Riptide Goes to Raleigh!
Riptide was in Raleigh and it was historic day for the Corolla Bankers!
The Corolla Wild Horse Fund was invited by the North Carolina General Assembly, on behalf of Senator Bobby Hanig and Representative Ed Goodwin, to visit the state capitol in Raleigh to raise awareness about the Corolla Bankers and the work we are doing to preserve their wild habitat and promote conservation of this endangered breed. Riptide, who was formerly wild but rescued as a yearling due to a life-threatening infection, came along to serve as an ambassador for his breed and show representatives from across the state how very special these horses are.
This is the first time our state horse has set hoof on the grounds of the capitol!
We’d like to extend our sincere gratitude to Senator Hanig and Representative Goodwin for their recognition and support, and we are looking forward to continuing working together to advocate for these horses at the state level.
Good boy, Riptide. We are so proud of you.
