Abstract:

It's foaling season on Shackleford Banks, a sandy natural haven in the Cape Lookout National Seashore, located a few miles out from Beaufort. The first foal of spring brought the total number of Shackleford horses to 123. According to scientists who study the horses regularly, there are 22 harems and five bachelor bands. This hardy breed is believed to be descendants of Spanish stock brought over by early explorers and later abandoned.
