Pony Drill Team Needs Money, Will Travel MANHEIM (Lancaster Co.) The Chin coteaguc Pony Drill Team, the only one of its land in the world, has been invited to perform at Equitana USA, in Louisville, Kentucky, in June of 1998. The drill team, consisting of eight youth between 12 and 20 years of age, each riding a Chincoteague pony in precision formations, set to music, had its premiere performance last year, and was well received by its audi ences. To many people, it is their first experi ence seeing Chincoteague ponies away from the island, full grown and saddle broke, and it is a joy to see the ponies in acdod. “It will cost the team close to $B,OOO to take the eight ponies down to Kentucky and perform there,” organizer and team coach Kandy Allen noted. “Right now our focus is two fold. First we want to be able to put on the best possible show we can. Two, we have to raise the funds to get there.” Equitana USA, the World’s Fair of Eques trian Sports will be held at the Kentucky Fair And Expo Center, Louisville, Kentucky. Last year about 50,000 people from 13 countries attended. This is the first time that the Chin coteague pony will be represented at the Fair. The Allens are owners of Misty n, grand daughter of Misty, and several other des cendents of Misty of Chincoteague, the pony make famous by the book by author Mar guerite Henry. Several Misty ponies are used in the drill team.
