Because I receive an alert from Google when anything enters cyber space about the Corolla wild horses, I came upon your blog. You photos of the horses are beautiful but I am hoping that you had a very good telephoto lens when you took them. It is actually an arrestable offense in Currituck County to intentionally get closer that 50 feet. This law is in effect to protect both humans from horses – and horses from humans. We have a terrible and dangerous situation in the summer with visitors attempting to pet, feed, and photograph the wild horses. Although our horses may appear quite tame (they tolerate humans because they see thousands of tourists and tour groups all summer long) they are indeed wild and a vicious stallion fight can break out at any moment – with a human nearby or in the middle. I’m glad that you enjoyed your stay here and hope that you will come back. Please visit our website at http://www.corollawildhorses.org for more information on the horses, the ordinance that protects them, and how you can help preserve them for generations to come.
