A gift from then Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson to young Caroline Kennedy, Macaroni the pony was a well known and popular Presidential pet. Macaroni roamed freely around the White House grounds and received thousands of fan letters from the American public.
Hand crafted and hand painted, this lovely miniature figurine captures Macaroni’s likeness. It makes the perfect gift and is a delightful addition to any collection.

The White House has been the home not just to the Presidents and the First Families, but also to all their family pets. Presidential pets have included barnyard animals, exotic birds, bears, alligators, domesticated cats, and many, many dogs. From FDR's Fala and the Bushes' Barney to the Obamas' Bo and Sunny, some of these pets have themselves become household names across America.
