I read the Misty books, but the only one I owned was Sea Star: Orphan of Chincoteague.
Man, you just get darker and darker, and the weird thing is, your aura? Beige.

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I got the gift boxed Misty & Stormy Breyer models with the books. Brighty, too, I think.

I thought it was called "Peter Lundy and the Medicine Hat Stallion"... or was that the movie? Ohh Leif Garrett.

Cool. I have Brighty. I also loved Justin Morgan Had a Horse.
I was just thinking of the Justin Morgan book because one of the US teams in Combined Driving at the WEG was a team of black Morgan horses. Sadly, two of the five horses got spun on the first day so they weren't on tv at all. They were the only team of completely American horses entered. (One of the US teams were Quarter Horse/Friesian crosses.)
Isn't it interesting that Henry never wrote a book about Quarter Horses? I guess they just didn't capture her imagination.

Wikipedia says that San Dominigo: the Medicine Hat Stallion was the first title and that Peter Lundy and the Medicine Hat Stallion was a later edition's title.

Was Peter Lundy a different title for Santo Domingo, the Medicine Hat Stallion or was it a completely different book with similar characters?
Didn't it get published under both titles. I know that I was older when it came out and had to check it out from the kids section of the library, which when you are a teenager was cause for making up elaborate stories about babysitting tiny tots.

I've been to Chincoteague and have seen Misty's stall. You may bask in my aura.
(Back in the '60s, the old person at the farm at the air of "Oh, god, more tourists, I'm so tired of traipsing out to the barn to point at that little sign.")

I'm still bitter that despite actually living in Maryland my family never made it to Pony Penning Day. I'm sure that had Chincoteague been the site of a Civil War battle we'd have been there every summer.

I loved Justin Morgan, too (I never knew it was also a movie!) I will go off about the awesomeness of morgans with very little notice. It's almost as bad as when I get started on percherons.

Ooh, Percherons!
There was a lovely team of Percheron/Thoroughbred crosses driven by a US woman.
Also, some lovely Percherons in the Vaulting.
