Two herds of wild horses make their home on Assateague Island, separated by a fence at the Maryland-Virginia line. The Virginia herd is owned by the Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Company and thus named Chincoteague Ponies.

These hardy equines adapted to survive on the marsh grasses of their island habitat, and needed resilience to endure harsh weather conditions. They have stocky builds with strong legs and hooves. These ponies also grow thick winter coats and bushy manes and tails. While head shape can vary based on ancestry, most Chincoteague ponies have large, well-spaced eyes. Traditional conformation traits include short necks, prominent withers, sloped croups, and middle to low-set tails.
