Wild Colt

Wild Colt Volume 1 is a children's book that introduces the life of a wild pony colt on Assateague Island. Written in gentle rhyming verse, the story follows the young horse as it navigates coastal wetlands and shares its habitat with turtles and deer. This nature focused narrative tracks the colt's growth through summer days spent running along the ocean and splashing at waterholes.

This animal themed picture book provides an age-appropriate look at the unique tradition of the Pony Penning and auction on Chincoteague Island. Combining science and nature, the text is paired with luminous oil paintings to educate young readers about wildlife. The volume includes educational resources, such as a wildlife identification guide and wetlands facts, making it a useful tool for classrooms and family reading.
