With all facilities closed to the public and all events for the time being cancelled, we continue to find new ways to endure in these difficult times.
We are very lucky to have been given a wonderful song. Castaño is a song that captures the spirit and the significance of the Corolla wild horses. We feel this song will give hope and used as the basis of our fundraiser, will help us meet our goals.
The song, video and lyrics are available as a download for $5. Supporters will be given an opportunity to donate more. Your donation will help us continue our crucial work. Thank you for your support!

Heartfelt thank yous to our supporters and our partners on the progress of the "Castano Song Fall Fundraiser." Working together with Dixie 105.7 - Outer Banks, NC, 96.7 The Coast, and Wild Horse Adventure Tours, we have raised $9,847 of our $20,000 goal!
Our followers are loving this song and video. Head to www.corollawildhorses.com/shop/castano-fundraiser/ to download your copy for just $5 and/or to make a donation of any size to help us reach our goal.
Castano is a great song, hope one day soon to visit the OBX and see the horses in person
Beautiful song! Love the Wild Horses! What a wonderful way to support them! ❤️🐴❤️🐴❤️
A lovely video.
October 26 is #NationalMuleDay! Not that we need an excuse to celebrate our favorite long-eared, half-mustang Raymond.
Raymond was born on the beach more than 20 years ago, the offspring of a wild Banker mare and a domestic donkey owned by a local farmer. We've analyzed Raymond's DNA and believe it or not he has just as much Spanish blood as many of the horses!
However, since Raymond is not a mustang his body has not inherited the years and years of adaptations that help the horses survive in the wild. He suffers from two serious conditions - navicular disease and laminitis, that required rescue and removal to our rehab farm in the fall of 2019. Since coming to the farm, Raymond has received the care he needs to stay comfortable and has been flourishing, both physically and emotionally.
Help us continue this important work by becoming a member, making a one-time donation, supporting one of the rescue horses, or simply sharing our posts and helping to spread the word! Thank you!
➡️ www.corollawildhorses.com/support-corolla-wild-horse-fund/
Raymond is beautiful. So thankful for all the help he receives to make him comfortable and healthy! Thank you so much again to everyone that helps Raymond & the beautiful wild horses! ❤️🐴❤️🐴❤️🐴
Live this incredible intellectual animals.
We were just in Corolla & took a wild horse tour last week. We saw so many horses & one of this year's foals. It was Aly. There were horses everywhere on the dune side. Thank you for everything you do for these horses. They all looked so healthy.
Thank you Corolla Wild Horse Fun for all you do! And a special shout out to Raymond! I just love his face!
He looks fantastic
He looks great
Back in 2011 we took one of those Jeep excursions in the wild horse area and we got stuck behind Raymond. The driver told us all about him and I love seeing your updates!
I love mules!
He looks different now. Then on beach. He’s coat is darker

Welcome to our Fall Fundraiser. As many of you know, our facilities remain closed to the public, and we could not hold events over the summer. Like many non-profits, financially, it's been a challenge, but we continue to find new ways to endure these difficult times.
We are fortunate to have been given a wonderful song by singer-songwriter Janet Martin, written for the CWHF. "Castaño" captures the spirit and the significance of the Corolla wild horses perfectly. We feel this amazing song and video gives hope to our cause and is the basis of our fall fundraiser.
We are most grateful to our community partners, Dixie 105.7 - Outer Banks, NC and 96.7 The Coast, and Wild Horse Adventure Tours, for their support and involvement with this project. Working together to reach the public and our loyal supporters, we hope to meet our goal of $20,000.
The song, video, and lyrics are available as a download for $5 on the CWHF website: www.corollawildhorses.com/shop/castano-fundraiser/ Your donation will help us continue our crucial work.
Give a listen here, and thank you for your support!
I love this picture!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Love it! ❤️🐴❤️🐴

This morning it was sunny and 80 degrees, and by lunchtime it was a rainy, blustery 65. 🧣🍂 Looks like we’re going to have pretty high tides through the weekend, so be careful if you’re driving on the beach!
Thank you for all you do Corolla Wild Horse fund! They are so healthy because of your watchful eye and care and asking those that do Traverse the beach by vehicle to be very careful and not disturb the Corolla horses.
Janice Loveday
I'll take your rainy and blustery 65* over our semi-rainy and blustery 45* with a frost advisory tonight. #puremichigan
Bless the horses and all of you
Here at Nags Head. Loved the beautiful horses. Hope people respect them.
It's a King tide! One of the highest tides of the year-today and tomorrow.
I would trade you. -5 here in delta junction, alaska
Looks exactly like a horse born on teal trail in early 90’s I named his Blackstar for white patch in forehead 😁😁😁😎 wow back down memory lane Awesome 😎
Hope everyone stays safe! ❤️🐴❤️
They claimed it was gonna be rainy all day and cooling off as the day progressed here in Fayetteville....but that was not the case lol I'm ready for those cool fall days an nights
Beautiful! Going to be chilly in VA, frost warnings. Enjoy your 65* while you have them!
Just beautiful!! Thank you for sharing!!❤️❤️

Beautiful pictures
Beautiful❣️ Ty for all you do for those precious horses! ❤️🐎🙏🏼🌻
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️,coming in on sat afternoon
Can y’all please check your messenger? Thanks! 🐴
Supposed to have an overnight low of 29° in northcentral PA tonight! Brrrrr
We are cold and rainy here in NY too. Just put the heat on. I want 65 degrees too.
We’ve had a couple close calls in the past weeks with fish hooks. Luckily we did not have to intervene and all the horses that had hooks tangled in their manes and in the hair of their lower legs are safe now. But please let this serve as a reminder to be cautious when fishing on the 4x4 beaches.
In the past we’ve had to remove horses for medical treatment when they’ve gotten tangled up in fishing line, or even eaten it. Pictured below is Felix, who was rescued as a foal after he was seen eating fishing line. He is fine now but it’s a shame he had to be removed from the wild for that reason. There are six young horses on the beach this fall and like babies of all species, they often put things in their mouths that don’t belong there.
Please help us keep the horses wild and free by cleaning up after yourself and making sure you aren’t leaving any fishing line or hooks behind. 🎣
Clean your mess of the beautiful beaches and keep these horses safe.
Its called being responsible 😡
Just common decency ❤️
What a beautiful photo and horse People just don’t care I love these horses so much
Oh my God, please save these beautiful creatures!!
So cute one I would love to see them but at a distance 💜
I saw a huge billboard saying please don't feed the wild horses, but it was as we were driving out from the OBX. Seems like it would work better if you could see it driving in to the OBX. Love the horses❤
He is so cute
This upsets me to hear this. So Thankful that no one was hurt. Thank you so much for always helping these beautiful wild horses! ❤️🐴❤️🐴
I wish people would just be considerate
♥️very precious animals!
So sad
A great remind to only leave footprints.
What is the matter with people you are a guest of these horses home, respect them and be careful ❤️🐴☮️
I agree with Karen but I have not had the opportunity yet to watch from a distance I just want to see it one time but there safely is more important
This makes me so angry that the people on their beach don’t dispose of their trash properly! I love these horses with all my heart . Why do people not have any common sense!!???
Please be careful everyone
This is such an important message to get out. We had a dog that swallowed a whole lot of fishing line by a river - we rushed to the vet with part of it hanging out of her mouth. The vet did a scope down her throat and x-rays and determined there wasn't a hook at the end and was able to pull the line out but it was scary as it came out wondering if a hook had been missed and would catch somewhere. There was no hook and the dog was fine. Everyone needs to be careful to leave nothing behind!
Some people are so careless
I’m starting to believe these beaches need to be off limits to ppl.
Unbelievable whenever I fish it’s to enjoy the natural surroundings not destroy them. Leave no human evidence when you go home
Sadly, I think Corolla is not a safe place for these horses to roam anymore. Too many dangers and sad to see so many get injured or killed.
It’s a shame you have to spell it out for people to clean up their crap
Pack out what you pack in!! Easy!
There are a lot of people that come there to fish... They just need to know how harmful that can be...
Smile! Amazon Smile, that is. 😁 Be sure to designate CWHF as your charity of choice if you’re doing some shopping during Prime Day.
✅ smile.amazon.com
Such an easy thing to do.
Always
Always!!😁😁
Done
That’s awesome news to hear! ❤️🐴❤️🐴❤️
Done
I just switched to CWHF 🥰

Will you be coming out with long sleeve designs? 😊
So awesome! ❤️🐴❤️
We received ours in the mail last Monday and they are wonderful! Hoping for long sleeves and hoodies as well! Thanks for sending them to us. We spoke to you while staying at the Inn.
GREAT shirts
Are these available in hoodies?
Amy Richmond
Will they be available in long sleeves or hoodies
The 2021 calendar is finally with the designer/printer! We do not have an exact date for when it will be available for purchase except to say...soon! We promise. 😉 In the meantime, we’ll post some of the finalist photos that didn’t make it in just because we only have 12 spots. It was very hard to narrow it down!
📸: Sharon Moore
Yes I want one when available ❤️
They are all lovely. Of course there should be a RAYMOND calendar. Just sayin.......
Ohhh I can't wait to order when they come in..I've been checking your site to see if it's been posted yet ❤🐴❤🐎❤

How much are your calendars?
I can’t wait to order mine !!
Uh oh ...... can I still order one?
Looking forward to the 2021 calendar. I left the office and started working from home in March due to COVID and didn’t bring my Corolla Wild Horse calendar home (thinking I would only be home for a few weeks😬...probably won’t be back in the office until 2021 so I only got to enjoy Jan, Feb and March pics🤪
Looking forward to it!🐴
I order one every year 😊
❤🐎
I would like to order one when available!!
Can't wait! <3 <3 <3
Every day we are reminded of how different 2020 is, in so many ways. It’s so busy here right now - not what we’re used to in October! But the horses have been a constant reminder (and comfort) that some things always stay the same. Winter is coming and now is the time to eat, eat, eat - just as it’s been for more than 500 years. The geese will fly south, the winds will shift, the red drum will run, and the horses will get fat and fuzzy. As it should be, right? 🍂🐴🌻
Wild and free in paradise!
I didn’t get to see the wild horses, on this trip.... 😕 do they hibernate?!
Thank you for everything that you do, was just there last week got to see some horses roaming the beach and some actions that will hopefully lead to a new baby next year lol
Indeed. We are up the beach n NRPO n merchants sure are enjoying this extended season ☺️ odd to see so many still on beaches this time of year! As always we so respect CWHF presence 24/7 ❤️
Amen
Just like me come winter: fat n fuzzy! 🤣😂 Thank you for all you guys do for the herd.
As it should be.
Most beautiful animal ever
I love the horses there and I Love Nags Head!!
Bless them. May they have a safe winter
Thank you for all you do and for sharing your knowledge and love for the horses! I look forward to your posts and the time I get to visit your little bit of heaven. ❤️❤️❤️ It is such a special place!!
Happy horses!
as it should be 🌻🧡🍁💦🌬🌬🌬 💕
Thank you for your caring for the herd.
Took this pic when in Corolla. ..Momma horse with baby napping on the beach. Love Corolla
I wanna be fat and fuzzy for winter too!
I know you hear it all the time but all of you are angels!! Thank you for the care you give and the sleepless nights you spend worrying about the horses,...and of course, Raymond!! Bless you!!
Nice to know some things remain the same in all this chaos.
While 2020 has been a very different year in so many ways one of the bright spots is that the one thing we can count on is that the beautiful horses of Corolla will be watched over and cared for during these uncertain times! Thank you to all of you at CWHF and all who assist you! ❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful pictures!!💕💕
Thank you for the reminder that because some things NEVER CHANGE they help to keep is sane ❣️‼️❣️
Right!❤
Beautiful pictures
Will be happy to have 2020 behind us as many others will too. What was the total count of foals born this year?? I lost count but it was exciting celebrating such great news amid so much bad news.
A quick update on Riptide - he is doing great! He was cleared to be bandage-free yesterday which is a huge milestone! He’s gaining weight and muscle, getting his feet trimmed regularly, meeting new friends now that he’s been vaccinated, and generally settling into life on the farm.
Thank you so much to everyone who has donated to help cover his vet bills and continuing care. We are so very grateful for your generosity. Today marks the 2 month anniversary of when we first discovered that Riptide was injured...what a journey it’s been! We couldn’t have done it without your support.
Here’s Riptide’s full story: www.facebook.com/corollawildhorses.org/posts/10158807903193330
Great news.
So happy for you Riptide!!
Thank you for all you have done for him and the entire herd 💜
Thank you for taking care of Riptide! He looks amazing! You all do a awesome job taking care of the herd. God Bless🧡🌻🍁🍂
Thank you so much for the great news!🥰
Bless
He needs to meet the fuzzy blue Riptide!
Thanks to you all 🥰

Looooooooove this photo! There is a link to RJ’s website in the post below where you can order your own copy. RJ is a big supporter of the horses and CWHF!
Acorn will be available for sponsorship soon, to help fund our DNA study. We’ve learned that he and Roamer were very closely related - probably brothers. He’s also closely related to Moxie, Buttercup, and Bella, who live at the rescue farm. We will find more connections as the study continues!wild without boundaries

Meet Acorn. He’s one of the wild stallions that calls the beaches of the #Outerbanks his home. I love learning the stories behind these beautiful creatures. When I asked the amazing Herd Manager, Meg, from the Corolla Wild Horse Fund about him she said that he got his name from the marking on his face— it is shaped like an oak leaf, hence his name is Acorn. Acorn has traveled quite far. One can find him on the beaches but he’s also sired at least one mare on Dews Island. He knows no boundaries. And we adore him for remaining #wildandfree.

Please help keep the wild horses wild by staying at least 50 feet back. As a friendly reminder, never touch, approach or feed the wild ones as this is against the law and harmful for their well being.

How cool is this? One of Mike’s pots made from native Currituck clay and our dear Captain’s hair will be on display at the International Museum of the Horse in Lexington, KY. A great honor for a special horse and a talented artist. Also very exciting to have Currituck and the Banker horses represented in the museum!
You can purchase your own pot from Mike: michaelmiddletonceramics.com
He is a big supporter of CWHF and donates part of the proceeds back to the horses. 🐎

Good morning! If you are planning on enjoying this beautiful fall day on the 4x4 beaches please stay at least 50ft from the horses and remember feeding is not only against the law, it can be deadly. We are seeing record numbers of visitors for this time of year and based on the calls and messages we’ve been getting this week, this reminder is much needed. Please follow the rules - for your safety and theirs! 🌤🍂🐴
Currituck County Wild Horse Ordinance: www.corollawildhorses.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/wild-horse-ordinance.pdf
Thank you and Good Morning to you also 👍
Beautiful pictures
👍👍👍👍👍
Beautiful place Beautiful horses
🙏🙏🙏
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Just leave the horses alone!!
People must just ignore all the signs placed out there. I do not understand why they would want to do something that could hurt the horses. Selfish. 😢
Sadly it may come to putting a guard shack at the entrance to the 4x4 and filling out entry forms of names and car descriptions along with License plate # and Drivers License #. It might be a pain but it may save the horses.🐎🐴🐎🐴🐎🐴🐎🐴🐎🐴
I hope ppl listen the heards seem to of lost a lot of young ones this year, hate to see anymore have to leave there home bc grown a** ppl can't be responsible adults
Thank you for your dedication to these beautiful horses! I'm curious though, how do you integrate them to domestic life when they have to be removed from the wild? Specifically, what do you feed them?
And the beat goes on. People, please respect the directive and stay away from the horses. Please.
It’s so obvious that the people have no RESPECT for the horses or their life (horse’s that is). All they care about is that dang picture! Fines and/or jail is what it will take for them to care.
In memory of Blackstar My pet Wild 🐎 Carova Village RIP forever
Hopefully I'll Be comming down there soon.
Need to get tougher with the stupid selfish tourists. There appear to be no consequences except to the horses.

MornN!
Love!
Thankyou for your vigilence and dedication . Bless you guys.
People please listen!!!!
Never stops does it??
Beautiful picture! Keep them safe!!❤️🐴❤️🐴
So beautiful
Thank you Joan for sending us this photo of a baby Amadeo on the beach with his family. Hard to believe he was ever this young and gangly - he looked a lot like Riptide does now! It will be framed and hung in the barn at the rescue farm to remind us of the deep, rich history of these horses and how lucky we are to be a part of their lives. 💜
Corolla Wild Horse Fund, you're very welcome! This was the first time I saw the horses on the beach many years ago. I cherish this photo and hope it makes you smile every time you see it! 💗
Great photo Joan Salopek. It seems like such a long time ago when they roamed Corolla.
Omg goose bumps. Miss Deo. Thank you Joan this is a piece of history
So handsome! And so loved! Thank you!!
Such a heartfelt gesture 💜 Thank you Joan for sharing such a wonderful photo
What a beautiful & thoughtful gift. Love the Wild Horses! ❤️🐴❤️🐴
Thank you for sharing this beautiful photo!❤️
Here’s a picture of this sweet baby taken from the back door of the house we stayed in (yes we kept 50 ft. Or more). It’s hard when we loose these majestic creatures.
Beautiful picture
Thank you, Joan. I love him so and miss him so much, such a gentle soul. ❤️
Why do people live so close where the horses roam?
Thank you so much Joan for sharing!! Amadeo was my sponsor horse, and I was so happy to have visited him at Christmastime. He was so handsome in his Santa hat. Although I only knew him for a short while, he will always be dear to my heart ❤️
When it comes to understanding wild horse behavior, step one is to forget just about everything you know about domestic horse behavior!
Barriers like fences and ropes are just challenges for the wild horses to get through, over, or under. They don’t see these things and think “oh, we aren’t supposed to go there.” They see the grass on the other side and think “how can we get over there?” Instinct and basic needs win every time!
That’s why it’s important to keep your 4x4 property as safe as possible for the wild horses. A single rope or strand of wire isn’t going to keep the horses out or away, and could actually be very dangerous. (This rope is safe - as you can see, these consciousness homeowners have put pool noodles on it to add visibility and cushion.)
Such an interesting observation. Domestic horses usually think wire=zap. These wild horses think wire=going through. Very cool, thanks
Know plenty of domestic horses who would do the same thing.
So glad to see that this home owner is keeping them safe. I’m just wondering though. I’ve seen cactus in some homes. Does that hurt the horses in anyway? Keep the Wild Horses Safe! ❤️🐴❤️🐴
Hay thats my house
Don't agree with the basic assumption--that the behavior of the wild horse is completely different than that of the domestic horse. From where do you think the behavior of domestic horse arises? Any domestic horse would walk under a strand of rope or otherwise avoid obstacles to obtain food, water, shelter, a mare in season, etc. The point is a safe environment.
Thanks for adding the pool noodles. Funny the horses just go under it ... like what 🤷♀️ ❤️thanks to everyone who cares for these beautiful horses 🐴
hope the wild horses are doing alright.
Maybe they're using the pool noodles as a massage. Never know what an animal is thing.❤
Well the secret is out ! Hopefully they are not putting themselves in harm’s way!
Smart about using noodle.
The key message here is the action of the owner to put the pool noodles around the rope. If they were running full speed, the might miss a rope or wire and injure themselves. Smart owner!
Smart horses, no silly yellow noodle is going to stop them walking up that hill!!! Cheers!
Such a simple yet excellent idea to keep folks out, yet still allowing the horses a safe way to get through.
The ropes are to keep the horse tours out, not the horses !
Lmao!!!!!! You guys try so hard to make the illusion of these horses to be wild. “Domestic” horses find anyway possible to get out of fences and gates. We used to have one that jumped a 5ft fence on a regular basis. This is one of the most reaching post yet for you to try to make these horses wild. 😂😂😂🤦🏻♂️
Please be be on the lookout for any thing affecting the horses. There is a virus in Hertford that is killing the horses in one of the stables! I hope they can get it under control! It is horrible our vets are doing everything they can!
They’re so gorgeous!! Life on the beach .. lucky them 👌🏻♥️💕🙏🏻😎
Easy peasy...just follow me..and they did ♡♡♡♡
👏👏👏thank you
Love it.
No worry, no hurry! 🐎
