not have remembered who we were from year to year, but they were always so generous and kind to talk with us. Beautiful people. 🥲♥️♥️♥️

do a bit of digging in to the history of the museum. it was closed for several years and misty was moved. now granted it may have changed but the last i knew she was not placed back as her condition had degraded and it was going to cost thousands to restore her.

The alleged tax on grazing from back when Virginia was still a British colony. Besides, I think that maybe the story of the 16 head of Moorish Ponies (1 stallion and 15 mares) surviving a ship wreck when a Spanish galleon sunk off the coast of Virginia is far more logical. As to the explanation of the wild horse herd in the Carolinas, they’re the ones descended from stock turned loose on an island so the owners wouldn’t have to pay a grazing tax.
