All About Horses...
"I Sea
Horses" is a children's story about a herd of wild horses that chooses
a life and destiny of living in the sea as seahorses. Their fate and destiny
is determined by their brave stallion.
The herd
is led by Pegasus, a beautiful white stallion that has a premonition that
the wild herd's legacy of running freely on the land is about to end in
the future. The buffalo and wild horses are facing the end of their era
and they must find a new place to live. Pegasus has a dream that he has
a choice of the sea or the sky. He chooses to take his herd to find a
new life in the sea and the herd transforms from earthy colored four legged
wild horses to a magical tropical hue of blue, green and pink sea horses.
Fearing to
enter the cold dark water, the herd is comforted by Marina, a star that
has fallen to the sea and has become the light of the ocean as a starfish.
Her journey to find her reflection on the ocean below created a path to
the ocean floor, where the moon and the comets could follow. Her love
of the ocean and her friendship with the wild horses creates a permanent
bond, so the seahorses carry the starfish to light their way in the dark.
The story
of light, magic and wild horses transforming into sea horses is a story
for all ages and will be passed on for generations to come.

CHINCOTEAGUE
- The 79th annual Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Co. Pony Swim will
be held today, beginning around noon, and organizers are hoping
the recent rainy weather doesn't dampen proceedings.
Traditionally, the Chincoteague ponies swim at slack tide, the time
between the lowest and highest tide when there is no current -
roughly noon, officials said.
