A New Addition to Our Beloved Wild Mustangs Herd: Welcome, Foal Eros!

Corolla and Currituck County residents, known for their commitment to preserving their beaches, historical sites, and wildlife, have a new addition to their Wild Mustangs herd. The Wild Mustangs, descendants of horses from 16th-century Spanish explorers, are a significant attraction in the Currituck National Wildlife Refuge.

The Corolla Wild Horse Fund announced a foal named Eros's birth in early February 2024. This birth increases the total number of wild horses in the herd to 111. Visitors in the spring might see Eros and other new foals on the beach.

Residents and visitors are reminded to follow the laws protecting the Wild Mustangs. Keeping a distance of at least fifty feet from the horses is essential for their health. Disturbing foals and their mothers can cause stress and potential rejection in the herd. Pets must be leashed on Corolla beaches, and feeding the horses is not allowed due to potential health risks.

The recommended way to see the Corolla Wild Mustangs is through a guided tour. Several tour companies can take visitors to areas where the horses are usually seen. Booking a horse sightseeing tour is advised for a unique view of these horses in their natural environment.

Corolla and Currituck County residents are ready to welcome visitors to see their Wild Mustangs. After booking accommodations, visitors should download the visitor's guide to plan their trip.
