It's another bright, salty day here in Corolla. Hope you can find some time to refresh your spirit.

Let us know if we can help. A few tour spots left for the week. 252-489-2020

If you plan to be in the Outer Banks area and have an interest in finding out more about the Corolla Wild Horse Fund, consider stopping by on Wednesdays this summer for Mustang Mornings at the Farm.

Beginning May 28th, the Betsy Dowdy Equine Center will be open to the public on Wednesdays from 10 am – 2 pm.

Visit the farm on the mainland in Grandy and meet the rescued Banker horses currently in their care on the walking tour, where you can spend time with their staff.

Attend a free movie screening of The Secret of Corolla, a 32-minute documentary on the Banker mustangs, the culture, and lifestyle of the island. There will be a Q&A directly after the screening with the CWHF staff.

Suggested donation of $10 per vehicle at the gate.

Tucked into this The New York Times piece on the Outer Banks, we were delighted to find a mention...

"Near Corolla, around 110 wild horses still roam free. Known as Banker horses, they are descended from those originally brought over by Spanish conquistadors beginning in the 1500s. For their protection, rules about observing the horses are strict; a 50-foot distance must be maintained at all times. If you have a four-wheel drive vehicle, you can drive along the beach year-round to see them (though a permit is needed to park). Or book a trip through Wild Horse Adventure Tours (in-season, $74 per adult), whose two-hour excursions will take you off-roading in a 13-passenger, open-air Hummer in search of horses, while sharing their history and following all regulations. The ride can be a bit bumpy and brisk, but the tour and ocean views are spectacular. While sightings aren't guaranteed, on a good day you'll, spot horses strolling the sand, frolicking together or resting among the dunes."
