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

 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, personal photographs of the pe

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 footrest, and a
