Lots of folks have asked how the Corolla Wild Horses fared during Hurricane Irene. They did exceptionally well!! Most took shelter in the maritime forest ridge that runs up the island. Some sheltered under vacation home carports. The northern Outer Banks were spared any catastrophic damage and the storm surge was less than some nor'easters.
Several Corolla Wild Horse Fund officials and volunteers did not evacuate during the storm. This enabled them to check on the herd immediately after the storm. Having lived on the Outer Banks for 500 years, the wild horses have adapted to the harsh weather and have strong survival instincts.
