The Assateague ponies by Keiper_ Ronald R
I've heard stories of these that live on the islands off the coast of VA and they are cool stories of pirate days.
Research on all aspects of the ponies lives. 37 mile long island where it's protected now.
Seashore caretakers want others to watch from afar as the ponies can be dangerous.
Lot of different aspects of the ponies: how they were deposited there, how they life, weather concerns, other animals,
birthing and they've lived over 300 years! Learned show more about other islands around the world and specific characteristics of the ponies there.
Found this book fascinating, so many new things I've learned about them and their habits, how they are identified and what information is included on the bands.
Like how they trim the herds and also get rid of the troublemakers. Wish they had talked about what happens when they die on the island. There was some talk of autopsies but that was it.
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device). show less
