The first foal to reach the shore of Chincoteague yesterday was, according to the Salisbury Daily Times, "a chestnut stallion with white spots" - the first foal that finishes the swim is deemed King (or Queen) Neptune and is then raffled off at the Carnival Grounds on Wednesday afternoon. A lot of hopes to buy a specific pony die each year when that pony is the first to step on the shore of Chincoteague. I am not positive, but I think that yesterday's King Neptune is in the following photo:
