What an incredible week we had here on C***coteague Island! The South and North Herds of wild ponies were rounded up. The North herd took a sunrise walk down the beach to join the South herd and a dedicated team of veterinarians made sure they are all healthy. The Saltwater Cowboys and Cowgirls moved the herds safely from Assateague to C***coteague by swimming them across the channel. Then dreams came true for many people as they got to take home their own C***coteague Pony, before the herds were trailered or swam back to Assateague. It was a magical experience and we hope you will join us next year to see the wonder of the C***coteague Pony Swim Week!
