The Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Company will donate the proceeds from a Buy-Back filly to the museum’s effort to purchase the ranch, according to an announcement by Sport Horse Auctions, coordinator of the auction that follows the annual swim.
Bidding starts today and runs through June 14.
Buy-Back foals are usually returned to the Virginia side of Assateague Island after the event in late July, but this auction may be occurring now because the museum is in contract with a closing date of June 30.
