When I moved to the Outer Banks I always told myself I would make it out to Corolla to see the wild horses. Well finally it was my lucky day! I met a great guy who made made my horse hopes come true. He took me out on not only a tour, but my very own private wild horse tour…
We hopped up in the truck, cranked up the heat and cruised through the sand and the snow along the shore. Watching the waves out of the car window was certainly another check off my bucket list. And on top of that, the adventure had only just begun.
We cut across the beach and darted through the dunes. What a wild ride! Through peaks and valleys we kept a lookout for these mysterious mares. When we finally caught a glimpse, we made our way over. To my surprise, we saw not one or two, but a whole ‘harem’ of horses! We loved watching them play, and of course we had to sneak a few selfies. We even saw a stand off between two very sassy stallions. It was hard to head out, but the best surprise was set for last.
As we made our way atop the sandy mountains we parked at the perfect sunset overlooking the sound. I have to say this is the warmest welcome I could ever ask for. What a wonderful way to top off the day.
