No way that is so awesome! We went to Chincoteague twice a few years ago and I loved it! We never went during the roundup as it wasn't a convenient time and we don't care for crowds. I really wish I could go and see it with Tommie being there!
I walked out on the nature trails on Assateague on the Virginia side both times around the first of July. The foals are adorable. You can take the same tour on the bus but you can't get out of the bus, and you are not allowed to take vehicles back in there. I took some of the most memorable pictures out there all alone (couldn't convince my wife and daughter walking for miles starting in the EARLY morning was fun).
I hope you get some awesome pictures and maybe some video you can share with us. Man I _really_ wish I could go!
If you have never seen the pony swim, it is an awesome event. I'm sure Tommie will make it even better.
