Outer Banks wild mustang rescued from beach, hospitalized after leg injury

Number six! Welcome to the beach, little one. 🥰

We aren’t 100% sure of the sex of this foal yet (we think it’s a filly...still need a closer look) but have chosen the name Bramble. He/she was born this morning and both baby and mom are in great shape.

This is one of the mares that adopted Rosie a couple years ago when her mom died, and we are so happy to see that she has a foal of her own now. She is an excellent aunt and mother.

Remember to always give these new families plenty of space! They need quiet time to bond and we want this baby to grow up as healthy and wild as possible. ... See MoreSee Less

Another great workshop, today with Bob's Wild Horse Tours! Amadeo was keeping an eye on things too (that’s him in the photo). 😉

We are so grateful for the operators and guides who take the time to attend these workshops. The season is already rocking and rolling, and spending 2 hours in the office isn’t a normal part of their day this time of year. But they are always enthusiastic about getting together to chat, and always have great questions and insight.

After attending these workshops, drivers are automatically given a CWHF membership and throughout the season everyone receives weekly email updates from the herd manager. These partnerships are a critical part of our work, especially during the busy summer months. The more eyes on the horses, the better!

Thanks again to all the drivers from Bob’s Wild Horse Tours for their participation this morning! You can check out their website for more info, and to book a tour: www.corollawildhorsetours.com 🐎 ... See MoreSee Less

So happy to hear that they are participating and helping to keep the herd safe! See you in a few weeks.

Love hearing about this partnership all in the effort to help protect those beautiful horses!!! Thanks to all!!

Amadeo watches over all of us. xo.

Miss you guys!!!!

Thank you for spending the morning with us. Great job and we all learned something new. Keep up the great work! See you on the beach.

We're glad you are working with the different companies. We miss going out with you, and hope to get on a good tour next October. We took one in 2019 that was not nearly as good as yours were the previous years.

Thank you Erin for sharing these amazing photos with us! Acorn and Junior were having a very serious conversation about something - most likely mares. 🐥🐝 A great reminder of how very wild and very powerful these amazing animals are!

***The trucks are not too close. Horses start fighting, traffic stops moving and waits them out. This is life on the 4x4 and no one in these photos is doing anything wrong or against the law. ... See MoreSee Less

Beautiful & amazing photos AND a great reminder of their being wild.

They are amazing and beautiful horses ! Thanks for sharing these great photos !!

I witnessed a similar encounter many years ago on the beach. They came running towards folks on the beach like this.

Amazing photos!! Thank you for sharing! This is my favorite of all vacations we’ve ever taken.

Those are truly amazing photos of some serious testosterone on the beach. Thank you for posting them.

Absolutely amazing photos of these beautiful horses!! Thank you so much for sharing!!

Absolutely beautiful and captures the majesty of the mustang! Thank you both for sharing!

Awesome pics. Thanks for sharing. Wonderful view into the lives of these horses in relation to people.

Wow they got a beautiful image of two stallions fighting right in front of them

The wild horses of Corolla and Carova Beaches need their freedom to run wild without interference from visitors. Thank you for these amazing photos!

A prime example of how fierce these confrontations can get. I hope neither horse was seriously hurt and I hope folks who visit the 4x4 see this and remember it the next time they're tempted to approach these beautiful, but sometimes dangerous animals. Love them from a distance.

Please, please keep your distance from these VERY beautiful animals. Such amazing photos. But they are handling their business as WILD animals do. If only people would stay away or maybe follow suit to fight even!! I love the wild horses

Thank you for sharing these amazing pictures! Mustangs being mustangs!

These were awesome and a reminder to stay back

These photos are absolutely magical! These beautiful creatures are such a treasure to our coastline.

Was there some years back. Saw the horses at sunrise. Was an amazing experience..🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Great shots and a good visual as to why you STAY AWAY from the horses folks !!!

Great photos. The horses look good, more mares ready to pop soon it looks like.

Absolute proof of the need to stay out of range of those hooves and teeth!

Absolutely stunning photos. Those vehicles look alittle too close

Phenomenal shots..I love watching the horses in live action, thnx for sharing

Thank you all for sharing. Some day I will get there to see these magnificent animals.

Great photos! Hope both boys are ok, no injuries or bruised egos!

Beautiful pictures! Shows how powerful they are and why it’s so important to stay back!

Wow. Stunning. That’s why you stay at least 50 feet from these wild and free horses.

We had another great training workshop yesterday with the guides from Corolla Outback Adventures! Lots of seasoned, experienced folks at this company who are always excited to learn new things and stay up to date on the work we're doing.

The owners of Corolla Outback have been taking people to see the northern beaches since 1962. Things have changed quite a bit over the decades, but their love for the area and stewardship of the land has not. This company has donated more than 60 acres of habitat to conservation and continues to work with CWHF and other stakeholders to improve grazing for the horses, which in turn helps all of the other wildlife in the area too!

You will not be disappointed if you take a ride with Corolla Outback to see the horses! Give them a call at 252-453-4484 or visit their website for more info: corollaoutback.com/ ... See MoreSee Less

This is the best way to see the horses. I’ve gone 3 times and always saw them and learned so much. ❤️

Loved it♥️

We love the Corolla Outback. Every year we usually go 3 times to see the horses. Very interesting. Plus Brad was extremely funny and made the tour very interesting. We will be down in September and I definitely look forward to going on their tours.

Wow! That’s a long time and I know full of history! Thank you so much for donating land for the horses and other wildlife! Y’all are awesome! ❤️🐴❤️🐴

Paul was our guide two weeks ago, and it was a terrific adventure!

I always recommend them to our gallery visitors!

Great tour & safe for the horses!

We love Corolla Outback! They never disappoint.

Best way to see the horses!

We spent a couple hours this morning doing a training workshop with all of the guides from Wild Horse Adventure Tours. This is the third year they have participated and it's always a great workshop with these folks! Lots of excellent questions and discussion, and a genuine interest and passion for the horses and their habitat. And after our meeting, the crew went out and picked up trash off Highway 12. (Look at all that garbage! 😳 Don't be a litter bug!)

Wild Horse Adventure Tours is one of our Community Cares partners. This program is how CWHF acknowledges, highlights, and thanks local businesses that embrace our organization, our mission, and support us diligently. Over the years WHAT has donated generously to the Fund, they own acreage in Swan Beach that is preserved from development and offers sanctuary for the horses and other animals, and they participate in many other green initiatives.

These partnerships are vital to our cause. We offer goodwill and support to each other while working together to keep our beloved Banker horses wild and free. You can learn more about this program and see our other Community Cares partners here: www.corollawildhorses.com/community-cares/

Great work! I will say that when ever I've visited the OBX I've always found their beaches to be fairly clean. I used to live on the beach in NYC and they were always trashed no matter what time of year it was.

That is such incredible news!! We enjoyed our time with them several years ago. Your guide made it fun yet safe for all in our party.

Glad you are partners!

They are the best. They seriously educate hard to all who take their tours. I wish all people would heed their advice they are awesome

This is the best way to see the horses and at the same time learn about them. We have gone 3 times and we always see horses ❤️

John was a great guide!

We took the horse tour with WHAT last year and they were great. We saw so many horses!

We love them! 🥰 Good job WHAT!

Saw them today doing trash pickup, many thanks!

We took a tour with them and LOVED IT! Our guide was great!!

Great group! Have toured with them

How awesome is that! Thank you so much for all that you do! See you soon!❤️🐴❤️🐴

Thank you !!

Awesome sauce..thanks guys..can't wait to take a tour with you again this summer 🐎❤

I love how fun the experience is with Wild Horse Adventure Tours and how conscientious they are regarding the horses and their welfare! 💕🐴

Awesome!!!

Their tours are great!

Thank you all you do!

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Looking good guys! That’s a class act business right there

Thanks for all you do!

Are these the humers on the beach tour? Tuesday, I followed one at 35 miles an hour and parked with another one on the beach around horses, I thought parked tour vehicles weren’t permitted???

Thank you!

We just got a call about a horse being hit by a vehicle, which turned out to be a false alarm thank goodness. But now is a good time to remind everyone to please drive responsibly on the 4x4. Here is information from the county on the laws and regulations: co.currituck.nc.us/beach-parking/currituck-outer-banks-beach-driving/

Please, please, please obey the laws and drive carefully. Slow down and pay attention to your surroundings. Deputies are writing tickets for speeding, for getting too close to the horses, and for stopping at the end of the ramp. It’s a bit nuts out there today and we really need everyone to take a minute to familiarize themselves with the laws and follow them. If you don’t, you could be facing a hefty citation. Worse still, you could kill a person, a horse, or a dog.

This is not an invitation to start a debate in the comments about beach driving, number of houses, or the enforcement of laws. Our staff and the deputies are working as hard as they can, and there is nothing that we can do about the amount of traffic. Thanks for being respectful of this request. ... See MoreSee Less

We went back in Oct to see the horses they were heavy bred at the time very pretty too we got tons of pics and enjoyed the view we even seen our very first coyote on the beach my friend thought it was a dog and we couldn't stop laughing never in my life had I seen a yote on the beach it was pretty neat to say the least we can't wait to come back this yr

Thank goodness that it was a false alarm! My heart sunk reading this. Please keep these beautiful wild horses safe! Wishing all of you a Wonderful Day ❤️🐴❤️🐴

Due diligence and extreme caution is a must, thank God it was a false alarm.

Thank you for your prompt response and diligence to protect these beautiful horses.

Thank God it was a false alarm😊 people just need to slow their roll driving on the beach! Please!!

Definitely

So glad it was a false alarm!

Please give these beautiful creatures their space, and the peace, safety and lives they deserve.

Faites attention 🙏🐎

Praise God everything is ok. I dream about these horses everyday.

Thank goodness it was a false alarm ❤️

Thank goodness it wasn’t true!!

I hope everyone will respect the horses and obey the laws.

So thankful was false alarm my heart dropped!

Please respect and keep the horses and their home safe..there are babies out there too!😥

Just slow down and enjoy the beauty surrounding you!

We were out there yesterday, there was some speeders, and they ALL got stopped! The police are doing a great job! Slow down folks. o need to go over the speed limit. So glad it was a false alarm.

My heart dropped there for a second. I am praying this year is a little less crowded than last year!! Thank you for all you all do for these beautiful and wild horses!!

My heart sank for a second…

Thank God it was a false alarm.

I glad it was false poor horses that’s there home

I love that you don’t round them up and family can stay together. My sister has two Assateague ponies that were way to young to be separated from their mom 😞

Did I correctly hear you say something about a mare taking a foal? If so, can you explain that?

Thank you for all you do for these beautiful horses!! Cannot wait to get back to Corolla❤️

Why are the ponies on Ocracoke kept in a pasture instead of being allowed on the beach ?

Leaving next week to visit for our 26th year annual visit. The horses are my favorite part of our vacation.

That is so sad and horrendous about that precious baby

I had that conversation with my children as their first thought. I leave them carrots. I explained they are wild. No human food and you do not approach them.

Ooooo maybe y'all get a glimpse of baby number one! Now that they're coming out of the marsh🤗

Why do you have to use birth control for them? No disrespect honestly curious.

We are staying in the 4x4 area soon and hoping to see these beautiful horses.

Another point is if you are on the beach and they approach your space, you must remove yourself to stay 50 ft.

I’m sorry I missed if you answered the question about the fold that was born last October if you did I’m sorry but could you answer it again

When did the Corolla horses get corralled up the the North Beach? I feel like they used to roam the towns all the way down to duck?!

Did Scar father more than one for this year? Or is Bridget his only one this year?

So sweet. Who was born last October? I can’t remember the name.

Hi Meg! Oh... I Love them! So Happy to see them on the beach! Such a Beautiful Day. Thank you so much for sharing with us. ❤️🐴❤️🐴

Do these horses ever get wormed by the foundation, or do they never have a problem with worms?

Just beautiful! I remember reading about these horses as a early teen.

Do you personally have any domestic horses of your own? I can feel your love for horses in your voice.

Seen some beautiful horses out yesterday and they were giving us a show🤣...but beautiful as ever!

This is wonderful! I hope to be able to share this on my page.

We will be down at the end of May. Looking forward to seeing them, from a far!

You do an AMAZING JOB. We love seeing they every year. Thank You!!

❤️ Thank you Megan for filming the new baby! Beautiful!

I've spent many a time there. One day they spent hours near where we already parked for the day. So beautiful. They didn't bother us, we didn't bother them...just enjoying the day watching them

Great Idea.

What a great way to help educate renters about the horses!

Great idea

I love this idea. I hope you have a lot of Owners participating.

This is such a great program. Next time we visit I will try to find a rental that takes part.

Beautiful ❤️🐴❤️

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

💖

Love this opportunity!

❤️

Is there a way you can have all the rental properties listed somewhere on your website/fb page who are supporting your program? I know I'd look there first when considering a rental property.

Susan Myers this is a great opportunity for marketing and supporting the horses. It's a win win🐎

It’s a great idea, if they’ll do it. I remember wondering why there was no info about the horses in the houses we have stayed in. Will it be tax deductible for them? If yes, that might be a helpful thing to mention.

No Monday morning blues here - we have two new foals to introduce!

Benjamin, a colt, was born on April 11 and Bridget, a filly, was born on April 23. Both babies have attentive and experienced parents and are doing well! The count for 2021 so far is five - one colt, three fillies, and one yet to be determined.

Please remember to keep you distance from these new families. Fifty feet at minimum. Do not exit your vehicle or climb the dunes to get closer to them - it's dangerous for them and for you. Each one of these foals is critically important to the long-term survival of the Corolla herd. We need them to grow up healthy, strong, and wild! Please help us make sure that happens.

To celebrate Earth Day 2021, we got together with Michaelmiddletonceramics to come up with something exclusive to offer - and here it is! Introducing the very first watertight Corolla horsehair pottery!

These neat little vases are made with local Currituck clay and decorated with carbon impressions of real Corolla wild horse hair. They all feature 2-year-old colt Riptide’s hair. Riptide was rescued in August due to a fungal infection. He spent 5 weeks in the hospital at North Carolina State University, but has made a full recovery and is happy and healthy at our rescue farm now.

Michael has graciously arranged for 100% of the sales of the first 40 vases come directly to CWHF. Get yours today! They will definitely sell out.

Order here: www.corollawildhorses.com/shop/beautiful-horse-hair-clay-vases-by-michael-middleton/ Yes they can be shipped!

Good morning! It's going to be a beautiful weekend on the Outer Banks. If you're planning on visiting the 4x4 area, please remember that you must stay 50ft away from the horses. Harassing, enticing, or approaching in any way is illegal and our sheriff's department has a no-tolerance policy when it comes to the horses.

We know it's exciting to catch a glimpse of the foals, but we ask that you do not hover or circle around them endlessly, and never, ever approach! Not only is it bad for the foal, but it's dangerous for you. Betsy's dad Rocky will not hesitate to protect his family and has already shown aggression towards people who have gotten too close. Did you know a horse has a bite PSI stronger than a wolf or a cougar? Trust us, you do not want to get in between a protective stallion and his new foal.

I agree..Leave them alone..

Great message!

glad their bite means business in protecting their family❣️

What a beautiful picture of Rocky and Betsy! I have a few pictures like this of Arturo (Arthur) Conn & North Star! Love seeing this! Thank you so much for sharing! Have a Wonderful Saturday! ❤️🐴❤️🐴

If I am lucky enough to see them I will just be staring and taking a million pictures. They are truly magnificent creatures that deserve their space and freedom.

Ahh, beautiful mare and precious foal!!♥️♥️

These two are so cool

One of the best vacations I’ve ever had.

What a beautiful picture. thank you for sharing it and for continuing to protect the heard.

Thank you for all you do for the horses!

Beautiful sight...God's creation...

Awww

Great detail on the power of their bite

Gorgeous!

First time since visiting I’ve seen them on the beach. ❤️

This is exactly what we’re talking about. Deputies are on the way. 🤦‍♀️😡

Also DO NOT FEED the horses !!! 🐎

Beautiful picture thanking for sharing. Hoping to see you this summer

Horse bites are the worst, and if you get stepped on...oh Lordt!😉

Looks like a house I helped build in background.

Do you have OLD pics of the horses? We’re talking from the 80s and 90s (or older), before the fence went in? We’d love to see them!

We’ve recently been able to chart the ancestry of one of the Dews mares back to the 70s when Star (pictured below...he was hit and killed and was the catalyst for major protective measures) was born. The science and DNA are what confirm the relationships, but anecdotal info and photos are a big part of the puzzle too.

We’ve got some really exciting updates to post as soon as we get a few details verified by the lab...possibly even who Raymond’s mom is!

Leave your photos in the comments! 🤗 ... See MoreSee Less

So nice to see all these pictures. I have many from 1983 thru the early 2000s when we stayed in Corolla and the horses were visitors to our rental home or wandered around the Whalehead Club. Not digitized but I'll convert them. May drop off prints when I visit in May. Loved those days.

Time to start looking through old photos albums!

Oh how awesome this is! Thank you so much to all that share these beautiful photos of the past! That has made my day! Happy Friday Everyone ❤️🐴❤️🐴❤️

Oh I have that magazine still. Star was the biggest reason I because interested in the horses.

Sep 1991

We have that poster , love it as much today as when we got it. My daughter had it in her college apartment in the 90's and ❤

February 1990

Have some framed in my northern home. Will forward early summer.

Awe. I remember Star! Used to be a memorial sign in Corolla on the road. I have pics of wild horses but they aren’t very good pics. 1989,90.

So neat to see old photos!

When Monteray Shores was being developed.

Have many from late '70's up to now. Will hunt up for you.

Here’s one that we have...❤️

We also have pictures of when we stayed in Corolla and the horses came and visited under the house. Was so excited about that

9/2006

What a beauty!

I bought this poster as my souvenir during my very first trip to the Outer Banks in 1993. 🥰 Will have to dig up the pictures of the horses I have from that visit and other 90s trips.

I know I have many pics from our early trips to the OBX...early 90’s...will start the search and send when I find them.

Early 1990s

Sept 1990 oceanfront in Corolla

I will look, we spent a lot of time in whalehead before the fence went up. In the process of moving so I will go through my pictures

1990 or 1991

We have lots of old pics! They aren’t digitized but we definitely can share what we have as we come across them. What is the best way to share them with you all?

This made my night. I haven’t seen any of the horses but I don’t mind ... I’m hoping I get to see them in the next week or so ❤️ I’m definitely supporting this amazing Fund.

Ugh. Wish those houses were never built. Those ropes are dangerous for foals.

Thank you fur sharing the beauty of wild horses. ❤️

It is precious ❤️

The salty drinking water makes their bellies swell a bit.

Thank you so much for sharing this !! They are so beautiful!!

My son and his family left the Outer Banks after 4 or 5 years, to go live in Montana

Is she number 3 or number 4? The horses look wonderful this year.

My grandparents had a horse named Ginger she had a fole they named Betsy!

Be safe little one, tourists please stay clear!❤

If the friggin Shoobies would leave them alone.....sooo beautiful 🥰

My favorite part!! A few more weeks!❤️❤️

We’ll be there in a couple weeks- can’t wait!!!

Is there more mares or more stations

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this!

Mom, you've got a cute little namesake here! Betsy <3

Were fewer mares darted last year in hopes of larger foal numbers?

Oh would love to be there, may be 1 day I'll get to visit. 😁🐎🐴

I love these videos!! Thanks so much for taking the time to do that!!

Aren’t they so adorably precious. Cassey Wheatley 🐴

Want to visit so badly. This looks so peaceful.

Watching with my granddaughter~ she’s so excited she’s jumping up and down!

Betsy seems to be thriving so well.
