pony week day 6 - the swim

We weren't sure we'd make to see the swim this morning since it could have been as early as 7am, but we caught a bus at 7:30am and arrived at the park just as the flare was shot to start the swim.












See the ponies that the man in front of me is pointing to? Neither did we. They were on the other side of all those boats and we could see a row of cowboy hats moving ant-like off in the distance, but couldnt really tell when they were in the water. The flesh blob in the picture is CHloe's knee as she was sitting on my shoulders to "see" over the crowd.









AFter the swim the ponies are rested for 45 minutes, then they are herded down the street to the carnival grounds where the auction will be held tomorrow. We were able to walk over to the road in time to get a fairly decent view.
