Watch Famous Ponies Swim in Chincoteague Island Tradition | National Geographic
These horses aren't taking a dip in the water just to cool off in the sweltering Virginia summer. They're the famous Chincoteague ponies of Assateague Island, and they're herded across the channel to Chincoteague Island every July by saltwater cowboys. Most of the foals are auctioned off the next day to raise money for the Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Company, which owns and manages the herd under a permit from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. A few foals designated as buybacks are donated to the fire company and returned to Assateague Island to replenish the herd and live in the wild for another year. The auction also helps maintain the feral horse population at around 150 on the Virginia side of Assateague Island.

The Galaxy S4 was mounted to the inside of the car window hence the shaking of the video(s).

Kristine's found out just before this vacation that her cancer came back (Metastatic Breast Cancer). This was a very emotional time for us and Chincoteague / Assateague helped us forget it while we were here.
Chincoteague Brant hunting January 2019 knocking down a limit
To say it was cold would be an understatement. With the wind chill
it was hovering around 18 degrees. The north 15 mph winds was
brutal but it was worth it.
The first Brant was at mach 1 when it went by and i was not out in
front of it. Plus there was probably a little over excitement seeing
my first Brant coming at me.
The next 2 Brant, I slowed down and squeezed off better shots. I
ended the morning with a limit and my first Brant ever!
Thanks for watching! Check out my other waterfowl videos in the

Chincoteague Virginia Brant hunting in January 2019. Knocking down a limit
Another great morning on the water. It was almost flat calm and
much less uncomfortable than yesterday. A quick limit of Brant
in 25 minutes. Ducks were flying early and everywhere. Brant
also got up earlier than yesterday.
Pays to stay off the phone! That first Brant snuck right in on me.
Luckily, he had a few friends that came in behind him.
It was a great 2 day hunt in Chincoteague, Virginia. Sad the
season is closed but cant wait to get back at it again next year.
Thanks for watching!

Assateague Island Maryland Wild Horses and Ponies Terrorizing Tourists
Assateague Island Maryland Wild Horses and Ponies Terrorizing Tourists. Visit my blog for more crazy videos and pictures here:
Assateague Island National Seashore is near Ocean City, MD and not far from Salisbury, MD. It is also within an hour and a half drive time of the Delaware Beaches (Lewes/Rehoboth).
This beach is famous for its wild horses that roam the beaches freely.
There are signs everywhere that remind the visitors NOT to feed, touch, or approach the wildlife/horses. The horse did walk down and around people and their blankets. People started to rush over and take photos of the horse. The lifeguards did blow their whistles and motion for people to back up if they were getting too close to the horse. But, it was still a pretty neat experience to see the wild horse on the beach. The wild horse seemed pretty calm with all the people standing around, so they must be used to all the attention.
