It’s a story of perseverance. Not just by the horses, but also by the people who call this very special place their home.
Through devastating hurricanes, swarms of biting flies and mosquitos, and the constant pressure from developing the islands into prime beach vacation property, these horses, and the people they share the islands with have found a way to live together in a most uncommon accord. They have created an incredibly remarkable and uniquely wondrous place.
As with most organizations and particularly non-profits, the Corolla Wild Horse Fund continues to meet the financial challenges of the ongoing pandemic crisis. 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!

Thank you so much for having us! We can’t wait to visit again - we made some wonderful new friends today! 🥰
That's awsome! What a blessing for all
What a sweet boy. To go from a wild stallion to a gentle loving therapy horse. Amazing!
Simply wonderful, Meg and Peak- the healing energy of a horse. But not just any horse, a Banker, a survivor, a neighbor. ♥️
This is so wonderful ❤️ and heart warming 💕💗
The things you guys do never cease to amaze me! I absolutely love you all!
So awesome to see! So glad that Riptide made many people’s day brighter! Thank you so much to everyone involved to make this possible! ❤️🐴❤️🐴
Such a wonderful outreach. Awesome...
So so kind of you. Most of these seniors have never been around horses. They will tell everyone they see that they touched a horse. Bless you for bringing a little change in their routine today.
How wonderful the Riptide could visit!! ❤️ what animals can do!
I remember when he was born and how heartbreaking it was when he had to be removed from the herd. So glad he’s doing well at the farm and can bring joy to others!!💜💜
wonderful!! i would love to be able to do that too, what a huge blessing.
Love this!!!

How wonderful!

This is just wonderful!!
This is so awesome! 🐴❤️
In 2020 we embarked on an ambitious project to collect DNA samples from every Corolla horse so that we could create a family tree, identify genetic conditions, and better manage breeding for conservation, both in the wild and in captivity. Based on this research, in addition to anecdotal information archived by CWHF since the 1980s, we've been able to trace the Dews Island mares' lineage back to the 1970s, to the famous stallion Star. Ancestry is just one of the many things we can learn from DNA!
Your support is instrumental in providing us the resources we need to continue this work: www.corollawildhorses.com/support-corolla-wild-horse-fund/
This is so neat & interesting! Thank you so much for all that you do! ❤️🐴❤️🐴
That's awesome, y'all work so hard for the future of these amazing horses ❤
Awesome job. Thank you for all that you do!!!!
Are you guys collecting those that are from a rescue? I have 2 of Red Feather's in Va.
That’s so cool .
Debbie Lipinski this is awesome!
You folks are incredible and more appreciated than we can possibly convey to you. We're so lucky and blessed to have you caring for these treasures. Thank you!💞👏💞

The wild Banker horses of Corolla have adapted to many challenges since their arrival here more than 500 years ago. They are hardy, resilient survivors. But in recent years, faced with dwindling numbers, environmental dangers, and loss of habitat, the horses need our help more than ever. Your membership allows us to continue the important work of making sure they stay wild and free forever. Get involved today: www.corollawildhorses.com/memberships/
I have you set up as my charity on Amazon.
We say "it takes a village" at least once a week, usually more. And yeah, it's a cliche but it's TRUE! We could not do this work without the support of our entire community - locally and beyond. Our herd count might be 105 horses, but it's much, much higher when you include all the human members too. 😉 Get involved today: www.corollawildhorses.com/support-corolla-wild-horse-fund/
Love our ponies!!❤️
Just received my new calendar and love it! 💞
Let them be…. Free, strong and magnificent
What horse is this?
What’s that horse doing? 🤔
It’s persimmon season! The American persimmon, or diospyros virginiana, is a fruit-bearing tree native to our area and found naturally growing throughout the horses’ habitat. The fruit ripens and sweetens in the fall and is a favorite seasonal food for the horses.
The wild horses can be seen pulling the fruit directly off the tree like Midnight is doing here, and they will also forage for it once it falls to the ground on its own. We have a persimmon tree at the farm and all the rescued mustangs love them - especially Raymond.
Corolla Wild Horse Fund I would love that.. even if you didn't work with a garden center.. a list of plants that grow in the area that are good for the horses would be GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can only imagine walking outside my front door and being able to see that beautiful visitor.
I will be there next week with a friend for a horse tour and visit to the museum - and a new calendar
As a child, I learned the hard way, do not eat green persimmons :-) Ripe wonderful! I have seen a persimmon tree , that's bark was scraped with buck antlers. Deer and other wildlife do love persimmons. Even seen a fox trot off with persimmons.
Also attracts heard of deer out here on Colington. They eat the acorns from live oaks, persimmons, and my garden.
Oh wow! That’s so interesting! Thank you so much for sharing! I love to learn about these beautiful wild horses! 😊❤️🐴❤️🐴
See this is how they are different. A domestic horse would colic from eating many persimmons due to the nature of the fruit. I love them BTW
I miss comments about Raymond. For some reason he stole my heart long ago ! I also love the horses as well.
Interesting. I have a persimmon tree in the pasture and I pick them up so the horses can't eat them. I was told could cause colic.
I didn't know horses can eat persimmons. We have a persimmon tree in our front yard.
Except for the star, he looks very much like my pony when I was growing up. Prince. [I didn't name him, my uncle did because he was the son of their pony and a trotter race horse].
I use to have a mare out of Nevada that would run to the tree when she would hear one fall to the ground. Nothing was going to get HER persimmons.
ok, to ever can make this happen, find me a cheap house to rent or buy, and I will plant all that Im asked to , for all the wild horses..!..😁
Gorgeous, its Fall, Apple Picking Season
Persimmons keeping them healthy!! 🙌🏻👍🏼😍😍😝
We have one in Nags Head, now just wish we had the horses

Sharing this again since we’ve been getting some inquiries lately about what to plant that is safe for the horses. Long story short - native is always best! Not only natural to the horses’ diet, but also good for pollinators and other wildlife. 🌱🌻🌳 🐝One of the most common questions we get from property owners is "what can I plant that is safe for the horses?"
The simple answer is - go native! Native plants are always the best choice for our fragile environment. The North Carolina Native Plant Society has a wonderful resource for this: ncwildflower.org/recommended-native-species/ By planting native species you are helping our local wildlife, from deer and horses to pollinators like bees and bats. Native plants are also more guaranteed to thrive in the harsh conditions on the Outer Banks, and help with soil conservation and ground water management.
If you'd like to go a step further and make sure that your yard is horse-friendly, here is a list of native plants you might find in our area that are dangerous to horses: onslow.ces.ncsu.edu/2018/05/plants-weeds-toxic-to-horses/ Note that not all of them are deadly, and many of them grow naturally anyway but aren't really a threat to horses since they rarely eat them. Though it's important to note that we have lost horses to red maple poisoning, so we do encourage people not to plant them.
One thing to always avoid - oleander. There is oleander all over the Outer Banks, but it is not native and it is highly toxic to both animals and people. There are lots of native shrubs that grow just as well here that aren't harmful!
As for grass, you can't go wrong with a local pasture mix. At the farm on the mainland we've had good luck with Kentucky 31; it grows well, is hardy, and safe for the horses. Make sure the seed you get is endophyte-free. Tall fescue grass can be infected by an endophyte fungus that is highly toxic and will cause pregnant mares to abort. Ryegrass is ok for horses in moderation but it does contain high levels of sugar and can cause health issues in horses predisposed to laminitis and metabolic issues. (Many of the Corolla horses are predisposed to these conditions.)
Thank you for helping us make sure the horses stay safe, and continue to thrive in their habitat! 🌿🐎🌳
Thank you! I am in Duck and wanting to do native plantings so very much appreciate these resources!
The horses can be happy that someone so knowledgeable is looking after them!
This is wonderful information!!!
We are currently seeing a major influx of horse-human interactions, firsthand on the beach and across various Facebook groups. We follow up with the sheriff's department when these posts are brought to our attention and citations can be issued based on this evidence. We take this very seriously, as does local law enforcement.
It is illegal to approach, touch, feed, or otherwise harass the wild horses. You can read the full ordinance here: www.corollawildhorses.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/wild-horse-ordinance.pdf
The law applies to everyone. Your actions have an impact - all it takes is one apple from one person to kill a horse. If you see someone breaking the law, please call 252-232-2216 immediately.
Maybe take a page from Yellowstone. The lady that was too close to grizzlies got 4 days in jail, a one year ban from the park, and a hefty fine. And it was publicized so now the whole world knows what happens if you don’t follow the rules.
It’s too bad that the fine can’t be as high as it is for disturbing a Loggerhead Turtle nest($100,000.00!). Maybe that would get their attention! Selfish, disrespectful, “it’s all about me” people 🙁
They banned a lady from Yellowstone for approaching a mother bear and her cubs, along with fines. They should do the same with all the wild horses from Carova to Shackleford Banks. It has been ridiculous this year.
We own a home in Corolla..I have signs on the house and printed info inside during our rental weeks..I wish the rental companies would be more proactive in addressing this with clients. That said many people don't feel that rules apply to them. Fines need to be a higher
This was a few weeks ago on Bass Lane
Why can't PEOPLE respect the horses and leave them alone?!? Humans are the worst sometimes. Thank you for what you do to keep them safe ❤
This happens with the elk here in the NC mountains all the time. People don't realize that if an elk (or horse, bear, etc) becomes desensitized to people, they are at risk for being euthanized. An example was a bull elk just minding his own business and grazing allowing a tourist to touch him. A park ranger witnessed it and the elk was put down because "next time could be worse" for a human. I don't know what happened to the tourist, hopefully fined, but it's not enough. Just the other day in Cataloochee, many people were getting out of their cars and approaching within 20 feet of a cow elk and her two older calves. I didn't see the incident, but soon enough, an ambulance, park rangers, and rescue squads were coming into the valley. My point is, just because these animals are not scared of you does not mean they are domestic in any way. For the sake of keeping the wildlife wild and alive, just stay back and let them be!
Getting closer than 50 feet is the issue, but so is circling around them and not allowing the horses to freely move along is what really gets me. Many times the water is only “free space” for them. How do you feel when you are totally surrounded? Intimidating
Maybe a FB page of photos of law breakers doing it;, a Pony Safety Deposit on all lodging reservations with fee returned after 30 days if you leave horses alone; or a permit system for all non residents. Lodging reservations should include a promise renter will abide by all wildlife regulations w separate check off. Maybe a daily horse maintenance fee. People don't read signs or handouts. Tie it to their privilege to be there or to their wallets.
Upsetting to hear that people don’t respect such beautiful wild horses. For those who break the law need a hefty fine!!!
This beach belongs to the horses. My thoughts are no homes, no people, no vehicles. So sad....
Maybe a friendly, new sign, “don’t touch the FU&$#@% horses!!!” Why do some people think they are the exception to the rule???
One of the nicest places on earth. Sadly the popularity frightens me because it ushers in humans who think it is all about the pictures they can post instead of the experience of being a respectful guest in this beautiful environment.
So sad, are people really that ignorant...or are they arrogant? We could see the horses perfectly and we were well past 50 ft. away.
Thank you for following up on this. Folks, observe the law and leave wild horses wild. It’s for their safety and yours.
They are a beauty! I don’t understand why people just can’t leave them alone! I am a horse and animal person and with my first visit this past summer it was beyond amazing! I wanted to touch so bad but I didn’t because I enjoy them just being wild! The way they are ment to be! They are so beautiful!!!
Disobeying the ordinance after caught should result in a lifetime ban from the area.
These lawbreakers need to know they are being watched at all times and if they still choose to break the rules have them escorted off the ISLAND and forfeit their visit. They are clueless about how much it costs to take care of sick and injured horses 🐴....
Apparently only the horses can read...so sad!!!
No one should feed any horses that don’t belong to them, wild or not !
Leave the horses alone. I’m so tired of hearing about horses harmed or dead due to human interaction.
We were just there and on Tuesday we were sitting on the porch of the house we rented. Saw one of the horse tours corral 4-5 horses with 3 of their trucks! I don’t understand how they can get by with that!!!
Part of the problem is that in some of these groups, anyone who mentions that the ignorant humans are too close, breaking the law, in danger, disrespectful .. they’re attacked. People just don’t care and don’t believe that anything can happen. Until it does.
When we were there the week of Sept 4 we spoke to such a kind lady that works with the horse fund, that explained why it’s so dangerous which we never get that close anyways and we told her, start giving people a 24 hour hold as a reality check. Tourists have no respect (not all, I know we do Atleast) for anything down there because they just leave. We absolutely love the outer banks and if it were an option I’d find permanent residence but that’s not an option lol.
People are idiots. I loved seeing the horses when I lived back east. Would never think to approach them.
Only 24 hours left to bid on this amazing, one-of-a-kind pot! It’s made with native Currituck clay and infused with the hair of six of our most infamous horses. 🐎🌊

Here's an opportunity to support the Fund and own a piece of history! Our friend Michaelmiddletonceramics creates amazing pottery using native Currituck clay infused with authentic Corolla mustang hair (collected from the horses at the rescue farm during grooming).
Each piece Mike makes is unique, but with this special auction he's offering up the chance to bid on a truly one-of-a-kind pot that will never be replicated. It contains the hair of every horse from the group we call the Renegade 6. These horses - Lucky Duck, Virginia Dare, Mateo, Bonita, Ocean Pearl, and Kitty Hawk, were removed from the wild for their own safety in the spring of 2018 after habitually circumventing the fence and traveling north into Virginia Beach. You can read more about their story here: www.corollawildhorses.com/six-of-one-half-dozen-of-the-other/
Mike is donating 100% of the proceeds to CWHF! Get your bids in: cwhf.betterworld.org/auctions/renegade-6-michael-middleton-cer Auction ends October 10.

Love my “Raymond pot”.
I have five beautiful pots and two vases and every time I look at them I smile and think of my happy place!❤️
I have one Raymond pot and it makes me smile every time I see it!
What an awesome concept--and the Better World video is fabulous!
I love my Raymond pot.
I have two peace’s and I love them!
This photo makes me think the black mark's are made by the horse's noses. That would be a added bonus!💜
Love the renegade 6
Wow...I'm going to check into this

That's beautiful.
Pamela Sapp He looks just like Blackjack!
Bravo is about 2 weeks old now, and is doing great! No more wild adventures on his own - he has been sticking close to mom since accidentally getting separated for several hours when he was less than 24 hours old. Check out the unique color of his eyes! He is one stunning colt! 🤩
Please remember to give all the horses plenty of space. It’s illegal to come within 50ft of them and it’s best to give the foals and their families even more space than that. For reference, most school buses are about 40ft long so keep that in mind if you are in the presence of the horses. We are continuing to see record visitation numbers even during what is normally our off-season, so please help us out by obeying the law and reporting infractions if you see them.
Thanks for the photo, Kristen Vreeland!
We saw Bravo a couple weeks ago 💕
Is this Bravo? We were there when he was born and got away from his Mama. This pic was from the next day.
He's a beauty, so is Mom 💜🐎
They are so precious. Bravo, Bravo stay safe🐴🐴
His nose looks like a heart.

Ahh, didn’t know he got separated! Glad all turned out! He’s precious!🤎

Did you know you can buy a horse (or mule!) breakfast? Hay for a Day ➡️ www.corollawildhorses.com/hay-for-a-day/
I love🥰🐴🌊👍🏻🥳🍂🌲🍀⛱☀️☔☃️🌈 this idea for ALL Seasons and especially this year with all the shortages and delays in delivery this makes a most excellent gift in someone's or a Families name/honor. I could print something or email to the recipient(s). Don't have to leave the house, no wrapping and a most excellent cause to support. LOVE it! Thank You for all you do for the horses ❤🐴🌊⛱
I went on your clothing site & bought a calendar, 2 tshirts, & 2 hoodies. My daughter & I did the tour last year when we came down. She loved it. So anything to help out. She was very excited to know we could purchase or just donate, in order to help out.
My Amazon Smile business account is linked to the Corolla Wild Horse Fund so everytime I shop (and that's A LOT lol!) it makes a donation to my favorite OBX charity! 🥰
Good Morning Beautiful Raymond! Have a Wonderful weekend. ❤️🐴❤️🐴
This would be a Great B-Day or Christmas gift to someone!
Donation made ! Enjoy your HAY!! ❤🐎🐎🐎❤
Love you Raymond. You look content!❤❤
Raymond is looking good.
Tell the horses I said, "enjoy your meal!" Hope to see them in a week! 😊❤🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎
Does the hay for a day, or half day cover all the horses, or mule, at the farm?
❤️
How can I share?
I had the privilege of going to see Raymond at the farm ❤️
What a cutie !

Having sand delivered to the farm for a driveway project means some fun enrichment for the horses! Today Kitty Hawk was pretending she was back on the dunes. 🌊
Our farm on the mainland provides permanent sanctuary for any horse removed from the wild herd, and provides a space for people to get up close and personal with these special horses. It’s also a big part of our breed conservation program.
Help support the work we do there and on the beach by becoming a member, sponsoring a horse, or simply making a one-time donation: www.corollawildhorses.com/support-corolla-wild-horse-fund/ Every dollar makes a difference!
Well of course Kitty Hawk would enjoy a dune! 😍
I chose you as my charity through Amazon Smile. So easy to do and I feel every little bit helps.
Kitty Hawk is beautiful! Thank you so much for all that you do! ❤️🐴❤️🐴
GORGOUS HORSES❤️
Is the farm open for guests?
Wow. They do love their beach walks
This is a great picture of her.
She looks to have been led there to me
What a beautiful picture of her!
Thank y'all for what you do! 🐎💖
You were my birthday charity on Facebook.
Sorry it’s been a little quiet around here - been busy! Hope everyone is enjoying this first beautiful week of fall. 🍂
This is lovely! So many photos of them on the beach but rarely in the woods. This is nice!
Will be there this weekend! Hope to come out to see the horses!
Happy Autumn 🍂🍁
Hope all is well with the beautiful horses and the wonderful people who watch over them!
We came to see the horses last week with Bob’s Wild Horse Tour. What an exciting time, especially when we saw the 8-week old foal, Bramble, on the beach.
Such a wonderful photo. Happy first week of Fall.
Beautiful!!! I have loved this fall weather.
Thank you for all you do for these beautiful creatures. They are truly awesome.
We are here and love seeing the horses.
