Chincoteague Wild ponies

These ponies were being choraled into a pen by the "salt water cowboys" to later make the pony swim across the bay to chincoteague island where some of the babies will be sold at auction.

No way! Thats so cool! I don't know a lot about horses, is your dad the one on the the spotted brown and white horse at 3:26? I don't know what a Chestnut Piebald is lol. That little foal is SO CUTE!!! Lucky you! What did u name him/her?

@florioorio Actually 'Chestnut Piebald' does not exist. It's an oxymoron (statement that contradicts itself). Piebald is a term for a black and white pinto horse with a fully white face. Pinto means that the horse has patches of white on it or in some cases a white body with patches of color. Skewbald is the term for a white-faced pinto horse that is any color but black, though usually people think of chestnuts when they hear it. Chestnut is the term for a horse with an orange/red haircoat.

Great video!! :)

Actually there is no such thing as a "Chestnut Piebald"- you could say "chestnut pinto". Skewbald is a pinto that is white and and any other color, but a piebald is white and black.

Congratulations on your foal!! :):)

Yup the brown and white! We named him Apache Trail because he was all by himself on the trail coming in

OMG I am in this VIDEA and so is my DAD! I am the one in the VERY beginning and I am wearing the teal outfit tanktop and shorts! My father is the one on the Chestnut Piebald! He is a Chincoteague Island Herder! 3:26 is when my dad and his horse is and that year I bought the little foal that came in last =)
