I recently visited Corolla, NC and happened upon the rare wild Spanish horses of Currituck counties.

 If you're a horse lover dreaming of a rare equestrian vacation experience, the Corolla Wild Horses in North Carolina should be a top ten on your list. These majestic and rare horses roam freely along the shores of the Outer Banks, offering a one-of-a-kind opportunity to connect with nature and experience the magic of wild horse life.

These wild beauties continue to thrive in their natural habitat, and seeing them up close is an unforgettable experience for any horse enthusiast.
