The 6 Chincoteague Pony Buy Back Foals of 2023

 The Pony Committee of the Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Company has decided upon 6 foals out of the 2023 crop to join the filly Beebe's Perfect Storm as Buy Backs for this year.  There will be 3 colts and 3 fillies who are Buy Backs.  -  A Buy Back is a foal chosen by the CVFC for its' bloodlines, conformation, and color to be kept on Assateague as breeding stock.  A person, or group of people, purchase the foal, pay for it (a tax write-off), have their photo taken with the foal, and get to name it.  Then the foal is returned to the care and oversight of the CVFC for the rest of it's life, serving as a broodmare or stallion in the CVFC herds. -  One filly was donated early for public auction by the CVFC, as a fund-raising gift for the Museum of Chincoteague Island to help enable their purchase of the remaining 10 acres of the original Beebe Ranch.  That filly was auctioned for a record-breaking $40,5000, and was named Beebe's Perfect Storm.

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 ....
