Corolla Wild Horses
The Corolla wild horses, descendants of Spanish mustangs that evolved into a unique breed known as Banker horses, are living symbols of The Northern Outer Banks’ untamed spirit. Take an unforgettable guided Corolla wild horse tour to Carova Beach and you’ll catch sight of these majestic animals and maybe dolphins and other Outer Banks wildlife, too. While taking a tour of the wild horses or driving on the 4×4 beaches, always remember to stay at least 50 feet away from the horses and never feed them! To see the horses close-up, visit rescued Banker horses on “Mustang Mornings” at the Betsy Dowdy Equine Center on The Mainland.
GUIDED TOURS
The best way to see the wild horses of Corolla is with a guided tour. Local experts know where to safely find the herds, how to approach respectfully, and how to navigate the 4×4 beaches. Along the way, you might also spot dolphins, sea birds, and other coastal wildlife — all without leaving a trace.
