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!

Ah, I understand now. Anything that helps our firefighters is definitely a big plus for all of us.
We can never support the brave men and women protecting us, our families, our homes and these adorable little ponies, too much. Thank you for the clarification. Here's to a great night/day to you as well! :)
I agree! Thank you so much. I believe it is a worthy cause! Thank you again for visiting #MarketFriday!
