Welcome to The Colorful Chincoteague! The Colorful Chincoteague documents and researches the colors found in the Chincoteague Pony, past and present. The colors and patterns that have been known to exist in Chincoteague Pony breed had not been truly documented. Beginning in 2007, The Colorful Chincoteague has been working to do so. Chincoteague color research is ongoing, as is equine color genetics in general, so this site is ever changing.
Information on colors and photos of colors that currently occur in Chincoteague Ponies are on each individual page. The names of most pictured ponies can be clicked on for their pedigree, age, offspring, or more information which is located in The Chincoteague Pony Pedigree Database.
The Colorful Chincoteague is also working on documenting the breeds that have been crossed into the Chincoteague Pony breed population. Through the breed's long history outcrossing has made the Chincoteague Pony more colorful. Outcross information can be found under Outcross History.
I'm always interested in pictures and information past and present. If you've color tested your pony I'd love to know the results! If you have anything to contribute please contact me. Questions and other inquiries are always welcome. Many thanks to all of those who have contributed pictures and information!
I published The Colorful Chincoteague: Chincoteague Pony Colors and Patterns in 2020. Signed copies are available in my online shop. The gift shop in the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge visitor's center stocks my book. It's also available from Amazon in paperback print on demand and on Kindle. 2024 is the last year of publication.
