Possible Buy-Back Foals.... (With Photos)

According to reports from the Southern Holding Pens on Beach Road at Assateague Island, Virginia, ten fillies are now sporting necks tags, after the veterinarian check.  There are eight red tags and two yellow tags.  Usually the red tags designate the chosen Buy Back foals for the year.  The two yellow tags are alternate choices, in case of injury, or if one of the red tags ends up being the first foal to swim across the channel and be raffled off as (in this case) Queen Neptune.

    The eight red-tagged fillies are:

Black Pearl and Riptide

Calceti'n and Ace or Maverick

Essie and Mavrick

Whisper of a Living Legend and Ken

Beach Baby and Ace

Catwalk Chaos and Prince of Tides

Kachina and Hoppy

Doc Amrien and Hoppy

Yellow Tags:

2017 Chincoteague Pony Foals 41 through 50

These are photos from different sources and people, some are copyrighted (mainly by Darcy and Steve Cole, owners of DSC Photography of Greenbackville, Virginia), some are not.  Copyrighted photos are always marked so.
   The names in quotation marks after the sex id are my personal names for the foals - of course, whoever actually purchases the babies will give them their registered names - but this helps me keep them straight....
   The photos are also NOT arranged chronologically - I just try to choose shots that give a good view of markings on each side, as well as a facial shot...   Sometimes a butt shot will be included because of bulls-eyes or tail markings - a half-color tail, or a tipped tail, etc...
