When I was a child, we had a book by (looked it up) Marguerite Henry entitled Misty of Chincoteaque. I don't remember the story, but I had just gotten a set of oil paints and a canvas, and I painted a picture of it. The painting is long gone and not that great but not that bad either. I used to win art competitions, just a few, and got a scholarship to attend the art gallery classes.

We also had the book by same author, Sea Star, Orphan of Chincoteague. There was a third, Stormy, Misty's Foal and one more, Misty's Twilight.

You’d likely enjoy Black Bess and the ride of Betsy Dowdy then. It’s generally not held to be fictional though.
