The Hoofprints Guide to the Wild Horses of Chincoteage National Wildlife Refuge

The world-famous Chincoteague Ponies, stars of the silver screen and main attractionat the annual Pony Penning, are essential to the local economy and local identity. But they run free only on the neighboring island of Assateague under thewatch of an ambivalent federal agency, and they bear little resemblance to their colonial forbears. What does the future hold for them?Bonnie U. Gruenberg has studied, photographed, and written about wild horses for more than 20 years. Distilled from her encyclopedic Wild Horse Dilemma (Quagga Press, 2015), each Hoofprints Guide offers detailed information about thehistory, environment, behavior, and prospects of one Atlantic Coast herd in a convenient form with bonus photographs.Praise for The Wild Horse Dilemma: "The best work ever written about East Coast wild horses (or wild horses period!)."--Karen McCalpin, Executive Director, Corolla Wild Horse Fund"This is is an in-depth read not to be missed by serious wild horse enthusiasts. Whilethe collection of archival photos is a treat, Gruenberg's own photos are second tonone." --Victoria Tollman, Executive Director, Equus Survival Trust
