    You call them Mustangs, we call them Brumbies.

    Like a painting with pleasing colors.

    So, what happens to these animals during your harsh winters? Is this coastal area more temperate or do they get feed dropped for them?

    @Steven--the wild horses have been making it on their own on that island since the 1700s. The bigger problem is poulation control. The horses on the Maryland side, which belong to the federal government, get the pony pill. The ones on the virginia side live on federal land but belong to the Chincoteague volunteer Fire Department. Every July, they're rounded up and a certain proportion of the foals are auctioned off.

    Lovely! Looks to be as I imagined as a kid reading about the ponies.
