Outer Banks' wild horses know how to survive a hurricane
https://www.wral.com/outer-banks-wild-horses-know-how-to-survive-a-hurricane/18613175/Many people have been wondering if the Outer Banks' wild horses will evacuate when Hurricane Dorian moves past the Carolina coast.
According to the Corolla Wild Horse Fund, the horses are staying put.
Corolla wrote on Facebook that the wild horses are actually better equipped to handle a hurricane than most humans living on the Outer Banks, WCNC reported.
Officials said the horses will go to high ground, under the sturdy live oak trees to ride the storm out.
"Remember, they’ve been doing this for 500 years," Corolla wrote.
The rescue farm is still prepping the area to prepare for the monster storm. Workers have gathered extra hay and grain and have filled up troughs with extra water.
