Updated Photos of Chincoteague Pony Foals 1 through 50 Born in 2024

 My first blog regarding the first 50 foals born on the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge, on Assateague Island in Virginia, and owned by the Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Company (CVFC), can use some up-dated photos.  The first blog, which also shows photos of the sires of the foals, can be reviewed at  https://bcrittersandhistory.blogspot.com/2024/05/fifty-chincoteague-pony-foals-born.html  There are newer photos of almost all 50 foals - but some of the herds are elusive and camera-shy.  
   I am going to show only one of my favorite up-dated photos for each foal numbered 1 through 50.  Then I will start working on the next blog with foals 51 through 80 (foals 79 and 80 were born overnight).  Foals with an asterisk (*) beside their number are descendants of Misty of Chincoteague.
   Again, unless I state under the photo that it was taken by someone else, the photographer of record is DSC Photography - Darcy and Steve Cole.  The person, or company, that took the photo owns the copyright of the photo.  I am using these photos for illustration only, and I receive to monetary gain from any of my postings.  DSC Photography is a company that earns a living by selling photographs.  Please do NOT "steal" their photos.  The photos that I use are excellent - what I think are the best of the best.  Please support any and all photographers that I name buy legally purchasing their photographs.

To view photos of all of the ponies belonging to the Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Company, I highly recommend you visit Darcy & Steve Cole's  DSC Photography website.  It may be viewed at:  https://www.dscphotography.net/

To look at pedigrees for all equines living on Assateague Island, both in Maryland on the Assateague National Seashore, and in Virginia on the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge, I also recommend visiting: https://chincoteaguepedigrees.com/pedigree/pedigree.pedigree.php    This site allows you to view current (and deceased) ponies; there is a choice for Maryland or Virginia ponies, and besides offering pedigrees, it will also direct you to links where photos of the ponies (if available) can be seen.

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

Image
 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
