The Wild Horses of Corolla are a herd of feral horses that roam freely in the northern part of the Outer Banks in North Carolina. These horses are believed to be descendants of Spanish mustangs brought to the Americas in the 16th century. They inhabit the Currituck National Wildlife Refuge and are known for their unique adaptability to the coastal environment. The Corolla horses are a protected species, and their population is monitored to ensure their survival. Visitors can often see them grazing in the dunes or along the beaches, but it is important to maintain a safe distance to avoid disturbing their natural behavior.
