A few people have asked for a live video of Raymond, so tune in this afternoon at 5pm EST and we’ll go live from his highness’s pasture. We can talk about his history on the beach (yes, I’ve got a baby pic!) and his life on the farm. See you in a couple hours! #InternationalRaymondDay #whynot ... See MoreSee Less

Raymond says hi! He has been busy with the following:

✔️working on shedding out his winter coat
✔️not missing any meals
✔️making mean faces at the goat even though he secretly likes him

He'd like to remind everyone to stay home and stay safe because he misses seeing you in person and wants to get back to our regularly scheduled open houses soon! ... See MoreSee Less

IT'S A BOY! Ok, we're like 99% sure. 😉

We're estimating the little one to be about a week old. His mother is North Star, and her parents are Virginia Dare and Lucky Duck, who both live at the rescue farm now. This colt is carrying on his family's legacy!

There were two names we couldn't decide on. The first choice was Arthur, or Arturo. 👑 Our second choice was Ananias, after Ananias Dare, father of (human) Virginia Dare, of Lost Colony fame. Rather than choosing between the two, we figured a special boy like this deserve a special name. So welcome to the world Arturo Ananias Dare!

After a decade of carefully managing the herd by collecting DNA data, targeted contraception, and thoughtful record keeping, we are able to track entire families. We are now in a position where we are ready to work with genetic specialists to create a registry of Corolla horses that documents family lines like this one. This will help us determine matches for captive breeding as well as help us manage our targeted breeding program for the wild horses.

Arturo is a special foal for many reasons - the first of 2020, the first for North Star, a ray of light during a dark time in the world, and a healthy addition to a herd that needs new members. But perhaps the most special thing about him, particularly to those of us who fought to keep his grandparents and uncle Mateo on the beach and then worked hard to make sure their transition to captivity was filled with understanding and love, Arturo is proof that life goes on. Legacies continue with careful management, and even the horses that can no longer stay in the wild leave their mark on the herd. They all have a story, and a purpose, and we are dedicated to protecting them for many, many generations to come.

🐎You can be a part of the herd too! Learn about ways to get involved - www.corollawildhorses.com/support-corolla-wild-horse-fund/ ... See MoreSee Less

Good morning! We have something to celebrate today - the first foal of 2020! The family is way back in the woods and marsh so we weren’t able to get close enough to them to determine the sex of the baby but we can see that mom and foal are both in excellent condition! Looks like the baby is bay with two socks and a star. We will be giving all the 2020 foals ‘A’ names this year in honor of our sweet Amadeo. He is surely keeping a close eye on this little one. 🥰 ...

📹 Tune in tomorrow at...shall we say 2pm EST, give or take a few minutes? We’ll do a live video from the beach, where we’ll hopefully find some horses to watch and talk about. They’ve been very active this week, enjoying the spring weather (and grass!). ... See MoreSee Less

To the lady who just stopped me in the grocery store and handed me $20 “for the horses,” thank you so much. It’s people like you who keep this organization going, and we appreciate you so, so much. Your generosity and kindness means the world to the horses, and to those of us who work hard to keep them safe. #payitforward #kindnessisntcontagious ... See MoreSee Less

Good morning! We’re having a bit of a blow today - no driving on the beach. 💨🌊 But here are some photos our Sanctuary Observers took over the last few days. The horses are coming out of the marsh and looking good! We’re busy updating records as we see everyone. Lots of shifts in harem dynamics, which is normal in the spring. And awesome news - Gus has two new mares in addition to Taka! Go Gus!

Help us continue this important work by making a donation if you can, or simply sharing this post if you can’t. Hopefully these pictures have brought a little bit of joy to your day. We take a lot of comfort in the fact that life hasn’t changed for the horses. Their routines stay the same as they have for generations, and we plan on being here to protect them for a long time to come!

Thank you so much for your support. ... See MoreSee Less

Don’t like the weather? Just wait a couple hours - it’s spring in northeastern North Carolina! Yesterday was sunny with highs in the 80s and today dawned chilly, damp, and foggy. 🌦 The horses are still shedding out their winter coats so they appreciate the cooler temps. ... See MoreSee Less

Lots of local folks have been heading up to the off-road area in an effort to get out of the house while still staying isolated and that’s great, but please remember to stay 50ft from the horses at all times! This is for your safety and the horses’ safety. Our staff is stretched incredibly thin right now, as are our county law enforcement officers. Please do the right thing and give the horses plenty of space. Thank you for being great neighbors and advocates for the horses! ... See MoreSee Less

Corolla Wild Horse Fund is at False Cape State Park.

Sorry for no livestream today. Horses are laying low and the roads are still pretty flooded from the rain we had earlier this week. But we’d like to take a minute to thank our friends at False Cape State Park for working with us to repair to fence on the Virginia state line. We brought materials up and their volunteers and staff did the work. Good fences make great neighbors, right? 😁 We appreciate their support, and their dedication to helping us keep the horses safe. ... See MoreSee Less

It takes a village! And that means it’s important that we have the resources we need to educate as many people as we can about the horses’ cultural and ecological significance, and why it’s so critical to preserve this historic breed for generations to come. Your support, as members, donors, and wild horse advocates, helps us achieve these goals.

Please consider getting involved today: www.corollawildhorses.com/support-corolla-wild-horse-fund/

And speaking of education, keep an eye out for a live video from the beach later today. Sorry we can’t provide an exact time; it will all depend on being able to track down some wild horses. 🔎 Trying for around 3pm EST. ... See MoreSee Less
