Please! And stay well hydrated yourself!
The next two days are going to be hot, hot, hot! No one's gonna be in the mood for nonsense - not us, not the horses, and not the sheriff's department. Please give the horses plenty of space on the beach. They are down by the water trying to stay cool and away from the biting flies.
The heat is much harder on horses than the cold, and becoming overheated can cause a variety of issues that could potentially be fatal. Foals and older horses are especially susceptible to heat-related illness. Crowding and pressuring the horses causes them to move around more than they naturally would, which can result in dehydration and exhaustion. Give them 50ft at minimum and if they approach you please back away and do not encourage behavior that could lead to habituation.
If you witness people touching, feeding, or harassing the horses please call 252-453-3633 so that law enforcement can be dispatched.
Everyone stay safe out there! 🏖️
