Wild Horses of Corolla
1130 Corolla Village Rd, Corolla, NC 27927
Roaming freely along the windswept shores of Northern Outer Banks, the wild horses of Corolla are living links to a bygone era. Believed to be descendants of Spanish mustangs brought here by explorers over 400 years ago, these striking horses have adapted to life on the barrier islands, navigating dunes, salt marshes and scrub forests with quiet resilience. These wild herds are a reminder of the unique and untamed spirit that still defines the Outer Banks. As the horses are free-roaming, visitors are recommended to book a guided tour and enjoy local lore, ecology and awe. For the safety of these precious local residents and our visitors, state law requires humans maintain a 50-yard distance from the wild horses at all times.
