Abstract:

Spanish mustangs have roamed the dunes around Corolla for five hundred years. As late as 1920, there were 5,000 of them on the northern Outer Banks, but the population had dwindled to 113 by 2010 on the twelve mile strip of sand north of Corolla. As the beach population and summer tourism increases, the horses are pushed into a tighter, smaller habitat. Graff describes the work of Wesley Stallings, who is in his third year as manager of Corolla's famous wild horses.

Abstract:

The Corolla Schoolhouse, one of many one-room schools that once dotted the Outer Banks, closed over fifty years ago. Through the work of local preservationists, Doug and Sharon Twiddy, the building was restored in 1999. It is now the Corolla Wild Horse Museum and the home base of the Corolla Wild Horse Fund, the nonprofit group that manages the herd.

Abstract:

Thanks to a few devoted individuals, the Outer Banks’ wild horses continue to survive despite increasing hardships. The Corolla Wild Horse Fund continues to take steps to buffer the population of horses from the increasing development of the Currituck Banks.
