President Kennedy visits with his Children, John F. Kennedy Jr. and Caroline Kennedy, and pony Macaroni, White House, West Wing Colonnade, June 22, 1962. A gift to Caroline Kennedy, from Vice-President Johnson, Macaroni became quite a celebrity, appearing with the young girl on the cover of Life magazine and getting thousands of his own fan letters. Macaroni was usually stabled in Virginia, at the Kennedys' country home, but was frequently brought in on a horse trailer and freely roamed the White House grounds. Described by the JFK Library as a "10-year-old gelding, part Shetland, roan with four white stockings and star."
