The Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Company is currently selling the eight foals - five fillies and three colts - that have been born since Pony Penning near the end of July.   The foals for sale are for the buyers to take home - no Buy Backs in the Fall.  The 8 foals were born between 29 July and 25 September.  I will post photos of all eight foals being sold below, with date of birth (or date first seen), sex, color, sire and dam.  They are being auctioned on-line by Internet Horse Auctions at this URL: https://internethorseauctions.com/   Their site has instructions on registering to bid on a foal, etc.  You can view the current bids without registering to buy.  Bidding opened at 7 p.m. EST on Saturday, 12 November; bidding closes at 7 p.m. EST on Wednesday, 16 November 2022.

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

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

 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
