Wild Horses at North Carolina Outer Banks
Wild Spanish Mustangs at Carova Beach, Corolla, North Carolina
In late September, 2019, we drove to Knotts Island, located along the western shores of the Back Bay in northeastern North Carolina. From the marina, we met up with our local guide, who took us via small powered boat across the Back Bay to the remote community of Carova Beach, on the Outer Banks. Carova Beach can only be reached by boat or by 4x4 vehicles. The isolated community is surrounded by various National Wildlife Refuges, and it is here that one of the largest herds of wild Spanish Mustangs reside. Our guide showed us around the area by boat and by 4wd truck. We appreciated the fantastic scenery of the area as well as observing dozens of wild horses. We even briefly entered False Cape State Park in Virginia.
Thanks for watching!

Wild horses on the beach Carova NC Outer Banks
See the wild horses on the beach in Carova NC in the northern Outer Banks. You have to drive on the beach so you need a 4x4 vehicle or take a tour. They aren't always on the beach so it's kinda like a treasure hunt to find them. In the neighborhood there is a county park with public washrooms because you can spend some hours on this awesome adventure.

I made it to the top, then walked around the outside with my back against it the whole time to film this
Kayaking Vlog
Outer Banks, NC 2008
This video was recorded on August 20, 2008, and at that time I think it was probably the first Kayaking Vlog. However, before I was able to post it, WifeOfNalts & Nalts had to show me up and make one of their own lol.
We Kayaked somewhere between 3 and 5 miles during our trip, and according to the rental people, coming back from the bridge we were hitting 50mph winds. I'm not sure if they really were that strong, but they were strong and it took us more about 3 hours to do the return trip, while going out to the bridge only took about 45 minutes.
Corolla Wild Horses
The Colonial Spanish Mustangs as well as the North Carolina State Horse live on the Outerbanks. These horses have survived for centuries. Join us for a visit with these hardy beautiful creatures!
Flying around Corolla Beach, NC (Video #2)
Pat and John on a Wild Horse/Corolla Lighthouse tour with Coastal Helicopters over the Outer Banks!
On a beautiful spring day, Pat and John fly with Larry and Coastal Helicopters. Departing from Manteo Airport and first heading south to see Wanchese, then across the sound to the Oregon Inlet Bridge. Heading north past the Bodie Island Lighthouse along the ocean they see Jockeys Ridge State Park, the Wright Brothers First Flight Monument and head all the way up to the Virginia border spotting wild horses and circling the Corolla Lighthouse. Flying back south past the Whalehead Club, Duck beaches and the Nags Head Woods Nature Conservancy then heading across the sound back to Roanoke Island.
Corolla Wild Mustangs
Because of injuries or dependencies, these horses could not return to the wild so the Corolla Wild Horse Fund has arranged for their maintenance adjacent to the Currituck Beach Lighthouse where they can be seen.
You can see wild horses walking along the beach on the Outer Banks north of Corolla to the Virginia State line, which has been designated by a Currituck County ordinance as a Wild Horse Sanctuary. For the safety of the public and the horses, the ordinance also makes it unlawful for anyone to harm, approach, and feed or kill any wild horse in the sanctuary. Wild horses are occasionally seen on the refuge and visitors are advised to view them from a distance. Nowhere else can you see wild Mustangs walking along the beach and they don't have a healthy fear of humans with continued exposure to humans on the beach and it doesn't matter how tame they seem wild horses will also bite and kick.

MY STAY IN NORTH CAROLINA - OUTER BANKS (SO BEAUTIFUL!!!) + WILD HORSES
The Outer Banks has a way of connecting with people, staying with them long after the vacation is over. Uncrowded beaches that stretch for miles and the endless possibilities that come with them. This is America’s First Beach. The site of our country’s first National Seashore and the place where the English first tried to settle in the New World. National and state parks share those stories and more. You’ll find hospitable people in the towns and villages of the Outer Banks, and plenty of vacation rentals, hotels, and other comfortable lodging options to call “home” for a few days, or a week or two.
Thanks so much for your love and being a part of this journey! We all spark each other in the same way. For askjesse series: you got your #body #mind #psychology questions? I got your answers or maybe not. I say to you do not believe in anyone, including me. You have to find your own insight, and then follow it. Wherever it leads is the right path for you. Wether anybody else is following that path or not is not the question. Each individual is unique and each individual life has beauty in it’s uniqueness.

Wild Horses of North Carolina
I spliced together some video footage, which I took over the last couple years on the lower Outer Banks, then I added some music to it. All scenes were shot, off the coast of North Carolina, in the Cape Lookout National Seashore, in the Outer Banks. All shots were done by long lens and taken more than a bus length away from the subjects, (in most cases allot farther).
Outer Banks Corolla Wild Horses - How Did They Get Here?
With Karen McCalpin, Executive Director of the Corolla Wild Horse Fund
A lot of the questions that visitors come down and ask are about the wild horses, which is one of the area's top attractions. And they ask, 'How did they originally get here?'.
There are three schools of thought about their arrival, the most documented one is being put ashore in 1528 down in what is now Cape Lookout National Seashore. It was Cape Fear then. Ships have run aground on sandbars, they had to lighten the load so the heavy things went overboard, and one of the most heavy things on the ship were horses, and they were also the most expendable. So the horses went overboard and were able to swim ashore in the shallow water, and National Geographic documented 5,000 wild horses on the Outer Banks by 1926.
Another thing is, I know up north (in Virginia) they're ponies and they're horses here, Assateague and Chincoteague. What's the difference and how do they relate to each other at all?
Well at one point in time, all of the horses on the East Coast were Spanish horses. But depending on who settled the area, for example Virginia was settled by primarily the English, so when they came they brought Shetland ponies and Welsh ponies and Connemara ponies and crossed them with the Spanish horses that they found. And then over the centuries, because it's a farming community, they brought in a lot of other domestic breeds, so now you have whatever exists as the cute Chincoteague pony, but it's a pony. Our horses (in Corolla) are genetically horses. They're small horses, and might be pony sized, some of them, but they are horses. And because of their isolation here on the Outer Banks, they've been DNA tested twice and remain pure.
And you also do horse tours here as well, through the Corolla Wild Horse Fund, correct?
We do. Our emphasis is a little different, it's on education and we take only small groups. Our purpose is to connect people with our mission and let them know why it's so important to protect and preserve this national treasure. Because it doesn't matter what state you're from, these are nobody's horses but they're everybody's horses.
