Must be stunning.
Is this the first hurricane to hit North Carolina or did i slip into a parallel dimension
Couldn’t drag ‘em away.
LOL!
They will be fine.
Rounding up a few hundred and corralling them inland for a week would not have been overly burdensome.
If any wild horse replacements are needed we have an over abundance here in Nevada.

We also had the book by same author, Sea Star, Orphan of Chincoteague. There was a third, Stormy, Misty's Foal and one more, Misty's Twilight.
Is there any high ground on the island? They’re calling for a storm surge of 10 feet and higher. Those horses will have no choice but to swim to higher ground, unless there’s higher ground ON their island.
You’d likely enjoy Black Bess and the ride of Betsy Dowdy then. It’s generally not held to be fictional though.

I have attended the Chincoteague pony roundups a number of times. It is a major actvity with a lot involved. I was wondering what the ponys there did to survive, but the answer was in the article. There are elevated areas and forests to hide in or on so they usually survive.
There are plenty of dunes over 20 feet high and several over a hundred feet high. The northern OBX is one giant dune field, from beach to sound, it seems hilly as a result. The inland dunes are typically covered with sand oak, live oak and bayberry, which stabilizes them and makes them good shelter for wild animals in storms.
Were you being sarcastic?
Don’t forget the word “wild” as in undomesticated; trust me burdensome doesn’t even begin to describe what a challenge that would be. Wild horses will panic when people mess with them, many would be injured and possibly die in the process.
I would be willing to bet far more would have been injured or died in that process than will be injured or die from the hurricane. Not to even mention the very real possibility of injuries or worse to the people that took part in such a process.
When wild horses are gathered and moved that takes some real planning on the part of those doing it; and it takes many people with experience dealing with wild horses. It is not something that just happens.
