Wild Chincoteague Pony, Dreamer's Faith, Stolen

STOLEN!  That's right… someone, or some people, had the audacity to steal a 6-month-old Chincoteague pony from the Main Street Carnival Ground corral on Chincoteague Island, Virginia.  As you can see, this little girl has very striking and unusual markings.  The last photo (click on it to enlarge it) shows the shaved square on her left hip where she received her freeze brand.  The freeze brand simply reads 15, as that is the year of her birth.  Her name is Dreamer's Faith.  She was stolen on September 6th or 7th. and could have trucked, trailered, or vanned to just about anywhere in the United States, Canada, or Mexico by this point in time.  

   She is a chestnut paint (or red and white pinto, if you prefer) with a small star, shaped like a  backwards comma or apostrophe above her eyes.  She has four white stockings.  On her right side, she has a white blotch from her withers to her croup,  with a "bleed-over" dot of chestnut from her left side.  On Faith's left side, along her neck, withers and shoulder, ia what can be viewed as a cross, or a dove flying;  she also has her 15 freeze brand on her left hip.
    The Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Company is offering a reward of $1,000.00 for information that leads to the arrest and capture of the thief (or thieves).  The main investigative law enforcement body is the Chincoteague Police Department, and the person to contact is Corporal Tyler Greenly at  (757) 336-3315.  The spokesperson for the Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Company is Roe Terry, who may be contacted at  (757) 336-3138.  With the lapse of time since Dreamer's Faith original disappearance, she may have been trailered, trucked, or vanned  to almost any point in the UnitedPlease keep your eyes open for this pretty little girl.  And call your local authorities if you see her, or anyone trying to sell her, anywhere….
