2010 Pony Penning Auction

Last year the Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Department auctioned off 67 foals and yearlings; this year the number was 57. Prices today ranged from $375 to $8,100; last year's high sale was $11,700. I don't yet have a total of the amount raised today. All proceeds go for ambulance and fire equipment and training for the island. - I think the highest bid this year was placed on the black foal with the heart on its shoulder.
