Sixty-two foals were born prior to the annual Pony Penning week (this year, July 20 - 27; in 2020, from 25 through 31 July). Even though the Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Company does everything possible to preserve and protect the ponies and foals, we do, occasionally, lose a few due to birth defects and/or natural causes, like lightning and quicksand. We lost four babies this year - Kimball's Rainbow Delight foal, and colts out of Destiny's Feathering Spirit, Surfin' Chantel, and Seaside Miracle. Here are photos of the foals we lost:
Destiny's colt
Chantel's colt
Seaside's colt
The only sighting of Rainy's foal...
Also, the first foal to arrive on the shore of Chincoteague from the Pony Swim on Wednesday, is designated King or Queen Neptune (according to its sex), and is raffled off by the CVFC. This year we had a Queen Neptune - the daughter of Doc Amrien and Effie's Papa Bear (Hoppy):
Here are photos of the foals from the 94th Pony Auction presented by the CVFC, with their selling price, whether they were a designated "Buy Back" or for a Feather Fund recipient, and/or any newly given names by the new owners. these photos are shown in the order in which the ponies were sold, not the order of their birth. Seven of the foals are to be picked up in October, during the Fall Round-Up; those seven foals and the Buy Back foals and all of the mothers were turned out into the southern compartment of Assateague's CNWR on Friday. - Also, please note that all of the following photos were taken by, and belong to DSC Photography of Greenbackville, Virginia.
