North Carolina Icons: The Wild Horses of Shackleford Banks

For nearly 400 years, wild horses, descended from Spanish mustangs brought by the earliest European explorers, wandered the length of the Outer Banks freely. Today, only a handful of herds remain, but they aren’t hard to find - if you know where to look. Visitors can catch a glimpse of these resilient wild horses on Shackleford Banks, in Corolla, on Okracoke, and at the Rachel Carson Reserve.

I’m in the mountains of NC. Visited the coast in May of 2023. On my “bucket list” was to see these beautiful, majestic horses! I was able to. Thank ❤you!!

We’re so fascinated with these horses because they are free. It’s a shame that the only way they can be free is if they are far away from humans.

The whole range of wild behaviors in their natural state? Why are there no youngsters in this video?
