Wild Horses on Shackleford Banks @ Cape Lookout National Seashore, North Carolina

The wild horses of Shackleford Banks are a unique herd that has lived on this barrier island off the coast of North Carolina for centuries. They are believed to be descendants of horses brought to the Americas by Spanish explorers in the 16th century. These horses have adapted to their environment, living without human intervention and thriving in the wild.
