Texas Not Alone In Claim of Hardy Mustang

years about the wild horses of our

once fairly over-run with them.

it was not until a careful study
was made that the writer learned,
to his surprise that the “Marsh

North Carolina coast. The fact |
is there are more of them there
than on the Virginia islands but
the Virginia animals seem always
to have obtained by far the most
publicity.
Road to Chincoteague
The road down the eastern shore
to Chincoteague passes through one
of the most historic, picturesque
parts of Colonial America. An
early record of settlement on this
island is a letter dated in 1659 in
which mention is made of outrag-
es committed on settlers on "Chin-
ertea gue” by the Accomac Indians
a branch of the Great Powhattan!
Confederacy. The U. S. Census
of 1840 credits the islands with 500
people, most of them Quakers, 1
The whole history of this East-
ern Shore is closely tied with co-
lomal and revolutionary days, one
of the many little towns passed
through ha» its own interesting lo-
cal history. All are full of old
colonial homes and buildings, pic-
turesque to a degree.
It is essentially a farming land.
The soil is a light sandy loam and
the whole region is one lovely,
well tilled, prosperous looking
truck garden. Also these farmers

Crossed With Shetlands
The ponies were of every possi-
ble color. Some years ago one or
two of the large owners imported
several Shetland stallions with a
view of improving their herds. The -___... Javugit

that as it mav. it was easy enough
to pick out the two type’s. The
Shetlands were shaggy, pot bel-
lied. with large hoofs and heavy
legs. They had much longer
heads than the rest and carried
long manes and tails. The origi-
nal stock on the other hand was
entirely different. Their average
height was between 12 and 14
hands—50 or 60 inches. Small,
well set ears, large intelligent eyes
with a wide-awake up-and-doing
expression on their faces. Legs,
small, free from hair on the fet-
locks; small, well-shaped feet-
which is surely singular consider-
ing that they run the year 'round
on sand—and thin manes and tails.
It is a pity they brought into these
herds this cold blood of the Shet-
lands. The original types were
mostly bays, blacks and whites.
Many were "pintos," or "paints,"
calico horses with white spots and
white streaks on their bodies. Of-
ten a coal black has a white mane
and tail with queer white streaks
across its withers. Those with
"Sheltie" blood showed these
marks but generally their color was
yellow or brown. Bizarre color-
ed ponies like those, of course, have
the readiest sale either for chil-
dren, movie or circus purposes.
All were rather easily handled.
They fought for a few minutes
when the rope was thrown ’round
their necks, but soon gave up and
let themselves be led off when a
sale was made. Buyers took most-
ly young colts and yearlings. This
was because animals of this size
were more easily taken away in
autos and trucks. Sales of older
ponies were made in lots to some
buyer who intended to shape them
up for sale elsewhere. Most of
the sales were for children’s pets.
The small colts were caught and
"hog tied'’ and dumped uncere-
moniously into the rear end of au-
tomobiles where after some strug-
gling and considerable whinnying pu.u anu sapae, rexans
to absent mothers who raced mad- nopoly of that business
ly through the herds seeking their
infants; they quieted down and
rode off comfortably to their new
homes. The older ones were load-
ed by small portable chutes and
were whirled across the long cause-
way bound for new adventures.
Small colts sold for from $15 to
$25 each. The older ones were $40
and upwards according to their
marking and color.
Where Did They Come From
I When one asks as to the origin
of these marsh ponies you get
practically the same store This
runs back to a tradition handed
down by Indians and early writers.
This is to the general effect that
about the year 1540 a Spanish ship
carrying colonists and their fam-
ilies to the new world, was wreck-
ed along the coast. This vessel
carried a number of horses claimed
to be of Moorish or Arabian blood,
also some cattle and sheep. The
horses and cattle swam safely to
shore. The sheep and humans
seem to have been lost, at least we
have no record of them. The cat
tie apparently soon dropped out of
the picture and little or nothing is
known as to their fate. My guess
is that the Indians lived on them
as long as the supply held out. The
horses, however, settled down and
made themselves at home. The only
forage was the coarse salt grass.
. arsh Grass' they call it down
tl e Fresh water was and still
is scarce. At times the little fel-
lows did just as their far western
cousins do, "dug” for water by
pawing holes in the sand close to
the beach into which a small brack-
ish water trickled to serve their
thirst, water that civilized horses
would almost die of thirst before
drinking it. Today, in exactly the
same manner our western wild
horses dig for a drink close to the
' Rn seme dried up water course. '
W inters along the Atlantic coast five
are cold and stormy. Shelter on the
islands is not plentiful. There are
a few pines and dwarf cedars on
some parts of the islands, but for
the most part they are open sandy
wastes. All the feed the ponies
ever get is produced by a none too
generous Mother Nature. No
wonder the little fellows are tough
and wiry. They are the result of
two centuries or more of devel-
opment under these trying condi-
tions, Nothing tougher or more
hardy can be imagined.
This popular tradition as to their
origin stands close investigation,
however. Few such traditions
will. In the first place these two
groups of islands— those on the
us. In 1638 the Swedes and Finns
The planted colonies on the Delaware
River and bay. They brought
plenty of horses with them for
horses were an absolute necessity
for farming as well as getting
about the country.
There is plenty of documentary
evidence to prove that they gen-
erally were small light-boned ani-
mals. The records tell of the
many pacing horses owned by the
Swedes. These were in great
demand as saddlers by the Vir-
ginia colonists and every history
■ those days speaks of the pacer’s
and their easy gait. All these
horses ran loose the year round in
the woods and open prairies just
as our western horses have for
many years, they get no other food
than that they pick up for them-
selves. For years 8 large trade
in these horses was carried on be-
tween Virginia and the colonies
along the Delaware and up the
way. Eventually Virginia had so
many horses that the Colonial Leg.
islature passed laws stopping fur-
ther importation from other parts
as a. matter of protection to the
V 11 ginia farmers. It was not so
long until the colonies on both sides
the C hesapeake Bay were over-
run with herds of wild horses. In
Virginia passed a law which
limited the number of unbranded
wild horses running at large into
the colony of horses from else-
where.
Beverly in his “History of Vir-
ginia, 1703-04," alludes to these
horses as follows:
"There is another kind of sport
which the young people of the col-
ony indulge in and that is the
hunting of wild horses. You must
know that they have many horses
foaled in the woods . . . are as shy
as any savage creatures. Those
having no mark upon them belong
to him who first takes them ”
These were Virginia “Mustangs,”
pure and simple, Texans had no mo-
| All these being well substantiat-
ed, historical facts, it is fair to
assume that the romantic stories
about ship-wrecked Spanish ships
must be discarded or at least se-
verely discounted.
The origin of these Marsh ponies
must be ascribed to perfectly na-
tural causes. Surely their struggle
with their bleak, inhospitable habi-
| tat, their survival against such
odds is a romantic enough story in
itself. That they carry in their
veins today the blood of the very
best of Moorish, Barb or Arabian
horses can hardly be questioned.
The only cold blooded cross they
seem to have picked up in all
these years is the Shetland-and
more the pity. That, however, has
come in comparatively recent years.
8 too bad that some public spir-
ited person does not gather up a
small herd of these originals and
place them where they can breed
and maintain their original strain
clear and undefiled. Such an ex-
periment would be worth while.
A year ago the writer saw in Pal-
estine and Arabia, many pony
horses ridden by the Bedouins and
Palestine Mounted Police that in
size, carriage, color and general
conformation could be duplicated
without any trouble at all from the
herds we saw at Chincoteague,
Virginia, in 1932.
Herd Laws Passed
An old resident of the village
talking of the past history of the
ponies said that originally all the
ponies around Chincoteague and
Assateague ran wild and free over
the sandy islands. Every one own-
ed a few. The brands were re-
corded officially in all the colon-
ies just as they are at present in.
the west. Virginia and North Car-
olina official brand records are
still in existence and run back as
far as 1735 or 40. About twenty-
years ago when the little fish-
ing village of Chincoteague began |
to expand and take on new airs, j
the residents often found in the
early morning a small band of
these ponies grazing contentedly
on their front lawns or nibbling j
at their flowers and hedges. Na-,
turally they objected to the pro-
cess. So the local cit- fathers pass-
ed a law which forbade the run-I
ning at large in the city limits of
all such animals.
However, the ponies seemed not
to have read of the law and con- |
tinned their raids on the lawns and
flower beds. The marshal would im-
pound a bunch but when nobody
claimed them, they soon ate their
heads off and he glady swam them ,
