Saturday, July 21, 2018 – Southern Herd Roundup
The weekend prior to Wednesday’s Pony Swim, “Saltwater Cowboys” on horseback will begin to round up the approximately 150 adult wild ponies that live on Assateague Island, along with the 60 to 70 foals that were born in the spring.
About 50 adult ponies and their foals live on the southern end of Assateague Island. The Saltwater Cowboys will begin rounding them up into the Southern Corral Saturday afternoon beginning at about 4:30 pm. The Southern Corral is located on Assateague, just off the road that leads to the beach, and is accessible to the public. The public can view the Ponies in the Southern Corral all day Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday.
