photo dump from Shackleford Banks 🐎🏝 such an awesome day out on the island with wild horses!! Shackleford Banks is home to more than 110 wild horses. This is one of the few places in the eastern United States where wild horses can still be seen. This particular herd on Shackleford is not related to any other species of horse in the states so they are very unique!! Research shows evidence of Spanish ancestry in the Shackleford herd.. so the origin of how these horses got here is often linked to a Spanish shipwreck.
