The Chincoteague wild ponies have made their annual swim across the Assateague Channel in Virginia for the 100th time.
钦科蒂格野马第100次完成一年一度横渡弗吉尼亚州阿萨蒂格海峡的壮举。
The tradition began in 1925 and sees"Saltwater Cowboys" on horseback round up the ponies, who then swim the channel and come ashore on the east side of Chincoteague Island.
这项始于1925年的传统活动中，"咸水牛仔"们骑马聚集马群，随后马儿们游过海峡在钦科蒂格岛东岸登陆。
The event hosted by the Chincoteague Fire Department, which manages the ponies, includes an auction of some of the foals.
由管理马群的钦科蒂格消防局主办的活动还包括部分小马驹的拍卖。
The money raised helps control the size of the herd to help maintain a healthy pony population on Assateague, where the ponies live most of the year.
拍卖所得用于控制马群规模，以维持阿萨蒂格岛（马群全年大部分时间的栖息地）上健康的野马数量。
