All of the Chincoteague Ponies in Virginia were rounded up Friday and Saturday for their second in a series of vaccinations against equine pythiosis, also known as "swamp cancer." Everyone was present and accounted for, except Jigsaw, who was missing from the Spring Round-Up, as well.
The islands have been having wind and rain, so there haven't been any reports from hikers (like Steve and Darcy Cole of DSC Photography) or from Captain Dan's Around the Island Tours or from Daisey's Island Cruises. So, no new foals to report at the moment.... But I do have a couple of photos of Marguerite's new bay colt, as well as up-dated photos from the vaccination gatherings. Unless otherwise noted, all of the photos were taken by Gina Aguilera, who operates the Chincoteague Pony Names: Smartphone App - it has a page on Facebook, and a down-loadable application for your phone.

The herd was running; this little guy slipped and fell and was left behind.
He got a ride in a truck back to his family at the corral.
