Every year my mom packs up the ponies and heads to Chincoteague Island in Virginia for the Annual Chincoteague Pony Swim and Auction the last week in July. Sadly I’m always left behind for this annual homecoming of sorts, mostly because mom says it’s too hot for me!
So while I stay home with dad and watch movies, eat junk food, and stay up way too late, mom and my ponies are performing all week long at the Chincoteague Pony Centre in the hot summer weather. Perhaps I got the better end of this deal?
I’m wishing my ponies the best of luck in their performances, and I just know they’ll make lots of people smile!
See you when you return ponies! You better bring me back a souvenir!
Also, check out this article that was in my local paper all about my favorite ponies! Read it HERE. 
Ammo, it sounds like you’re going to have a fun week hanging out with your dad. I hope he’ll help you continue your posts while your mom is gone. I can’t imagine a week without hearing from my buddy Ammo!
Your ponies are beautiful.
I remember reading the story Misty of Chincoteague when I was a kid. Thank you for bringing back that memory.
