Spring Round Up event

Spring Round Up

  • Date: 4/5/2024
  • Starts: 4:30PM

The Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Company holds its annual Spring Round Up to our famous wild ponies' health and to identify any new foals born since Pony Penning week. Buy Backs from last year's auction are also released back onto Assateague at this time to join the remainder of the herd.

The Spring Round Up schedule for 2024 is as follows:

South Herd: April 5th at 4:30 PM

North Herd: April 6th at 6:00 AM

The Friday Afternoon Round Up typically takes 1-2 hours, but the ponies remain in the South Pen overnight, making it a great opportunity to grab photos of your favorite ponies. The Saturday Morning Round Up for the Northern Herd typically takes 5-6 hours due to the number of ponies and amount of ground that has to be covered to round them up.
