I came out at dusk to spray a wasp nest and almost ran over this beautiful gopher snake. It’s cool so he’s not moving very fast!

This is the 100th Chincoteague Pony foal born on Assateague Island this year, the year of the 100th Pony Swim and Auction! This beautiful foal was first seen today and is a half-sister to our Daisy. (Their dad is Ajax.)

Pony Pedicure Day for the Chincoteague Ponies. Thank you to Dale and Dalia for taking good care of our ponies and horses’ feet! Daisy was already finished before I got to the ranch, so no pics of her. All the ponies did very well. 🤗

The new children's picture book "Sir Harold Rucker" will be coming on Sept. 17! This is a photo of the real Rucker, taken by Alan Chan. Rucker was the first certified therapy dog to work at DreamPower.

This is a photo of Sir Harold Rucker in class at Operation Freedom Paws. He is in the "down under" position (which was not a favorite place to be). He is shaking hands, which was his second favorite thing to do. His very favorite thing to do in the whole world was to lean against a person - any person - just to lean in and snuggle with a person. Sir Harold Rucker's story is coming in a children's picture book, illustrated by Aleksandra Szymanska Art, coming Sept. 17. :) Thank you to Alan Chan for the photo.

Happy birthday, Misty of Chincoteague! Misty was born 79 years ago today. This remarkable little pony has brought joy and hope to millions of children (and adults) around the world. And she had a big part in bringing Poppy, Daisy, Tulips and Nyki to DreamPower! Happy birthday, Misty!

Today we celebrate Misty on what would have been her 79th birthday! It still amazes us that a pony 12-hands high could make such a powerful impact on and bring so much love to Chincoteague Island from around the world. She has opened millions of children's eyes to the love of reading and continues to spread the message of a tiny fishing village off the coast of Virginia's Eastern Shore. Her legacy lives on at the Museum of Chincoteague Island, Beebe Ranch, CHINCOTEAGUE VOLUNTEER FIRE CO., 𝑪𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒄𝒐𝒕𝒆𝒂𝒈𝒖𝒆 𝑷𝒐𝒏𝒚 𝑫𝒓𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝑻𝒆𝒂𝒎, in the entire Chincoteague Community and visitors who share a love of Misty and the Chincoteague Ponies! Happy Birthday, Misty!

A stroll beyond the gates with Poppy, Daisy and Nyki today. 💜 The Friday rushing home cars on Crews Road were driving dangerously fast and stupid, so we pivoted (literally) and came back inside the gates to finish class. Ponies and peoples did well!!
