CFVC Pony Committee Designates 10 Fillies as 2022 Buy-Backs

 Out of the 65 foals born to the Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Company's Chincoteague Pony herds that live almost year round on the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge on Assateague Island Nation Seashore in Virginia, the Pony Committee of the CVFC has chosen ten fillies designated as this year's Buy-Backs.
  Buy-Backs are foals that are sold at auction to the highest bidder - however the pony will stay in the care of the CVFC on the islands, for the rest of the pony's natural life.  The person, or group, who purchases the foal has the right of a purchase photo (or several photos) with that specific foal, and that person, or group, gets to name the pony.  The Buy-Backs then return to Assateague after the Pony Penning Auction until the Fall Round-Up in October.  The Buy-Backs are then caught and trailered to the CVFC Main Street Carnival Grounds on Chincoteague, where they receive grain and hay to insure they get a good start on life.  At the time of the Spring Round-Up, in April, they will be turned loose on Assateague to run free until the regular July Pony Penning.  As with all CVFC ponies, they will be freeze-branded and micro-chipped.  
   Buy-Backs are chosen by the Pony Committee for their bloodlines, conformation and coat color.  They will be breeding stock for the CVFC, and when they are mature to have a foal, then their foals become the property of the CVFC to be sold at auction, like any other pony.
   Following are the fillies chosen by the CVFC Pony Committee as the 2022 Buy-Backs.  All photos shown in this blog of these ponies were taken by DSC Photography, and the photos are copyrighted by DSC Photography.

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 ....
