After the ponies are swam across the channel from Assateague Island to Chincoteague, the Saltwater Cowboys, herd the horses to the carnival grounds.

Each year, the wild ponies of Assateague Island are rounded up by the local fire department who take care of the herd year round. Known as "saltwater cowboys" the firemen swim the horses across the channel to Chincoteague where some of the foals are then auctioned to raise money to maintain the herd.
