Where could you buy a Chincoteague Pony and how much would it cost in US dollars?

Each year they do the Chincoteague Island/Assateague Island pony swim. Where they send a herd of Chincoteague Ponies over to Assateague where they round them up and auction them off... It really depends on the type, age, and gender of the pony to determine how much it is. The islands are located off of the coasts of Virginia and Maryland.

What novel idea did the people of Chincoteague have for controlling the number of wild horses?
In 1925, they held the first annual roundup of the Assateague (Chincoteague) ponies. This is called the Chincoteague pony swim. During this, they swim a herd of the ponies across the Assateague Channel (inbetween Assateague Island and Chincoteague Island). When they reach the shore of Chincoteague, the ponies are put in pens. Then, before they swim them back to Assateague Island, they hold an auction to sell some of the ponies. This helps to decrease the population of the wild ponies. The money that they raise from these auctions helps to fund the Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Department, whose firemen are the ones who round up and swim the ponies across the channel.

The Assateague herd is owned by the Commonwealth of Virginia, and the Chincoteague herd by the state of Maryland. In order to retain permits to graze the land, neither herd can exceed 150 ponies.The pony swim, which began in 1925, is held on the last Wednesday of July each year. After the swim, both herds of ponies are penned on Chincoteague Island and inspected by veterinarians.The day after the penning, healthy colts and fillies that are yearlings or younger are auctioned to the general public. The proceeds from the event benefits the Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Company.On Friday, the remaining Assateague ponies swim back across the channel to their home.Author Marguerite Henry made the annual event internationally famous in her 1947 book, Misty of Chincoteague.
