Chincoteague Pony Auction Results for 2021

    The on-line Chincoteague Pony Auction was on-going for a week, and ended tonight, Thursday, 29 July.  Had it taken place in person, as it usually does, the Auction would have started at 8 a.m. EDT on the Carnival Grounds on south Main Street. and continued until all lots were sold.  This year, there were 6 items donated to the Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Company to help raise funds for fire equipment and training, besides the ponies being auctioned.
   The items donated were a hand-made quilt featuring the ponies, a hand-knitted shawl with ponies included in the pattern, hand-made wind chimes made of a horseshoe and shells, a painting, a framed photographic print, and a photographic print on canvas.  These six items brought in $3,200 for the CVFC.
   Originally 75 ponies were to be auctioned; one was injured and withdrawn from the sale.  When more is known about his injuries and whether he will be sold publicly, I will post it in my blog.  The 74 ponies brought in a total of $416,550.  With the donated items mentioned above, this auction raised $419,750 for the Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Company.
   Of the $416,550, the ten fillies who were designated as BuyBacks brought in $162,950, or an average of $16,295 each.  The highest bid on a BuyBack pony was $25,500; the lowest was $10,600.  The 64 foals sold to people to betaken home as personal riding or driving ponies brought in $256,800, for an average price of $4,012.50.  The highest bid on a personal pony was $9,300, and the lowest was $2,400.
   As usual, I am listing the foal number, date of birth, color and sex, sire and dam.  If the foal is a BuyBack, the letters BB will be at the beginning and end of the listing.  If the foal is a Misty family member, there will be an asterisk next to the mare's name, as well as a notation of being a Misty descendant (5 sold today).  Only one lately taken photo of each pony will be shown, instead of the two or three I usually show.  Final bid is listed after the foal number.
   Almost all photos are by DSC Photography, which has the copyright on the photos.

Nine Breeders' Cup Races From Del Mar on Saturday, 2 November 2024

Image
 The horses that participate in the Breeders' Cup races each year are at the top of their games; they have to be nominated, and they have to earn points to qualify to enter such high profile races.  The Horseracing Integrity and Safety Act (HISA) became law after being passed by Congress in 2020.  HISA was created to implement, for the first time, a national, uniform set of integrity and safety rules that are applied consistently to every Thoroughbred racing participant and racetrack facility throughout the United States and it's territories. All horses, trainers and staff members that participate in the Breeders' Cup conform with HISA rules.    Rigorous veterinary checks are carried out on each horse that runs in a Breeders' Cup race.  Nine races were run Saturday at Del Mar in California.  Prior to the races, one horse in the Fillies and Mares Sprint was scratched by the trainer; in the Distaff, 3 of the ladies were scratched by the veterinarians; in...

One Hundred Chincoteague Pony Foals Born in 2025 (So Far) For the CVFC's 100th Annual Pony Penning and Auction!

Image
In 1925, the Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Company began their management of the annual Pony Penning that had been taking place on Assateague and Chincoteague Islands in Virginia for over a hundred years.  Pony Penning was an annual event when the owners of the livestock, running free on both islands, were rounded up and identified.  The stock that the owner did not need in the foreseeable future, was sold off at an agreed upon price, and was usually removed from the islands.  It had been a well-known event for many years, with people gathering from the Carolinas, Virginia, Washington D. C., Delmarva, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania.    When the CVFC began managing Pony Penning, they got county and state permission for a Carnival, set up games and different types of races (boating, swimming and horse and pony), as well as having the Pony Sale.  And the CVFC advertised the Carnival and Pony Penning events in newspapers.  It became a big event ....

A New Blog For A New Year Of Life

     Today is my 65th birthday - and it's been a wild ride so far.  I'm old fashioned, and will continue to use two spaces after a period and colon.  I was born in the rear seat of a car on the way to a Navy hospital in Virginia, and my family lived in Virginia, Tennessee and Texas by the time I was five years old.  Dad retired from the Navy after 22 years of service on my fifth birthday.  We were stationed at the Kingsville Naval Air Station in Texas, and we moved to Gainesville, Florida so Dad could get a degree using the GI Bill, and so he would "never have to shovel snow again."  I spent my school years in Gainesville, and spent the majority of the summers running wild on Chincoteague and Assateague Islands in Virginia.  The islands were where my Mom's family had lived since 1697.      When I say I ran wild on the islands, I want to clarify that I never did anything wrong there...  I just had few limitations....
