p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Outer Banks of North Carolina - Wild Mustangs | |
Last week, I was able to spend a day on the islands of the Outer Banks off the coast of North Carolina. Corolla Beach on Currituck Island is home to several wild mustangs. These horses are the remnants of a herd that was brought over by the Spanish in the 1500's. Once numbering in the thousands, I think there are about 120 left. In order to find the horses, you must have a 4wd drive vehicle and actually drive out onto the beach. This is my 3rd time to visit. The first time, I just found a few horses grazing and walking along the surf. The second time, I didn't see any at all. This time, I think I saw a total of 20-25 horses. The thing that made it so cool this time is that it's mating season, and the stallions were duking it out for the mares! Very, very cool experience.
WHERE'S MY COFFEE?!?!?
