Sports: Chincoteague, Wild Horse Round-Up. On Chincoteague Island, Virginia, the annual wild horse round-up. The quarry are the great herds of feral ponies descended from Spanish mustangs cast ashore in the 16th century, and the round-up is an exciting carnival of action and excitement. Herds of horses, including mothers with nursing babies. Sign for Chincoteague Island. Bronco busting - young men/boys ride bucking horses (briefly, before falling off). Crowds line the beach and watch from boats as the horses cross the water, perhaps swimming. Men in cowboy hats ride behind herd of horses down a road.
