Registration Eligibility
All Chincoteague Ponies purchased directly from the Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Company (CVFC) are eligible for registration. There are ponies from the CVFC that are known to be half or part other breeds that were introduced to the CVFC’s herd. These ponies are eligible for Full-Blooded Chincoteague Pony registration.
NOTE: Buybacks and Half Chincoteague's born off the island of Assateague are not eligible for the Full Blooded Registration.
Ponies with one or both parents that are unable to be determined are eligible for registration. The pony must be proven to be a Chincoteague Pony through documentation such as:
Due to the main breeding herd being feral, lineage may need to be updated and/or changed with new research and DNA testing. If owners would like their ponies registration papers to reflect these changes, they must fill out a "Corrected Certificate Form". This form, the original certificate and the appropriate fee must be mailed to ICPAR for recording and to update the certificate. A new registration certificate will be issued to the recorded owner reflecting the changes. All changes must be approved by ICPAR, if you are unsure as to whether the change you want to request will be approved, please contact the registry before sending paperwork in. ICPAR reserves the right to change the information from existing registration papers if there is sufficient evidence to make the change.
The owner of the dam will be considered the breeder and owner of any foal born to that mare. Foals pre-sold in-utero, or sold as embryo transfers, will still be considered owned and bred by the owner of the dam.
The International Chincoteague Pony Association & Registry LLC (ICPAR) will only register ponies that are eligible. ICPAR may deny registration/certification or cancel registration/certification if there are reasonable grounds to believe that the pony does not meet the standards or requirements for registration, or that any information on the registration form is false or incorrect.
NOTE: Buybacks and Half Chincoteague's born off the island of Assateague are not eligible for the Full Blooded Registration.
Ponies with one or both parents that are unable to be determined are eligible for registration. The pony must be proven to be a Chincoteague Pony through documentation such as:
- Identified as having been bred by the CVFC by photos of the pony on Assateague or at Pony Penning or an auction receipt
- Registered with the Chincoteague Pony Association, Chincoteague Pony Registry, or National Chincoteague Pony Association
- Documentation that the pony was bred by or purchased from a known breeder
- Identified as a Chincoteague Pony through the Identification Program

We require 5 photos of your pony when you register: Front, rear, full face (move forelock out of the way so we can see compete facial markings), right side and left side. Please try your best to limit the things in the background and to get clear photos of all four legs and facial markings. Your pony's halter and lead rope may remain on them for photos.
If your pony has additional markings you would like noted (belly spots, etc) please send us additional photos of those markings if they are not visible in the required photos. |
