Due to recent public concern and local support, a new ordinance has been passed in Corolla, NC., the northern end of the OBX, which restrict the public from nearing wild horses. Previously, out-dated ordinances could only be enforced if a person were within 50 feet, “feeding” the horses, which was the only restriction mentioned in the ordinance.
The new law bans all forms of intentional contact to reduce potentially harmful exposures to these unique animals. If you visit the OBX this summer, by all means take some time to witness the beauty of these rare, free-range horses, but be aware of these new regulations so both you and the horses can enjoy the OBX.
