The Chincoteague Pony Swim, now in its 99th year, owes much of its success to the tireless dedication and expertise of the Saltwater Cowboys, the local volunteer firefighters whose efforts not only support the event and horses year-round but also benefit the fire department and local economy.
The Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Company, formed after devastating island fires in the 1920s, now plays a vital role in the annual Chincoteague Pony Swim, showcasing a century-long dedication to community service and tradition.
