This nature video is just one of the many reasons why I love CBS Sunday Morning. We are taken on a journey to see the beauty of God's creations in a new way. Thank you!

[@mlecarre2057]

God didn’t bring horses to the New World….Europeans did.

[@Mooooty]

God's creations 🤣😂😆

[@daviddiego9831]

Hello 👋 How are you doing?

[@zilufuzi]

No need for superficial music or commentary. Just the essence of nature. Nicely done. “And now for our moment of Zen.”

[@lewstone5430]

The “Jaws” theme would’ve made it better.

[@yesorlando05]

100% agree

[@DickNasty480]

The best part of this show every week.

[@lovesyah4618]

So much beauty. Thank you Father 🙏🏼❤

Horses on the beach=Paradise.

[@deborahgoodman3672]

I've had the pleasure and privilege of seeing these beautiful wild horses live and in person!! A special sight you will treasure forever and never forget. Thank you to the Wild Horse organization who watches over these wonderful creatures!! Love all of the Nature segments on CBS This Morning!

[@aputnam5878]

THANK YOU! One of the most beautiful sites, the sounds, the sandpipers!

[@garyshaffer1409]

Their glossy coats glow in the sunlight.

Beautiful video. Horses are the most beautiful animals .

[@daviddiego9831]

Hello 👋 Deborah How are you doing ?

[@shuffleaccount1985]

the Majestic Beauty of these Amazing Creatures is Overwhelming !

[@leanneschultz4752]

I have been to the Outer Banks, seen these beautiful horses from our boat! Something I will never forget, nature is amazing!

[@richardthebear]

A couple of years ago I went there on a dune vehicle tour. The guide warned us that we might not see any horses on the beach since they really only go there to get relief from biting flies. Notice their swishing tails in the video. The tour didn't disappoint, however. We turned off the beach and up into the dunes where there's a whole neighborhood of houses that are only accessible by 4WD vehicles. The horses were all scattered there in people's backyards and along the trails. Amazing!

[@cindymorrison_caravanlifej3536]

Always wanted to see these horses

[@beckymigdal3140]

It’s worth it.

[@rmaxwell40]

Have done the wild horse adventure tour in the hummer twice.... even more awesome in person

[@galepatrick1702]

beautiful - wild and free-

[@relaxing_music]

The noblest kind of animal. Love them

[@tankprice1951]

I went to the Outer banks last fall saw the beautiful horses I Loved it ! 💕

[@jenniferwetmore2846]

My Heaven. My soul has never been more at peace than it is when I'm on Carova 4x4 beach. Go off season, a whole other obx most don't see, and in my opinion a world better. Quiet. Nature. Peace. I wish for everyone to experience this.

[@beckymigdal3140]

My favorite part of going to the Outer Bsnks was seeing the wild horses in Corolla.

[@nathanhill4718]

I'm in the outer banks now! Went to corolla for dinner and then went to the 4×4 beach and watched horses. Gorgeous!

[@annsmith7207]

Majestic and soothing! ✨🌞✨

[@ediebaxter6194]

This is very pretty. With the birds and beautiful horses and youngest one staying up with mom. Very relaxing

[@valeriejones1785]

Looks like between Corolla and Carova towards the Virginia line. We see then on our bike rides through maritime forest from Back Bay NWF and False Cape SP then into the beach at low tide south to the NC line and beyond. Magical.

[@daviddiego9831]

Hello 👋 Valerie How are you doing?

[@nancykahn4125]

Majestic…

[@jeanetteschock4744]

Always my favorite segment

Hello 👋 Jeanette How are you doing?

[@brianbullard8291]

North Carolina my home state. I do miss her. 💘 from Texas.

[@rr7firefly]

How would a horse react to this oceanfront if it lived its entire life hundreds of miles inland? The coast is a visual and sonic phenomenon unlike anything else.

[@yesorlando05]

I love North Carolina

[@Seahorse0418]

I grew up in northwest Nevada and wild horses are also a majestic sighting. To see wild horses on the beach is just amazing to me! Love these magnificent beasts on both sides of the continent.

[@maryannegunter115]

Would love to be on one, running freely up and down the beach. The most beautiful animal ever.

[@michelebriere9569]

So peaceful.

[@alexwells9948]

0:00 We leave you this morning in the Outer Banks near Corolla North Carolina where Horses are enjoying the ocean waters

[@BehroOoZ]

everything is beautiful natural and in the nature

[@maryannkochanski5777]

What wonders we have in this world!

[@carolharris2401]

Very nice cure for insomnia. I'm saying that because it's peaceful not boring

[@lewstone5430]

Hello horsey in the sand Is this place at your command Can I stay here for a while Can I see your sweet sweet smile

[@richwood1522]

These are really great segments, on CBS Sunday Morning, always so peaceful. Whoever does these, are pretty good.

[@lisalamorey3453]

Ahhhhhh I’ll just loop this all morning….. thanks

[@hummingbird9573]

Looks like just north of Corolla. I’d recognize those old pilons anywhere.

[@uhotrippa]

The horses have more common sense than the touron drivers on the island..

[@kittykat8110]

Hahaha tourons, you must be local. I as well.

[@kitcoffey7194]

8 hours of this, please...the rent is too damn high and Americans don't value sleep so we refuse to do anything about noise...

[@alexandersushko6211]

Looks like they are trying to avoid mosquitoes 🦟

[@margo3367]

When horses wag their tails does it mean the same thing as when dogs do it? Lovely video.

[@katmandudawn8417]

No, that usually means they are swishing away flies. Those barrier islands have truly terrible biting insects, especially once you get into the dunes and away from the ocean breezes. Horse’s ears are a better indicator of their mood. Years ago I stopped with my family at the Assateague Island to use the beach. There were very large signs saying how the horses were wild and could be dangerous. I fully intended to keep my distance but no one told the horses. After our swim, my friend and I went back to the car to get our things to change because we didn’t want to sit in wet , sandy swimsuits for the long ride home. Not knowing we would need our bags my dad had packed them at the bottom of everything. We ended up unhooking the boat trailer to access the back of the station wagon and unloading most of the luggage. I was bent over my bag when I heard a horse snort right behind me. Looking around I realized we were surrounded by a group of “hooligan horses “ intent on ransacking our things. They refused to be scared away, so my friend and I climbed up on the boat and watched as the ponies pawed through the bags and stole cookies and things. After they got bored, we got down, repacked the car and got changed. My family had missed the excitement because they stayed to swim longer. We tried to tell them that our lives had been threatened by “ evil” horses but they wouldn’t believe us. I think it began to sink in once we got home and my mom was unpacking mangled kitchen items, like a chomped roll of foil and loaf of bread. She really understood after we developed the pictures I took of the “ assault”. It was particularly ironic because we were parked right in front of the “ beware of horses” billboard. I think this must be the origin of Bad Horse. ( for any Dr Horrible’s Sing Along Blog) 😁

[@crashweaverda]

And in the mean time the U S goverment is rounding up the mustang and stuffing them in to over crowded pens were there dying.

[@betsyv8276]

Is it because they compete with cattle for grasslands?

[@sharksport01]

Who made it legal to sell horses for meat?

[@nakedladymandalas]

And yet another reason our family became vegan 6 years ago

[@mojorising1]

I'd rather be...

[@intheshell35ify]

Must be a bug in that sand that loves the taste of horse meat.

[@alexwells9948]

2:52 I'm Alex Wells please do join Jane Pauley again next Sunday Morning until then i'll see you later for Here Comes the 🌞

[@Mooooty]

Horse meat tastes great!

[@maryannegunter115]

That's a terrible comment

[@AngleIron426]

I gave one an apple once.

[@chollystaunton9581]

One should NEVER feed or even get close to them.

[@mattp4079]

A mare died 2 years ago, choked on an apple- a food that is not native to their habitat. "Young Horse Dies at Outer Banks After Choking on Apple" By Spectrum News Staff Outer Banks PUBLISHED 7:52 AM ET Jul. 14, 2020

[@AngleIron426]

@@chollystaunton9581 Yes, absolutely. The horse I met was being cared for by people. It may have been a rehab -not sure, it was decades ago. In fact it is illegal to feed, touch, or approach a Corolla Wild Horse. People must remain at least 50 from them. Enjoy the horses with binoculars. Or take an educational tour with the Corolla Wild Horse Fund.

[@sarahthomas2275]

@David Best If you’re aware of the plight of our wild horses and the rules regarding interacting with them, why post a comment that implies you went against those rules without also stating that your interaction was with a horse that had been previously removed from the herd? Oh , right, because it’s not cool enough to say you fed an apple to a domesticated Corolla Wild Horse. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Social media and people like you will be the downfall of those horses, and so many other unique experiences like this, because everyone believes they are the exception to those rules and have to brag about it on social media with photos or unnecessary comments like yours.

[@absatwell8163]

Not a good idea. They are not used to that being wild. Used to be able to drive on the beach there and see them, but not sure about now.

[@jolyfrye1871]

This is one of the coolest scene of horses, 🐴 I've ever seen in my life...This should B on a calender.🗓

[@lindafrench5412]

I would invite you, if you don't mind, to watch Mustang Meg or Chasing Horses and others. The above are in different parts of the country. Salt River horses hold their breath to get get the eel grass in the river, the only ones who do this in the world. Since you enjoyed it so much these may interest you also. Blessed be. 🙂😎
