Perhaps This Is The Largest...




...crowd to have seen a group of Corolla horses ridden at any point since the Civil War.

It very well could be. This is a fraction of the crowd at the Duck July 4 parade as it was leaving at the parade's conclusion. Manteo, Croatoan, Tradewind, Porter, and our Shackleford, Holland were the hit of the parade.

At the conclusion, a gentleman who operates a boarding and riding facility introduced himself and asked if it was really true that we actually had a stallion among the group that we were riding that day. I explained that we did not have a wild stallion in the group--we had three wild stallions in the group.

Saturday Abby rode Edward Teach bareback with only a rope halter. He is a wild stallion that was captured because of a life threatening wound that he picked up in a stallion fight. He behaved as if he was the proverbial "dead broke", twenty year old lesson horse that modern parents seek out for for their computer game playing, air conditioned laying around, junk food stuffing off spring.

"A Wild Corolla Horse--the Perfect Mount for Your Little Sissy Kid!"

No, I probably better keep working on a better slogan.
