Thousands Head to Chincoteague for the Pony Swim, but Wednesday Isn’t the Best Day to Go
- Thousands of people gather early in the morning at the Chincoteague waterfront to watch the Pony Swim, some traveling from hundreds of miles away to secure good viewing spots.
- Wild ponies enter the Assateague Channel led by the Saltwater Cowboys, but many viewers without waterfront spots see the ponies only as distant moving specks,.
- Viewing the ponies can be difficult from certain spots because they appear about seven or eight football fields away, although a large video screen in town provides close-up coverage,.
- On Friday, the Saltwater Cowboys return the remaining ponies to Assateague Island, which offers fewer crowds and a closer viewing experience compared to Wednesday's swim.
