Admire from Afar: Tips for Wildlife Etiquette
While encountering the Wild Mustangs [https://www.visitcurrituck.com/things-to-do/wild-horses/?utm_source=ITIDigital-BlogDistribution&utm_medium=pressrelease&utm_campaign=ITIDigital-BlogDistribution] can be a highlight of any trip to the Currituck Outer Banks, it's crucial to respect their natural habitat and adhere to guidelines that ensure their well-being. Here are some essential rules to follow:
1. Maintain a safe distance: For the safety of both visitors and the horses, it's imperative to keep a minimum distance of fifty feet from any Wild Mustangs. This distance helps minimize stress and allows the horses to go about their activities undisturbed.
2. Respect maternal bonds: Foals like Eros need time to bond with their mothers and integrate into the herd. Avoid any actions that may cause distress to the horses, as maternal aggression can occur when perceived threats are present.
3. Leash the pets: Keep furry companions leashed and under control at all times while on Corolla beaches. Unrestrained pets can startle the horses, leading to potential harm for both animals and humans.
4. Avoid feeding the horses: The Wild Mustangs primarily rely on natural vegetation for sustenance and should not be fed by visitors. Human food, such as apples and carrots, can be harmful to the horses and disrupt their diet.
