Misty of Chincoteague is a classic children's book written by Marguerite Henry about Pony Penning. Once a year (the last Wednesday in July), "salt water cowboys" swim the ponies across the Assateague Channel to Chincoteague for a fair and pony auction on Wednesday and Thursday. If you are up for an adventure that would most certainly be one!
From May 17th to October 11 (make sure to check the website in case any of this changes), take a ride on the Assateague Explorer to see the wild ponies in their natural habitat.
