RE: Market Friday: Chincoteague Pony Auction: Don't Forget to Pay the Lady!

in Market Friday2 years ago

They are wonderful ponies! It is a lot of fun to attend the entire week! The roundup, the pony beach walk, the swim, the auction, and the parade, then the auction and the swim back for the moms and buybacks going back to the other island.

I didn't get one until I had a proper place, but, I did not pay 30K. I did however put money into the one that was 32K It was a charity donation. There are many of us that get together and donate money for a pony that is donated back to the Fire Department, to help support all of the ponies. It is a buy-back pony - it goes back into the herd. I don't know if I help you understand or confuse you more. There might be 100 people who donate on this one pony.

It is for the cause, not because it is worth that much. :)

Thank you so much for your support!

#MarketFriday loves you!

Hello, Denise. I understand and it seems to me a lovely cause. That island and all the events around those wild ponies must be amazing. So nice you could enjoy the week there. 🤗

Thank you. Your words are always so sweet and filled with kindness. Have a wonderful night.
