Not many good things to say about the heat and biting flies this week, but the uncomfortable conditions have resulted in one positive thing - seeing a new(ish) foal for the first time!

This group of horses rarely comes out of the marsh so we don’t see them often, but the bugs had them seeking relief near the water on Tuesday. This colt is a few weeks old and both he and his mom are in excellent condition. He is the 12th healthy foal born in 2026 - seven fillies and five colts.

We’ve got one more day of oppressive heat (the heat index in Corolla is currently 106° 🔥) and it’s especially important to give the horses plenty of space. Please give them a 50' distance minimum at all times. This rule is in place not just to protect them, but you as well. Horses are large, powerful animals who use their teeth and hooves to communicate. Being on the receiving end of that would definitely put a damper on your weekend.

Please be patient and kind to everyone who is working extremely hard to make sure you have a great Labor Day holiday here on the Outer Banks! We’re glad you’re here and we hope you have fun, but just ask that you be safe and always respectful of this amazing place we all love. 🫶

Another scorcher today - temps in the 90s with a heat index of 100° or more. No, this is not normal for this time of year and we are all (humans and horses!) over it. 🥵 The biting flies are also horrendous.

Did you know that horses grow their winter coats based on the light and not the temperatures? That means that the wild horses are already starting to get fuzzy, even though it’s still hot, hot, hot out.

Please give them plenty of space so they can stay as cool and comfortable as possible the next few days. We’ve got a holiday weekend coming up and the crowds are already starting to build. Remember, 50ft at minimum - don’t crowd the horses and make them move more than they naturally have to.

Photos taken this morning. 🌊

People always ask if the horses ever get in the ocean, and the answer is yes! Especially on days like today when it’s hot and the biting flies are bad.

The calendar may say September 1 but it still feels like the middle of summer on the Outer Banks this week. We’re under a heat advisory with indices of 100+°. 🥵And to top it all off, the biting flies have been brutal. Please give the horses plenty of space! They’re trying to stay cool and comfortable - please don’t make things more difficult by crowding them.

Stay safe out there!
