Me too! I grew up in Va. and our Dad once took us to Asateague to see the ponies swim to Chincatigue (or was it the other way around?) Anyway, it’s one of my fondest memories (I was around 5). I wanted to find Misty and Starlite (or Seabright? 5 was nearly 40 yrs. ago for me) and take them home! I read all of Magaruite Henry’s books...
A kindred spirit! I LOVE M. Henry’s books. [One problem: when I was little, I thought her book on horse breeds was exhaustive. When I got older and started hearing about breeds she didn’t mention, I had some momentary but very real confusion. ;) ] It’s amazing that you actually got to see the ponies swim. I hope to see that myself one day.
I read your homepage, btw. It’s a shame about that Brit. Were you able to get your kitty back? Wazoo is such a cool name!
