Chincoteague Pony Auction of 2021 - On-Line Sale Begins Today - Foals 1 thru 27

  This year's Annual Pony Auction will be conducted on-line, as it was last year, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  Restrictions were lifted too late for the Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Company to develop plans for an in-person auction this year at the CVFC Carnival Grounds on Main Street.  Next year's sale - on Thursday, 28 July - will take place on Chincoteague Island, as usual.
   This year's  Auction will start on July 22nd at 7:00 pm EDT. It will end on July 29th at 7:00 pm EDT. The auction is being held by sporthorseauctions.com and you must register with them to place a bid or purchase a foal. After the auction is complete, I will post one photo of each foal and the price paid for it - on Saturday, 31 July.
   All of the photos I will be posting were taken by, and are the property of, DSC Photography.  They make their living from selling photos of the ponies.  They have a marvelous website, where you can look at and purchase a huge variety of photos of the ponies, including this year's foals.  You can visit their website at:  https://dscphotography.net/   If you purchase their photos, their copyright info is not on the photo.
   The CVFC chose 10 fillies as the BuyBack foals of this year.  The letters BB will appear before the foal number in the listing.  A BuyBack is purchased by an individual, or group of people, who pay the price they bid for the pony; but the pony stays in the care of the CVFC for the rest of it's life.  The purchaser of the BuyBack gets to name it, and have their photo taken with the foal (during normal auction years - I don't know if this will happen this year, due to pandemic rules still being in place).  Foals on the BuyBack lists usually produce the highest bids.
   You will notice there are no listings for foal numbers 13 and 24; both of these foals unfortunately died within two weeks of birth from unknown causes.
   Here are foals 1 through 27 - with birth number, date of birth, color and sex, and the name of the dam first with the sire named second  (because we don't have that many stallions compared to the mares)...  Ponies with an asterisk (*) before their names are direct descendants of Misty of Chincoteague.  I try to post views of both sides, and occasionally the face, or rump, of each foal:

All Chincoteague Pony Foals Born So Far in 2024 (93 at the Moment)

Image
 It looks as though the Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Company will have a bumper crop of foals for its' Pony Auction on Thursday, 25 July.  The people who live on Chincoteague Island do not pay a tax to support their Fire Department and Ambulance Service.  The purchase of fire fighting equipment, fire engines, ambulances, rescue vehicles, all training for both services, and the few paid positions in both services, come through the sales of the Chincoteague Pony foals, the annual Firemen's Carnival in July, fund-raising events and donations.  The Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Company was established in May of 1924 - 100 years ago this month - after two horrendous fires wiped out downtown areas, and then when a third fire occurred, the previously purchased fire-fighting equipment would not work.  Fourteen men passed a hat around, raised $4.16, and the CVFC was formed.    *** The photos I use in this specific blog are NOT mine.  They are the copyrighted,...

Auction Prices of the Chincoteague Pony Foals on Wednesday, 27 July 2023

Image
 Here are the prices this years' foals brought in at auction on the Carnival Grounds at Chincoteague Island, Virginia.  Foal 70 was Queen Neptune and was raffled off on Wednesday night, after the swim.  Tickets for the raffle were sold at $1 apiece, and all 10,000 ticket chances were sold, so she raised $10,000 for the CVFC.  Seven Buy Backs had been announced - one chosen early and auctioned early to benefit the Museum of Chincoteague Island in their quest to purchase the Beebe Ranch - and near the end of today's auction, an 8th foal was announced as a Buy Back, number 79.     Six other items were donated to the auction for money raising purposes - a large photo by DSC Photography of ponies coming to approaching the corral during a round-up; a "wooden quilt" wall hanging made from fence pieces of the old North corrals; a signed print from Michael Bernstein; a collection of 3 items - a 1985 Pony Penning poster owned by Maureen Beebe, a horseshoe-shaped foot...
