#32 - A Wildlife Refuge

We went to Chincoteague and Assateague Island.  We went on a boat ride and saw the wild ponies that live on Assateague.  At the end of every June, they swim the ponies across the channel to Chincoteague and people can buy the foals.  If they didn't sell some of the young ponies, there would be too many ponies on the island.  This is called "Pony Penning Day."  There's a bunch of books about the horses on that island. "Misty of Chinoteague" is one of them. They're really good books, based on true stories and real people who are still alive and living on the island. It was really fun there.
