Misty of Chincoteague Statue
The Misty of Chincoteague Foundation had a bronze statue of Misty created. The sculptor, Brian Maughan, spent almost a year watching Chincoteague ponies and creating the statue. You can see this statue and have your picture taken beside it on Chincoteague Island.
Misty was a real pony born on Assateague, an island off the shore of Virginia in the Atlantic Ocean. All the ponies on Assateague are small because their ancestors come from ponies in a part of Europe that are small. The ponies run wild on the island and have for hundreds of years.
