Saltwater Cowboy
This is the wait....while the ponies are herded together on Assateague Island and slack tide is coming.
An 84 year old Saltwater Cowboy
This cowboy has seen this many times. At age 84 he's been a part of the roundup for decades.
Slack tide
Conditions are right for the swim, and the ponies are driven into the bay.
Spectators
