Corolla Wild Horses - On The Outer Banks of North Carolina....................................................................................... CoastalGuide

The hallmark of the Corolla area and Carova Beach, the wild horses of the Northern Outer Banks are perhaps better known than the Currituck Beach Lighthouse or the Whalehead Club.

These are the descendants of Spanish Mustangs which survived early shipwrecks. Historical research records the horses here as early as 1523.

Today, with the increasing development in their habitat, they are under the pressure of encroachment of their range --particularly from vehicle traffic. However, there are several programs being implemented to protect them.
