Pony Auction on Market Friday
All the ponies are tagged and the tag identifies who they are, who is their mother, color, which herd they belong to and birth date, among other information. So, when they lose one, it is a challenge to reproduce all of that information.
Please leave the link to your post on here so it can easily be found by others. They will all be in one place!! Thank you! ❤
STOP!! BRAIN TEASER AHEAD!!

Answer! Can you guess??? The horse was operating a mill and was traveling in a circle. Thus its outer legs covered larger distance than its inner legs.
And just like that, this post is done. I hope you enjoyed your visit! As always, I want to thank you for taking the time to visit #MarketFriday!! Thank you for supporting the challenge! Have a most fabulous day! Cheers!!
Let the sun shine in on your life
So the joy may touch your soul

How to Participate:

4. Post the picture(s)
5. Don’t forget to hashtag it! #MarketFriday by @dswigle

It is always interesting to see the different markets around the globe! C’mon! Show me your market shots! I eagerly await them!
I love to share and be shared with! I am intrigued by different cultures. It is exciting and yes! I would love to see yours! Don't forget to take photos wherever you happen to be shopping - whether it be the grocery store, the local marketplace or even an art gallery, a kite festival! Wherever money is exchanged for a service or for merchandise. Be different if you wish! It does not have to be a traditional market! We will love it! I promise you! Don't forget to use the hashtag #MarketFriday and @dswigle.

I always post this poem down at the bottom of my posts. It is one that has become so near and dear to my heart. I only post the most famous part of it, but, wanted to post it in its entirety today.
they set my aunts house on fire
i cried the way women on tv do
folding at the middle
like a five pound note.
i called the boy who use to love me
tried to ‘okay’ my voice
i said hello
he said warsan, what’s wrong, what’s happened?
i’ve been praying,
and these are what my prayers look like;
dear god
i come from two countries
one is thirsty
the other is on fire
both need water.
later that night
i held an atlas in my lap
ran my fingers across the whole world
and whispered,
"where does it hurt?"
it answered,
"everywhere"
"everywhere"
"everywhere"

I'm so happy I got to see this post today, @dswigle. What a wonderful and heart-warming event. And great pics, as always :)
Well it's certainly good to see you again! I am sure you have been on a Merry-Go-Round and I hope all is well with you. I know you've been around but I also know that you have been really really busy. So thank you for taking the time out to you join the market Friday. It was a most wonderful event at the pony swim and auction! As always, I wish you a most wonderful evening or morning, whichever is more appropriate.
#MarketFriday loves you!

The prices in that store really looks extremely high even against today's standards.
Great photos, @dswigle! Those animals are really cute, when they're small like that! 😍
Hmmmm... I see a missed opportunity there. Someone should be collecting that info and storing it on a Database... or even on a Blockchain. 😉
That information is documented and printed out before the auction even begins. The challenge is there are so many ponies together and if it happens, there would be a momentary panic until they figured out who it was!
So glad you could make it! Hope your day is going well and thank you so much! They are adorable!

Well it is still Friday - on the west coast- for a few minutes so I will take that as I made it, barely. Here is my Market Friday post. It may be a stretch, but remember it is in the spirit of Market Friday at least. Have a great weekend you.

Well, I am sure that it is Friday somewhere, even now! ;) You know that there will be more that come rolling in all weekend and beyond, right? Somewhere along the line, it has become MarketWeekend! LOL But, I am happy to have so many people participate in it, so I have no complaints!
Tell me it isn't so!! This is a stretch market? :) As if none of us have ever done that one before! Well, I am pretty sure we can fit it in the category somewhere, right? I hope you are having a cooler weekend than I am right now! It is hot and sticky, that is what's on the menu for our weather!
#MarketFriday loves you!

What a fun time! It would be near impossible to not buy nearly all of them. I mean each one is just so cute in its own way! The whole event seems to have such a fun vibe, I just have to put it on my bucket list! Great post!
It really was a fun time!!! Oh, I bid, shamefully!!! I couldn't help it!!! I wanted that little filly who had a heart on her forehead! Who wouldn't? Wasn't she adorable!? I just know that Henry would have loved her too! The whole event has a wonderfully caring and loving vibe.
I have been coming here for over a decade, no matter where I lived on this ole globe. The only thing that would make me sad is if it gets too big, the tendency is for commercialism to move in to make a buck. Isn't that the ruination of America?
Put in on the Bucket list and go there when you can! You won't regret it!
Thank you so much and I hope you are having a great day!!
#MarketFriday loves you!

Aww, how cute and adorable! I’ve had several pets with hearts on them. One dog with a heart on the side when it was a puppy. It grew out of it but it was almost the perfect shape for quite some time. I’ve had had and seen a number of cats with heart shape on their forehead.
Have a great weekend!
It really is isn't it? I have had one cat with a hard on it but that would be the only one. I always thought it was so very special and even in nature, with rocks and other different formations of hearts, they really turn my head. I know it's silly, but it just really does. I was wondering if it would grow out of it and your answer pretty much seals that up. Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't. I sure would have liked to have gotten the one with the heart on the forehead. Now, I will be finding myself looking for her when I'm on Chincoteague Island. Stay tuned and I'll let you know if I ever see her!
Thank you for stopping by market Friday and say hello, leaving your kind comments behind. As always I wish you a most wonderful day!
#MarketFriday loves you!

What a little cutie pie, I guess I would have left crying as I have a soft spot for animals. It was nice to read your blog.
Here's my entry, a little bit late but here I am :)))

They were quite a few ponies to go around I want to say that there were 57 or 63 that auctioned off to good homes. Everybody there is a huge fan of the Chincoteague Pony and you always consider yourself lucky if you get one. We were lucky and on a few years back and he's a beautiful boy and we love him. I'm not sad that I didn't get one because I think that everybody should have at least one. It's a wonderful event that they hold and I can assure you that the only tears that are shed are tears of joy. Thank you so much for stopping by and for dropping your link! It is so fun to see what you come up with every week and you never disappoint oh, so I thank you for that and now I got to go read about that weed!
#MarketFriday loves you

OMG PONIESSSSS 💜💜💜💜💜 They are so fekking cute man! Oh my word. And gosh, $3600! I heard the bid in the video. I never actually thought about what ponies cost ... They are truly precious x
I went to the market too! - 🌟 MARKET FRIDAY - THE MILNERTON MARKET 🌟 by @princessmewmew xxx
I wonder who buys second hand false teeth.
I know!!! Right??? These Chincoteague Ponies are so freaking adorable, I love them!! And they are such smart animals and quick studies. Mine was under saddle the first time one was put on him! Hello? That happens never!
He learned to jump in a field with nobody on his back, he just started jumping. OMG! Blew my mind. You need to go back and listen to that video, I thought that one went for $7,000 -so I went back and you were right, the first one was $3600 and the second one was $7,000
There were some that went for $21,000 and $20,000 but most were about $3700 to $4700
But, they are truly precious! I can say that most of the ones that cost a lot were buyback ponies and they are tax deductible. :) They go back into the herd.
You did a Market!!! Yay! I love it and thank you! I appreciate the support and as always thank you for dropping the link here! Have a great weekend!

There's like, twenty posts worth of amazeballsness in this one #MarketFriday! That heart pony it ADORBS, and I was tempted to wave some Steem at it myself. That's so cool that the ponies are cared for over the winter by the volunteer firefighters. And the look on the auction winner's happy face is ALL THE THINGS! Totally needed this lovely and delightful sort of post in my life right now - thanks for bringing us along and I call shotgun for the ride home! 😉 😂 😊 ❤️

Well, hop right in Traci girl! Make sure you buckle up good because we'll be zooming down Highway 13 to go to my Shore House. It's so much easier to have a house over here you're the ocean and be able to maintain a residence close to Washington DC. This way I can get to the ponies quick if I want. LOL I know that you understand that it's all about those ponies, right? Thank you so much for coming along for the ride it is such a fun event that the whole entire town gathers and is part of. Incidentally, the volunteer fire department owns the Chincoteague ponies and maintain and their health should any of them need it although technically they are wild and are free to roam. They're not fed or anything but occasionally if there is a harsh winter they'll throw a few bales of hay out. Read many bales. I'm going to thank you so much for stopping by and saying hello and dropping you're always wonderful words. You are, without a doubt one of the kindest sweetest gentlest most wonderful Souls that walk the earth and I want to thank you for being my friend. Love to you.
And as always, I wish you a most wonderful night.
