My friend, Madison, posted this post today, and I asked her if I could post it here. Madison has her own blog,
Gyrfalcon Studio. I'd been trying to think of a way to write this, and Madison wrote it better!

A few days ago, fans of Chincoteague Ponies got word that one of the most popular stallions in the herd, Surfer Dude, had passed. It had been suspected for a while because he didn't come in during the Spring round up. This stallion has contributed so much to the breed.

To pay tribute to this beautiful guy there is a movement to get him immortalized as a Breyer Horse. Please email Breyer or use their
contact form to help express interest in this idea. Collectors have wanted a new Chincoteague Pony for years and it would be amazing if it was Surfer Dude.

I just emailed Breyer. I would love to help! These ponies are my favorite and I've loved all the stories that have been written about them. I always thought it would be cool to own one or at least go to the roundups.
