Hey guys!!

The Chincoteague Pony Drill Team is going to Kentucky in August to perform at Kentucky Horse Park. 🐴

Their show this Saturday is to raise money for this and is ran by the drill team! They will be performing and doing games. There will also be a non-horse class. Check this out to help them raise money and have an opportunity to meet the team and ponies! 🐴🫶

Ok, people. We have a big event coming up and we need everyone's help. On Saturday June 22, we are having a special fun horse show at Kerkaken Acres just to support the Chincoteague Pony Drill Team and raise money for their appearance at the Kentucky Horse Park this summer.

All funds raised this day will go to support this trip and appearance. And to make it a fun day for both horsemen and horse lovers we added a few extra classes. For horse people there will be classes of skill including pleasure and equitation and trail, as well as fun classes like barrel racing and crawl thru the barrel. There will also be a surprise class for kids (no horse needed) and there will be a cake walk for everyone.

Plus this is the only place we know where there is a pleasure class just for Chincoteague ponies.
And (drum roll, please) the drill team will be performing a drill that day for everyone.

Cost to enter your horse for the day is $50 or $6 per class. There will be a food stand with lots of good stuff to eat. Bring your lawn chairs, come and have fun. We will also have some silent auction items to bid on there.

Kerkaken Acres is located about 1/2 hour from Chincoteague, at 14086 Winterville Rd, Bloxom, VA. Negative coggins required. No need to sign up beforehand, just come, bring your horse if you have one, and enjoy!!!! Please help us get the word out!!!

Thank you for supporting the drill team.

Shipwrecked survivors or tax-dodging trickery? Did you know Chincoteague's famous ponies have an origin story shrouded in mystery? Some say they descended from a shipwrecked Spanish galleon, a la Pirates of the Caribbean, while others believe they were brought by clever farmers to avoid taxes!

Whatever the story actually is, the Chincoteague Ponies have found their way into the hearts of thousands of visitors and locals alike.

Want to see them for yourself? We hopped on a boat with Daisey's Island Cruises for an unforgettable day exploring Chincoteague's stunning waterways!

Your Chincoteague Island adventure is waiting for you! Wondering what you can do in a day on the Island? Here's an itinerary to follow:

Morning: Grab a delicious pastry from one of the downtown cafes and set sail with Daisey's for a guided eco-tour. Keep your eyes peeled for ponies, dolphins, eagles, and other wildlife!
Afternoon: After docking, explore the charming downtown area. Grab a bite of fresh seafood and browse the shops on Main and Maddox. ️
Late Afternoon: Visit the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge's Visitor Centers and learn more about the island's history and ecosystem.
Sunset: Head back out with Daisey's for a relaxing cruise as the sun dips below the horizon, painting the sky with vibrant colors.

Of course, this is just the beginning! Find all kinds of things to see and do on the Island on our website, visitesva.com.

Who are you taking with you to meet the ponies? Shout them out in the comments and plan your perfect vacation on Virginia's Eastern Shore.


Virginia is for Lovers
