Chincoteague Ponies and the Feather Fund

As I prepare for the Mustangs on the Hill Rally tomorrow, I have been thinking a lot about wild ponies in general. I want to share with you an organization that helps children buy Chincoteague ponies each year at the round up made famous by Marguerite Henry in her book Misty of Chincoteague.

Take a look at their web site and read the touching history of how the organization got started in honor of a woman named Carollynn Suplee. Since its conception, The Feather Fund has been led by a woman who critiqued my pony novel, The Tugboat Chronicles ~ Confessions of a School-Pony at a writers conference several years ago. Lois Szymanski is the author of many children's pony books, including a non-fiction work on the Chincoteague ponies.
