The Pony Swim puzzle by artist Kevin McBride celebrates the wild ponies of the Atlantic coast. In short, this 550-piece jigsaw puzzle is a fun tribute to a beloved tradition.
About the Artwork
Wild ponies live on Chincoteague and Assateague Islands in Virginia and Maryland, as well as on the Outer Banks of North Carolina.
In addition, Kevin McBride captures the ponies splashing through the water. As a result, the scene is full of energy and movement.
Every pony has its own markings, so each one is fun to build.
Each summer, the famous pony swim at Chincoteague draws crowds who come to watch the ponies cross the channel. Because of that tradition, the ponies have become a beloved symbol of the region. This puzzle captures that same excitement and fun.
Where to Start
Start with the border, then build the ponies, using their markings as a guide, since it stands out right away. Next, work on the splashing water around them. After that, piece together the shoreline and marsh. Finally, fill in the sky, sorting those pieces by shade.
