These wild ponies are about a half hour away from me. The Assateague ponies were said to have come off a Spanish ship that was sinking a long time ago.

I was born in Virginia, and grew up on stories of Chincoteague and Assateague ponies. But I have yet to attend a pony penning day, when they drive the wild herds to the mainland and auction some off so that the remaining herd can be sustained by the islands. I think they hold them the last Thursday in July, or thereabouts. I've always wanted to see that, and to buy a pony.

That might be why I haven't gone :)
