A.com Retail Store Wanted -- Help Do Your Part In Saving More Horses Museum of Chincoteague Signs Contract to Save the Beebe Ranch (Continued from page 7) wanted to do more. They own the wild Chincoteague Pony herds. To control the wild pony population, the foals are auc- tioned off annually on Thursday of the last full week of July. Each year, six to 10 foals are selected for future herds. Called buybacks, these foals are also sold, but the price they bring does not pur- chase the pony, it’s a donation to the fire company. In a Facebook post on April 25, fire company public relations officer, John Leonard wrote, “With special consideration from some members of the Pony Committee it has been decided that we will choose one foal that will be sold as a buyback in a one-time online auction with all of the proceeds going to help save the Beebe Ranch.” The auction will be online from June 9 to June 14. “Our goal is first to choose a foal that is a good fit for the herd, then the next priority - if we are able - is to have the foal be a di- rect descendant of Misty or at the very least look like Misty,” Leon- ard wrote. “The purchaser would of course be granted the right to name the foal which will become part of our herd and live its life in the wild. We are extremely excited to see what this foal brings, and we encourage everyone to start spreading the word near and far!” Last year, two buybacks brought in over $30,000 each. After social media posts drew their attention, the Brey- er model horse company also sprang into action. In a Facebook post they wrote, “To support the Museum of Chincoteague Island's ongoing efforts to save the Beebe Ranch, Breyer is offering a special Gold Misty and Stormy test run set via eBay auction, with all proceeds to be donated to the Museum's fundraiser.” That auction ended April 22 with a final bid of $12,875. Faith reflected on her vision for the ranch. “Everybody loves the thought of the Beebe ranch from the book, from a simpler time,” she said. “Here’s an opportunity for us to not make it a glammy, shiny carnival attraction, but a place where people can walk back in time, visit the ponies, maybe take a walk on a trail in the back of the property or attend a lecture to learn about Chincoteague ponies. I’d love to see the house looking like Grandma Beebe just stepped out and still has coffee brewing. We want visitors to have an au- thentic visit.” Donations may be made on- line at chincoteaguemuseum.com or https://gofund.me/bd12d625 or mailed to the Museum of Chincoteague, PO Box 352, Chincoteague, VA 23336.
