Foal 53 Is Here - Plus Photos of Other Foals In the CNWR

Foal fifty-three arrived on June 5, along with two others.  The 53rd baby is a filly out of Shy Anne (also known as Half 'n' Half) and was sired by (probably) Ajax, but possibly by Neptune.  (Neptune hasn't had any documented foals in about 3 years - he covers and breeds the mares, but no babies appear, so we believe that he's become sterile.) 

Foal 52 is out of Black Pearl and sired by Maverick - a solid black filly...

And some photos of the older foals...

Chincoteague Pony Fall Round-Up

The Fall Round-Up took place April 7 and 8, Friday and Saturday.

All ponies returned to Assateague (fall pick-up mares), and most of the 2015 Buy Backs were turned into the north areas, as grazing is limited south.

We lost Cloudburst to a nasty wound infection, despite 3 weeks of intensive care; her new foal is being taken care of at the UP foal NICU.  And 20-year-old stallion Wild Bill looks to be in very poor condition; he might not survive the winter.
