Motor Man and I took advantage of a beautiful spring day recently and headed to the Outer Banks.
The past few times we’ve been, we haven’t seen many horses, but this time we saw 14, including this one enjoying a stroll along the beach.
A few were hanging out on the dunes.
And this one was channeling a Friesian.
Tis spring, so the young bucks are a bit restless; we witnessed much whinnying, rearing up and running.
And this one was apparently looking to check into his accommodations for the week.

Glad you were able to get your “horse fix” – the spring weather is making EVERYONE frisky!

Beautiful pictures!!
BEAUTIFUL! Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!! …And the one checking in – GREAT!
Gorgeous and fun. I love your horse posts. Your photos and thoughts are wonderful and so very cheerful. 🙂
The black is gorgeous… that mane and such a beautiful head! I am happy you got to see your horses!
Loved seeing each photo!
Looks like a great day !
I definitely see Friesian there !
& .. is that a … ‘rental horse’ ? .. in the last pic ? ; )
Great pictures as always! The horse ‘checking in’ at the house cracked me up. But what really got my attention was the wannabe Friesian — Black Beauty for sure!
Wonder if he rang the door bell?
So beautiful photos! Are these horses wild living on their own?
Hi! Yes, there is a non-profit group that oversees them, and steps in if there’s a serious illness or injury. In that case, the horse is removed from the herd and taken to a rescue facility. If possible, it is nursed back to health and adopted. Once removed from the herd, a horse is never returned for fear of bringing in disease, etc, and because it has become accustomed to human contact. Their web-site must be down at this time, but try http://www.corollawildhorses.com later, and you’ll be able to read more. Thanks for reading and the comment!
Thank you for telling me, I was wondering what if they are hurt or sick, I really appreciate those who take care of them. We don’t have wild horses, too cold winters.
Great shots Dianna! How wonderful to see horses in the wild.
Good to see the horses having fun and enjoying the weather. Great shots as always.
