A great book filled with heart warming stories!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Chincoteague Pony Tales (Paperback)
I have been going to Chincoteague all my life, and this book really captures the memories I have. Mr. Pleasant's does a wonderful job re-telling the tales that he has encountered during all his years auctioneering for the event. After you read this book, you'll want to pack your bags and go to Chincoteague to experience it for yourself!

This review is from: Chincoteague Pony Tales (Paperback)
I truly enjoyed reading Chincoteague Pony Tales by Bernie Pleasants. It was a quick read - I couldn't put it down. I've been to the Pony Swim before but after reading this book I made it a point to go to my first Chincoteague Pony Auction and it was as good as the book! Don't miss either one!
