Wild Ponies of Assateague

Maryland's Eastern Shore is beautiful. One of the most famous attractions is the wild ponies on the small Island of Assateague. Their origin is still a mystery but many speculate the ponies arrived when a Spanish galleon ship, with a cargo of horses, sank off the shores of Maryland.

Awww... it's so cute! Is it me or does it look pregnant?

Since this is a family friendly blog, I had to photoshop a certain anatomical part off of one of the ponies here...look how white the sand is...
