An estimated 150 ponies will swim during slack tide today which has been stated as being anytime between 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m.
The ponies will swim ashore to Chincoteague and after a 45 minute rest the Salt Water Cowboys will parade them down Main Street to the carnival grounds.
Don't forget to prepare for the weather and long wait. These things are important: bug repellant, snacks, water or some type of drink, sunscreen, appropriate clothing and old shoes or boots- in case you have to stand in the marsh and pack your patience! Also, a lawn chair might be nice.
Don't forget the Fireman's Carnival. You can veiw all the ponies from the days swim there.
The Pony Auction is tomorrow - Thursday- beginning at 8 a.m.
