Horses

Horseback Riding near Fairfax County

Brenda is going to camp on Chincoteague Island.  Chincoteague is famous for the wild pony swim and auction that happens every year.  This year it will be on July 25, 2018.  Some people say the ponies came from a Spanish ship that was supposed to take the ponies to Peru.  Other people say the ponies belonged to pirates that secretly kept them there.  The pony swim was an annual custom long before the USA became the USA.

Did you ever ride a horse?  Do you like to ride horses?
