After two virtual years Pony Penning is back!

For the first time since 2019, the annual Chincoteague Pony Swim is set to go this morning.   

The ponies are expected to make the swim from Assateague Island between 8:30 and 10:30 a.m.   

WESR’s Big Al Hamilton will be there to cover the swim live with reports beginning at 8:10.   

If you are headed to Chincoteague, it is advised that you take the trolly rather than trying to park at Veterans Memorial Park. The shuttle is free and started running at 5:00 a.m. from the Chincoteague Center.

Stay tuned to WESR for updates throughout the morning.
