I was worried I would kill the thread last night.

He's a Colonial Spanish Horse from the Corolla area/strain in North Carolina.

Found out from my vet yesterday, who's seen a few of them before, that they can be drafty and not all are dainty.

Do any other states besides NC have wild horses on their coast/barrier islands ?

Virginia and Maryland.

Chincoteague Ponies. Two herds of wild horses on Assateague Island, separated by a fence at the Maryland-Virginia line.

They're usually named two different things based on which state they're from. Chincoteague In Virginia and Assateague in Maryland.

Then the Marsh Tacky of South Carolina, from South Carolina Sea Islands.

There's a bunch of strains, actually. All generally similar and rare out in wild herds.

I took this a few years ago on Carrot Island, it's right across from the waterfront in Beaufort, NC.

The main herd is on Shackleford Banks but some swim back and forth.

Its further south than Corolla.
