Our weekly shows have officially come to a close for the 2026 season!

It has been a pleasure watching this team grow, learn and work together throughout the season. Their creativity and enthusiasm came together to produce some incredible shows that kept our audiences engaged and entertained.

We also want to recognize every team member who contributed throughout the 2026 show season, including those who may not be pictured. Each of you played an important part in making these shows possible and learning new ways to engage the visitor’s enthusiasm and we sincerely appreciate all you brought to CPC.

And let’s not forget our growing five month old Badger, who may have stolen the show most days and certainly stole the hearts of many of our guests!

Thank you to everyone who joined us and supported our weekly shows throughout the season. What a wonderful way to close out this year’s show schedule, sitting on top of a wrapped hay bale!

2026 Summer of Flexibility and Gratitude

These pictures tell much of the story of our summer at the Chincoteague Pony Centre.

From cooling stations and closely monitoring our animals to moving experiences indoors and continually adjusting schedules, the heat, humidity and storms have kept our team adapting throughout the season.

As we head into the final weekend of August, our greatest message is simply Thank You.

To our team, Thank You for your continued dedication, flexibility and commitment to the animals in our care.

To our guests, Thank You for your patience, understanding and willingness to adjust alongside us when changing weather conditions affected some of our daily operations.

Through every weather-related decision, the well-being of our animals, team and visitors has remained our highest priority. Because of everyone’s cooperation, many special moments and lasting memories we hope were
still made and we look forward to welcoming more visitors and creating new memories as we move into September.

We truly appreciate you!

CPC Fun Fact

Before Majestic Island Princess and Tribble’s Island Splendor became part of our programs here at CPC, they had the opportunity to represent the Chincoteague Pony through Kirsten W Moore at Frontier Town, now Sun Outdoors in Berlin, Maryland, in 2022.

At CPC and through Willow Hill Farms, we believe in building connections that create the right opportunities for the ponies, the businesses involved and greater recognition of the Chincoteague Pony. What better place to share this beloved breed than on the Maryland side of the Eastern Shore.

Be sure to check out the shows presented by John and Kirsten Moore at Sun Outdoors Frontier Town:

Celebrating National Dog Day: Meet Our Pony Guardian

This is Badger, the five month old Great Pyrenees pup many of you have met here at CPC.

If only we could capture every moment he spends greeting the customers who walk through our doors. They adore him and he certainly adores them right back.

Here are a few of Badger’s adventures, including some behind the scenes moments with his pony friends. Whether he is welcoming visitors, checking on the ponies or cooling off wherever he finds water, Badger has happily settled into his role as CPC’s very own Pony Guardian.

If you visited us this summer, did you get to meet Badger?

You Just Never Know Who Will Walk Through Our Doors
At CPC, there is always an interesting story unfolding whether it is something happening here or someone walking through our doors.

Yesterday, the store was filled with customers when one couple came to the register with their items. In our normal fashion, I asked, “Hi, how are you? Where are y’all visiting from?”

“Nashville, Tennessee,” they replied.

Only about ten minutes earlier, I had heard the heartbreaking news that Miss Dolly Parton had passed away at the age of 80. I asked, “Oh my, did you just hear about Dolly Parton? I only heard about it ten minutes ago.”

They had not heard and were completely shocked. The lady immediately looked at her phone and realized she had received the same breaking news alert about minutes earlier but had missed it until I said something.

We have welcomed people from all across the country this season, but I don’t believe we have had anyone from Nashville until that very moment.

Sometimes the timing of people, places and conversations makes you stop and take notice. You just never know who will walk through the doors of CPC or what unexpected moment will become part of the day’s story.

Rest easy, Miss Dolly Parton. Your music, kindness and unmistakable light traveled far beyond the hills of Tennessee and into the hearts of generations. Your voice may now be still, but your songs and the love you shared through them will live on. As your own unforgettable words remind us, “I Will Always Love You.

Pony Pathways Beyond the Fence
During the spring and summer, Pony Pathways brought learning to life at CPC through reading, history, hands-on horsemanship, demonstrations, and activities in the arena.

After welcoming so many homeschool families over the past several days, we would love to bring it back and expand it beyond the fence.

Programs could be geared toward an individual learning day, weekly participation, or a complete six-week session. We would like to include:

* Chincoteague Pony history and island heritage
* Hands-on horsemanship and pony care
* Monthly book-club readings and discussions
* A homeschool pen-pal group
* Creative writing, journaling, art, and research
* Public speaking and confidence building
* Demonstrations and real-life learning experiences

As a seasoned homeschool mom of five who graduated our youngest this past June, talking with these families has been a breath of fresh air and a bittersweet reminder of how meaningful those years were.

Would your homeschool family be interested in an individual day, weekly program, or six-week session?
