Watch it Boy

The pony named "Riptide" irritates the one named "Thunderstorm Skies" and is almost kicked! Owned by the Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Department, these wild ponies are allowed to live on the Assateague island wildlife refuge. The heard is maintained at about 150 ponies. They are truly a sight to behold in in the wild!
