All the ponies are tagged and the tag identifies who they are, who is their mother, color, which herd they belong to and birth date, among other information. So, when they lose one, it is a challenge to reproduce all of that information.
Please leave the link to your post on here so it can easily be found by others. They will all be in one place!! Thank you! ❤
STOP!! BRAIN TEASER AHEAD!!

Answer! Can you guess??? The horse was operating a mill and was traveling in a circle. Thus its outer legs covered larger distance than its inner legs.

I always post this poem down at the bottom of my posts. It is one that has become so near and dear to my heart. I only post the most famous part of it, but, wanted to post it in its entirety today.
they set my aunts house on fire
i cried the way women on tv do
folding at the middle
like a five pound note.
i called the boy who use to love me
tried to ‘okay’ my voice
i said hello
he said warsan, what’s wrong, what’s happened?
i’ve been praying,
and these are what my prayers look like;
dear god
i come from two countries
one is thirsty
the other is on fire
both need water.
later that night
i held an atlas in my lap
ran my fingers across the whole world
and whispered,
"where does it hurt?"
it answered,
"everywhere"
"everywhere"
"everywhere"

Great photos, @dswigle! Those animals are really cute, when they're small like that! 😍
Hmmmm... I see a missed opportunity there. Someone should be collecting that info and storing it on a Database... or even on a Blockchain. 😉
That information is documented and printed out before the auction even begins. The challenge is there are so many ponies together and if it happens, there would be a momentary panic until they figured out who it was!
So glad you could make it! Hope your day is going well and thank you so much! They are adorable!

The prices in that store really looks extremely high even against today's standards.

Well, I am sure that it is Friday somewhere, even now! ;) You know that there will be more that come rolling in all weekend and beyond, right? Somewhere along the line, it has become MarketWeekend! LOL But, I am happy to have so many people participate in it, so I have no complaints!
Tell me it isn't so!! This is a stretch market? :) As if none of us have ever done that one before! Well, I am pretty sure we can fit it in the category somewhere, right? I hope you are having a cooler weekend than I am right now! It is hot and sticky, that is what's on the menu for our weather!

What a fun time! It would be near impossible to not buy nearly all of them. I mean each one is just so cute in its own way! The whole event seems to have such a fun vibe, I just have to put it on my bucket list! Great post!
It really was a fun time!!! Oh, I bid, shamefully!!! I couldn't help it!!! I wanted that little filly who had a heart on her forehead! Who wouldn't? Wasn't she adorable!? I just know that Henry would have loved her too! The whole event has a wonderfully caring and loving vibe.
I have been coming here for over a decade, no matter where I lived on this ole globe. The only thing that would make me sad is if it gets too big, the tendency is for commercialism to move in to make a buck. Isn't that the ruination of America?
Put in on the Bucket list and go there when you can! You won't regret it!
Thank you so much and I hope you are having a great day!!

Aww, how cute and adorable! I’ve had several pets with hearts on them. One dog with a heart on the side when it was a puppy. It grew out of it but it was almost the perfect shape for quite some time. I’ve had had and seen a number of cats with heart shape on their forehead.
Have a great weekend!
It really is isn't it? I have had one cat with a hard on it but that would be the only one. I always thought it was so very special and even in nature, with rocks and other different formations of hearts, they really turn my head. I know it's silly, but it just really does. I was wondering if it would grow out of it and your answer pretty much seals that up. Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't. I sure would have liked to have gotten the one with the heart on the forehead. Now, I will be finding myself looking for her when I'm on Chincoteague Island. Stay tuned and I'll let you know if I ever see her!
Thank you for stopping by market Friday and say hello, leaving your kind comments behind. As always I wish you a most wonderful day!

Here's my entry, a little bit late but here I am :)))

They were quite a few ponies to go around I want to say that there were 57 or 63 that auctioned off to good homes. Everybody there is a huge fan of the Chincoteague Pony and you always consider yourself lucky if you get one. We were lucky and on a few years back and he's a beautiful boy and we love him. I'm not sad that I didn't get one because I think that everybody should have at least one. It's a wonderful event that they hold and I can assure you that the only tears that are shed are tears of joy. Thank you so much for stopping by and for dropping your link! It is so fun to see what you come up with every week and you never disappoint oh, so I thank you for that and now I got to go read about that weed!

OMG PONIESSSSS 💜💜💜💜💜 They are so fekking cute man! Oh my word. And gosh, $3600! I heard the bid in the video. I never actually thought about what ponies cost ... They are truly precious x
I went to the market too! - 🌟 MARKET FRIDAY - THE MILNERTON MARKET 🌟 by @princessmewmew xxx
I wonder who buys second hand false teeth.
I know!!! Right??? These Chincoteague Ponies are so freaking adorable, I love them!! And they are such smart animals and quick studies. Mine was under saddle the first time one was put on him! Hello? That happens never!
He learned to jump in a field with nobody on his back, he just started jumping. OMG! Blew my mind. You need to go back and listen to that video, I thought that one went for $7,000 -so I went back and you were right, the first one was $3600 and the second one was $7,000
There were some that went for $21,000 and $20,000 but most were about $3700 to $4700
But, they are truly precious! I can say that most of the ones that cost a lot were buyback ponies and they are tax deductible. :) They go back into the herd.
You did a Market!!! Yay! I love it and thank you! I appreciate the support and as always thank you for dropping the link here! Have a great weekend!

There's like, twenty posts worth of amazeballsness in this one #MarketFriday! That heart pony it ADORBS, and I was tempted to wave some Steem at it myself. That's so cool that the ponies are cared for over the winter by the volunteer firefighters. And the look on the auction winner's happy face is ALL THE THINGS! Totally needed this lovely and delightful sort of post in my life right now - thanks for bringing us along and I call shotgun for the ride home! 😉 😂 😊 ❤️

Well, hop right in Traci girl! Make sure you buckle up good because we'll be zooming down Highway 13 to go to my Shore House. It's so much easier to have a house over here you're the ocean and be able to maintain a residence close to Washington DC. This way I can get to the ponies quick if I want. LOL I know that you understand that it's all about those ponies, right? Thank you so much for coming along for the ride it is such a fun event that the whole entire town gathers and is part of. Incidentally, the volunteer fire department owns the Chincoteague ponies and maintain and their health should any of them need it although technically they are wild and are free to roam. They're not fed or anything but occasionally if there is a harsh winter they'll throw a few bales of hay out. Read many bales. I'm going to thank you so much for stopping by and saying hello and dropping you're always wonderful words. You are, without a doubt one of the kindest sweetest gentlest most wonderful Souls that walk the earth and I want to thank you for being my friend. Love to you.
And as always, I wish you a most wonderful night.

I super enjoy your post,so many fun facts! 👏👏
Quickly noticing the heart shape spot in the forehead of that pony shows how big your heart is, Denise! 💕
But I love the reaction of the bidder the most. Her emotions just overflows. I love it! 😍
Thank you for taking us there.

I loved your post, the food looks delicious!!
Aw, thank you so much! 💕
Wasn't that bidder just so adorable? Her reaction to winning was so over-the-top emotionally-charged and it really was so infectious in the chain reaction of the excitement was phenomenal. There are not many things sitters so unique gifts this is and even though there are other horse and pony auctions of wild ponies, none seem to carry the same way is this one to us. Perhaps it's driving them through the tide Waters and then walking them down the beach? I'm not sure but I can tell you that it was fun and I look forward to going back to again and again and I've already been 10 or 11 times! I think that that is pretty good considering that I have only bought one pony. But I could have come home with that heart on the forehead little girl. Wasn't she sweet?
Thank you for taking the time to stop by and say hello and leave your always wonderful words behind. As always, I wish you a most wonderful day!

The pony with the heart looks sweet and the heart in her forehead makes her SWEETER! 😍😍😍
Have a beautiful day ahead, too! 😘
Haha! Super cool! I go there all year round and take a kayak out and glide it through the waters, looking for the ponies. Of course, I don't get up in their face as this is their habitat and I just want to observe them, not invade it.
I know!!! I love the little heart too!!!
Thank you and I know we both will have an awesome one!

Kayak? Really?!? That makes it even more awesome!!! Grrrr, I envy you now, from head to foot. Where is justice????? Hahaha! 😂😂😂😂😂
Hehe! Kayak is the easiest way to get into the Tidal area without disturbing the ponies too much. And yes! It is a lot of fun and I look forward to spending a little more time out there.
Have a great night!!! :)

Thank you! I'm actually just about to snack on a few after dinner for a nice treat. :) I hope you find some good ones, as well!
Aren't they the sweetest!? Every single person that bit on one I can assure you will love it until the end of time. They are such a sweet little angels and they have great personality. That's my experience with the breed. Plus we have our little Henry who is a Chincoteague Pony. That's so sweet of you to worry about them but everyone who is there is so supportive of the town and the herd and come back time and again to see them and see if there's something that they can volunteer doing.
Thank you so much for stopping in checking us out, and dropping your link here. I appreciate that so much. As for another non-traditional entry oh, you know I'm all about being different! So bring it on woman!

My pleasure @rynow Many thanks for your kind visit and input. 💐
Thank you so much, Trudee! @TrudeeHunter
The atmosphere was super charged with fun and yes! You are right! I know that my kids totally over-the-top steeped in In memories since the first event. The feather fund was something I hadn't heard about until the last few years although it's always been in existence. I've just become more cognizant of the back workings of all of this having gun involved after I purchased a buyback Pony. This was after Henry and it goes back into the herd and helps keep the lines clean and the markings true. So they take the best of the best and sell them as buyback ponies which is tax-deductible but will also help keep the herd just the way it is.
The feather fund was spearheaded by a wonderful woman and heard Legacy will live on forever to her generosity of keeping it going. In the only thing I can think is how amazing it is to be able to leave a legacy like that. It truly is something to think about to be able to leave something that will keep growing and growing. Thank you so much for stopping by and you being you're always wonderful comments and for dropping off your link. As you know that's so appreciated!

Beautiful and pure beings! No wonder they produce so much emotion. Emotion that your photos convey faithfully. This series of blogs is extremely helpful in understanding a way of life that most of us have never known.
I wrote this blog for the first time using Steempeak, a very interesting interface:
The Old Market That Was Once Modern
Interesting market!!
Thank you!
Thank you so much, Dan! @bluemoon you have spoken the absolute truth! They are such beautiful creatures come in my eyes anyway. Every year, there is great love and much emotion that comes through at these auctions. Not all of the options but watching the pony swim and watching The Beach Walk. It's amazing how much love people have for these ponies. I will admit that it took me by surprise but here I am, after 10 or 11 years still mucking through the tide Waters and swampland just to capture a peek at them swimming from Island to Island.
It's kind of funny, but, this is one of those places where the entire town works together and when you win a bid, everyone is excited and happy and cheers you on, no jealousy, just pure happiness for the other person. I can remember when I won the bid. I have a house about a half-hour away near a different beach and I was there for the weekend. A gentleman knew I didn't have a trailer with me and he offered to drop my new pony off at my house as he was going to his mother-in-law's house down the street. He didn't know me, but the love there is contagious!
Wouldn't the world be such a different place with that attitude of gratitude and love?
Thank you, again and again, Dan. You will have to tell me how Steampeak did and if it is worth me using. Did you like it? Thank you for dropping your link here!

I am very glad when I understand your happiness given by this event and by your pony. This happiness is evident from what you write and the way you tell. It's so good when we have what to expect every year!
Steempeak is easy to use and has much more information about the coins you have in your wallet. They are centralized and easier to find. You can use up to 10 tags when posting ... you can see here: Steempeak
Yes. I think you understand me exactly and I do like the dedicated event every single July. People know how to plan their time around I will have to look at the site and see if it will work for me. The reason I like busy is because it gives you a nice vote and I use pallet for the other one. I have given up on you saying most of the other things because I feel like there's too many out there and so I just stick with the basics. However I am not against trying something new as everybody else seems to like it or hate it. So I will give it a look and thank you very much. Have a great night!
Thank you! You know that I use esteem for the same reason, they give an upvote without which I would seem a beginner, below 0.50 per post. I understand your conservatism and when I recommend something I do it just because I think you might like it. You just have to look and choose. It was a surprise to me.

Wow just watched the video. $3900 for a pony? I had no idea they were so expensive?
Is that expensive?
Let's face it. I had no clue about horse prices in general 😂
Great post Denise, and thank you for all your hard work for the community and the !tip 😋
Well I have to admit that I went back to listen to that video and the first Pony went for 3900 and the next for 7000. To be honest with you the highest one went for twenty one thousand and there's so many variables in between.
I am glad we got our swim the prices were more reasonable because they have escalated in prices. Thank you so much for your lovely comment and tipping you is my pleasure!
Jeez, $21,000! I really know nothing about the horse trade even though I live in the countryside. I'll have to chat with my friend. She has a few horses.
I'm still figuring out this Palnet slider?
Well, I just played around with mine a little and if I do 10% they get a cent. I am sure it has to do with what % you have.
To be fair, the $21,000 and high bids were for the buyback ponies. Most of the others were between $3500 and $7000.
I'm still playing around with the Palnet slider. My 100% upvote is worth about 6 cents? I noticed that whenever I upvote on Palnet it reduces our vote power on steemit?

Beautiful looking guitar!!
Thanks @rynow I love it. :-)
I knew this was to be your Market Friday post, not because your predicable, not because I am brilliant at guessing what is going to happen ( which may or may not be true) but simply because you mentioned it I believe in your Wednesday Walk post if my memory is not failing me, and I have bene looking forward to it that first one os so cute, and I didnt know that these pony’s were relatively easy to look after
II love the idea of the Feather Fund what a wonderful idea
Ohh and I almost forgot here is my post for this week https://steemit.com/esteem/@tattoodjay/market-friday-a-taste-of-india-ca4b53e1f75d2
Thanks for this great post and being an active member and wonderful Guide of @steemusa !tip
Those Indian shops really looks beautiful!!
Oh, I know, I am so predictable! LOL Admit it, JJ! @Tattoodjay
But, you are right! I did mention it on the #WednesdayWalk post as I knew a lot of people were interested in watching the entire week, and when it got to be Thursday, I was so busy, I was thinking I should have done it ahead of time as a normal person would.
Please God, make me normal. I need to be ahead of the game here!
This breed is unusual in its easy keep status. I love it!! Henry has been the cheapest horse/pony I have ever had, in terms of money. Plus he is easy to care for. Because he was born in the wild, I think they avoid many of the more domesticated illnesses and maladies that affect their systems.
Thank you for dropping by and for leaving your link. I am so appreciative of your dedication and I want to thank you. As always, have a great night~

I always so being normal is over rated and I do not want to go there LOL
I can just tell by how you talk ( well OK type) about henry how special a place he has in your life :)
always a pleasure to join Market Friday :)
!tip
Oh, what is not to love? Riding bareback through the meadow, into the woods and knowing that you have a sure-footed pony not throwing you off at the next corner.
He has been a great keep and my kids love riding him as he is an awesome jumper too. I was so surprised how easy he was broke. I have never had a horse that went under saddle first time out.
We got lucky.
Thanks, you!
I think not only you got Lucky he got lucky to be yours :)
Awww Shucks! Thank you. :)
Most welcome :)

Enjoyable yet again and educational. I have never rode a horse nor been to an auction lo!
You captured the emotion of that girl. Just by reading this and looking at the photos, I can already feel the happiness. We do have horses here brought by Americans I think or some other invaders, Japanese maybe, I am not sure. Mostly they are used for business for horse rides around town. It is one of the things you can do while visiting. When people see horses pass by, you can tell from the expression of onlookers the amazement. They gawk and point 😁 I've been here all my life and I haven't been in one. Maybe I should pay a visit to one of the parks where they have the most horses. I have been writing about Camp John Hay, a former US base where there are horses, too, available for rides.
For now, here's my market friday to a quick visit to Agoo, La Union.

I love those old buildings you captured in your post.
Well, riding a horse is something I have done most of my life. My family owns one and many of my relatives raised them.
That young girl was so excited about winning the bid on the horse. She was totally beside herself with joy! I have had that feeling and today is unexplainable the emotional impact it has on you. They auction off the horses to make it a fair deal for the companies as they are a very coveted commodity here. Even here in the United States where horses are plentiful oh, it's only in certain areas and it is a worthy second look when you see one go by in some places. I personally have paid for a horse and buggy ride and I own a horse. So it is as much for the ride as it is any else. I have heard that horses are very rare they are and I cannot think of who it was but it was somebody from there. Thank you because I have also learned something here and I think the bat is one of the joys of being on steemit and sharing the different cultures.
Thank you for stopping by and dropping your link off and leaving your kind words behind. As always I wish you a most wonderful weekend.

Well, I must admit, Svetlana oh, it is an unusual event that is nowhere else in the United States, and I'm not sure if it's anywhere else either but, it is lot of fun and it is a week-long of different events all leading up to the auction. So in fact. It is a wonderful time. I'm glad that you could come along even if it was through the blog and a video.

That is so cool that you got to go to the Chincoteague pony market! I use to read the series of books about the Chincoteague Ponies when I was younger! They were one of my favorites.
I almost got a wild horse when I was living on a farm and it came up that they were looking for owners for these wild horses they were thinning out but alas it didn't happen for it wasn't are farm and it is a big commitment to keep a horse.
Thanks so much for sharing this it made my day to see the young foals - although I was a little concerned about the trauma they must have gone through to be put through an aution. Good thing it is only for a short while then they go to a loving home!
I truly enjoy going through the Chincoteague Pony auction. I enjoyed the whole entire Pony week. Oh yes! Misty of Chincoteague. I think every little girl read that.
Wild horses can be kind of need and I know a lot of people that got the Mustangs when I lived in Texas and they turned out to be pretty good horses. I like the way Chincoteague controls the size of the herd by making an event of it and just the atmosphere alone makes it a wonderfully happy experience for all. This way they keep the very best that will breedwell and keep the herd looking premium and the others go to good homes were they are love forever and ever. If you ever change your mind they have a rescue and there are plenty of people that want one. The fools are okay and the trauma is not so huge. The babies that are too young to swim they taken Trail over to the crowns and it's actually only 24 hours that they are corralled with their mommies and it's not until the last few minutes that they are separated. I can guarantee you that every one of those are loved. Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving such a kind and thoughtful comment. As always, I wish you a wonderful weekend.

Wish I could have been there with you for the whole Pony week! I would have loved it! Good to know it is done with compassion and care with as little trauma as possible!
Do you have horses? I use too but have since moved and I'm not set up for having horses anymore.
Thanks for the tip too!
We do!!! I loved being there the whole week and we have done this for the last 10 or 11 years!
It is done with lots of compassion and sprinklings of love all over the place! or a short time, I had to board them as I didn't have room for all, but, we are much better now! :)
Thanks again and have a great night!

You know I loved this. When you bought Henry did you go with the idea you were going to buy a pony or did you find your hand going up without control? Did your family train and break Henry so he is ridable? I hope you have more on this series. I think a story about Henry would be interesting.
I am so glad that you love this! It is such a fun thing and I hope someday you get to be a part of it! When I bought Henry oh, I actually did not dream that I was going to be going home with a pony. But once I started looking at them I couldn't believe that I wasn't going to go home with one. So it was really kind of funny the way we ended up with him but he is a darling and we absolutely adore him. He rides tirelessly he jumps and he is just a good old boy. So I have one more installment of when they go riding back into the sunset. Which I will probably do 4 Beautiful Sunday. As always my dear oh, I wish you a most wonderful night!

Sounds like a wonderful story. I know the unimaginable feeling of not going home without one. Looking forward to Sunday.
I may be doing a #marketfriday post soon. I'm going shopping for an electric bike in the next couple of weeks.
Omg! I know someone who has one and loves it! I will be excited to hear your take on it.

Cute baby ponies, my girlfriend used to own horses and would compete in dressage competitions. I'm worried if we ever went to one of these auctions we might end up getting one lol.

Not to scare you, but you should be worried! The last one that was bought in our house what sport has the same auction few years back. They are absolutely irresistible when they are tiny. I lived in Texas for a while and I cannot tell you how many stairs my family got for doing dressage instead of barrel racing. LOL good luck and stay far away from auctions!

Thank you so much @owasco! The Chincoteague Pony Week, actually is a series of events, which I posted most of the week. I mean, who can resist the tiny little ponies when they are but a few months old, right?

Two other people and I purchased a buy back pony last year. They are one of those things where I really wanted another but needed to not be doing that! So, to keep the herd going strong in the best of their traits, the buyback makes sense.

I just saw a clip of this on the Smithsonian channel last night @dswigle!!!! I couldn't believe it (I think I scared my husband to death I was so excited!!!) What a beautiful island and such a wonderful story. Virginia is certainly a beautiful state. These ponies are amazing, I can't believe you have one from the auction. Love this story Denise!
Oh my gosh! I put clip from the National Geographic on Wednesdays post. You should go look at it because I think it would probably be more amazing than the Smithsonian one. I had to choose between the two and I chose the natgeo one. You do not have to go through the whole entire post because it's at the very end and it is the swim. Isn't it just such an exciting time there! I've been going for 10 or 11 years and the story is beautiful and I do love Virginia, although it's not where I was born. But, it's funny because it is the perfect place to live. The winters are too cold and we don't get that much snow and we live in a banana belt living in the Washington DC area. I do have one from the auction and his name is Henry and occasionally I post pictures of him. I'm going to have to dig out his baby pictures now from when I bought him at all because he was so sweet and adorable I could have picked them up and put them in my minivan. That's how tiny he was. The only reason I didn't is because it was against the law. Lol thank you so much for everything for coming over, for sharing your story and mostly just for being such a kind and loving person.
As always I wish you a most wonderful night and by the way, happy anniversary again!

The ponies are so cute! I don't understand the "buyback pony" concept though. Does the act of entering a pony into an auction and then buying it back give the pony more value somehow? It's the only reason I can think of as to why they'd do it.
Actually the concept of the buyback Pony is to keep the select few newborns in the herd for breeding purposes. It keeps the best of it's attributes going on. Usually Foundation will put money towards a buyback and everybody knows ahead of time if one is going to be a buyback. It's a tax deduction for most and the money goes towards the volunteer fire department who actually own the ponies and if they need a certain type of care, they provide it. They put them in the auction to raise money. That really is their sole purpose and everybody involved is on board with that because we all love the Chincoteague ponies and the volunteer fire department. I personally live over in the Washington DC area and just visit over there but it's a wonderful place.
As always, have a great night!

Very beautiful ponies! I like brown dogs and brown ponies!! That one with the heart marking is very special.
The auction looks very exciting with lots of suspense! I will have a heart attack because of the pause and indecision.
We don’t have wild ponies here! It would have been much fun in our history to have wild ponies. Traveling by elephants took much longer than horse drawn carriages like in cowboy time in America!
Have a wonderful day.
I do love these ponies and they are so beautiful! Brown dogs and Brown ponies! I am partial to the brown and white ones. Of course that's the kind that I have. Although I would have taken the one with the heart if I could have. I did bid on her but she was a buyback so she stayed with the island. It is very exciting and has a lot of suspense. There's not so much indecision as usually one of the partners wants it and the other one thinks it might be too much so. It all works out. Although you don't have ponies there and traveling by horse-drawn carriages much quicker oh, it is so much more exotic to go on the back of an elephant. I missed out on that but I hope to fill that square one day.
Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving your wonderful words and I wish you a most Wonderful weekend.

Ohhhh Denise this is my girlhooddream !! I love this market i would gave been in ahhhwwww all day if i had attended
Oh!!! Seriously!!?? Mine too! I actually did buy one and I love him!!! He was sooooo tiny, not quite three months old when I got him and cute as a button!
This is one of my most favorite markets and I could go there all day long! I have been attending for about 10-11 years. Every year, I still get the same thrill as I did the first time. Can you believe it? My little guy was easily broken and went under the saddle on the first try. They are so easy going and such hard workers. They love being busy and riding and going on trails.

I had a girlfriend with a caretaker horse ( not hers but she managed the maintenance I don’t know if that’s normal at your place but here it is ) and I was so proud of my black riding boots and I loved the work .... and braiding of the hair and tail. Goshhh it’s 30 years ago those were the summers hahaha
That is normal here also. Mostly for people who don't have the time or the inclination to do the care that a horse needs. I love my boots, I have three riding and one mucking pair and then some short paddock boots to clean the stalls with I loved doing it when I was a teenager and I still do it for ours here.
And the pony kisses! Oh, yes! LOL

Never been to a horse market, did go to a chicken one once, but didn't buy any chickens though
Well, horse auctions are not all that common especially on the East Coast but it does happen and you went to a chicken Market or a chicken auction? Now that might be a little bit of fun! Where they are exotic or just run-of-the-mill chickens? You didn't buy any? What were you doing at a chicken auction then? thanks for stopping by and leaving a few words and I wish you a most wonderful night
#MarketFriday loves you!

It was a place where they sold exotic chickens, and normal ones too. Went there with my gf, when she was around, and thought to get a couple of hens to lay eggs for the children to go in search of, I'd even built the hen house, but it was not to be and we went back empty handed. Couple months later we split up, and I think we both regretted not getting those chickens...
My brother raises exotics and peacocks too. Come to think of it, most everything he has is on the exotic side.
So, you never got to use the hen house? I guess it is never too late to get chickens. Fresh eggs are the best!

What a great market Friday! I love that the tradition of the pony swim and auction is still going strong! Thanks for such a great commentary and wonderful pictures too!
Thank you so much, Diane! It's one of the funnest Market Fridays there is and isn't it amazing that the tradition of pony swim and auction is still going since I think 1925? I have been to 10 or 11 of them and I love that and we always have fun! Thank you for your kind words about the commentary but I know the pictures leave a lot to be desired and it just wasn't happening for me that day with the humidity and the hundred degrees and the Sun. Be that what it may, it happened anyway and still have a good time. Thank you again and you do leave some of the nicest comments!
Have a great night!!
#MarketFriday loves you!
