Speehless Sunday-Just Hanging Out at The Beach with Some Friends

Corolla NC Horses on the Beach

Some folks say they go to the beach in North Carolina for years and never see the Wild Horses of Corolla. We took our 4 wheel drive down to the beach, pulled out our picnic table and evening cocktail and soon this crew came wandering out of the hills.

A few minutes later another group and then a Stallion came out as well. The horses are protected and since they are wild you can not feed them or try to lure them closer to you otherwise you might incur a heft fine. It is thought that the horses are decendants of Spanish horses which escaped when the Spanish landed iin the area in the 16th century.

No matter how they got to the dunes of the Outer Banks they are a wonderful sight to see as the sun is setting.

Pat, This a great shot of the wild horses here in North Carolina. We see them frequently at Shackleford beach, But I have never gotten such a great photo! It is an amazing feeling to see them so close, they are such beautiful creatures... It always takes my breath away.

Amy-they give new meaning to the term beach bum. The fact that they have learned to adapt to the environment is amazing.

Wow, Pat...as if I hadn't already been spending hours on YouTube looking at horse videos lately...this is such an AWESOME photo!!! Thank you so very much for sharing it...my heart is melting right now...as you can tell, I have serious horse envy and can't wait to get one. :)

Leilani-I understand the love!

Funny, I was so infatuated with horses as a little girl...now 30 years later, I find myself right back where I was...still in love with horses! I've made a little progress though. Back then, I wanted a unicorn...now I want a Friesian! :)
