Since the Chincoteague Pony is a recognized breed in and of itself,
similar to the Shetland Pony, the Welsh Pony, the American Quarterhorse,
and the Arabian etc., we detrmined there was a need for a Registry of the
Chincoteague Ponys.
It was therefore, with a great amount of Pride, Enthusiasm, and Optimism,
that the "Chincoteague Pony Association" (CPA) was born in the summer of
1994.
All ponys sold by the Fire Co. are eligible for registration in the
Chincoteague Pony Association Registry. Everyone is encouraged to join
the Association. You do not have to own a Chincoteague Pony to join the
Association and help support the ponies.
Upon joining, you will receive your membership card and a decal for
the "Chincoteague Pony Association". Membership Fee's are TEN DOLLERS ($10.00)
for Annual Membership and ONE HUNDRED DOLLERS ($100.00) for Lifetime Membership.
Along with membership card and decal, everyone joining with a Lifetime
Membership will recieve a Certificate of Recognition (suitable for framing
and wall mounting) in recognition of their support and generosity.
Upon registering your Pony with the "Chincoteague Pony Association"
you will recieve a Certificate of Registration with your Pony's Name and
Registration Number. Registration Fee's are FIFTEEN DOLLARS ($15.00) for
Association members and THIRTY DOLLARS ($30.00) for non-members.
We invite everyone to join the Association and have their pony registered
with the "Chincoteague Pony Association". All Proceeds generated by the
Association go directly to the care, maintenance, and support of the Ponies
for items such as, but not limited to - Feeding, Veterinary Bills, Inoculations,
etc.
