Description
Ever since reading "Misty of Chincoteague" as a fourth grader, I have wanted to seek out the wild ponies of Chincoteague Island, Virginia. The opportunity finally came my way as my husband and I headed to the island to see if we could find them. There are only about 150 horses in several bands around the island, but it's like any other wildlife, you have to be at the right place at the right time to see them because they're always on the move. It was our last day, and we were disappointed that we had not been successful in taking any photos of the much sought after ponies. We had scheduled a boat tour of the saltwater marshlands, and our captain assured us that he would find the ponies. It took some tricky maneuvering through some shallows, but Captain Henry came through! What a treat to observe these beauties in the saltwater marsh landscape, such a different terrain than I am accustomed to seeing.
