Nobody is sure how the ponies originated. Legend has it that Spanish galleons wrecked on the island and turned their ponies escaped or were turned loose. In fact, at least one Spanish galleon did wreck on Assateague Island. The La Galga was a Spanish warship that would have almost certainly carried horses. More on this legend is covered in the popular book, The Hidden Galleon. Chincoteague - Related Lenses
