Corolla Wild Horse Fund - Corolla, North Carolina

Christina S.

Corolla Wild Horse fund is a non profit that manages the wild herd of Corolla. They protect and document the horses. They also have a farm where they have some Corolla Banker Horses that have been removed from the wild herd because of health reasons. During the summer months you can visit the farm on Wednesdays from 10am- 2pm. It’s called mustang mornings and the suggested donation is $10 a car.

If you have young kids who love animals or if you love animals it’s a must! We visited with our kids ( ages 7,5, and 3 ) and we had the best time! We got to learn about the wild heard in Corolla as well as hear the stories of all the horses on the farm. The kids got to interact with the horses- we even have a painting that one of the horses did for the kids. When you visit the wild herd in the 4 by 4 section of Corolla you cannot get any closer than 50 feet to the horses but at the farm you get to be close to them and pet them. At $10 dollars a car it’s a steal of a price! It really was a highlight of our vacation. Later that week we went out to the 4 by 4 section to see the wild horses but honestly going to the farm first enhanced that experience for all of us.

The farm is the Betsy Dowdy Equine Center 102 young rider lane Grandy NC

Wife and I went here for part of our honeymoon. She enjoyed it even though she isn't into horses. Tour guide was awesome, and made us all laugh. The tour itself was almost more fun than when we saw the horses. He was knowledgeable and I could tell he loved his job, and the horses. Wife and I had fun, purchased some merchandise, and became a member. This is the only true wild horse nonprofit in the area. I love these guys and will be returning when I can. Highly recommend you go here and support these guys. The tour is a blast.

Lovely older buildings in the heart of Corolla Village! Quaint with lots of character. Plenty of options to support the horses. Lost of information and history on the horses.

Good people, great organization to help protect the wild horses here on the Outerbanks. Tour guide was very nice. Tour was done in a GMC Yukon which I was happy about considering how hot out it was and were not all jammed in like cattle in a humvee like we witnessed with other companies that did the same. Had a great time and encountered a lot of the horses up close and personal.

Our experience with the tour was incredible! Instead of booking tours off site, go directly to the source. It's almost half the price. The guides know EXACTLY where to find the horses. Even if they have to hunt them down (it doesn't take much) we learned such amazing history about the horses. Plus, I admire the fact that $ collected goes to helping protect these majestic creatures. We also got some amazing pictures.

Our tour guide was Doug and he was phenomenal. He was friendly, helpful, considerate and knowledgeable. We saw over 20+ horses and some dolphins. Highly recommend this tour. We had two kids (5 yr old and 2 year old) with us and they loved it. Their car seats clicked right into the latches - very secure. The sand blowing in their faces was a little uncomfortable for the 2 year old but it was quick. Maybe bring a small towel if your child is sensitive to these things. Overall, wonderful tour and would go back! Money well spent!

Lots of information about the Corolla Wild Horses and their history.
And lots of items that you can purchase to help support the care of the horses.
