No boat at Chincoteague, they swim to the island.

I've had ponies lick my face both places.

Where we go on the Outer Banks, NC each summer there is a herd of wild horses. They sell Jeep rides to tourists to go see the horses.

We set up our camp on the beach and sometimes the horses will come down and look over our stuff. Feeding or even approaching the horses is strictly forbidden, so the horses don't come looking for food.

But even though we can't approach them, they will approach us and take a look. It is a racist practice.

That's a coincidence, I've had ponies lick both my places.
