A nearly 30-year-old wild horse died in North Carolina’s Outer Banks, with experts pointing to extreme temperatures as a factor.
"Hazel lived and died as every wild horse should - free, and on her own terms," the Corolla Wild Horse Fund wrote on Facebook. "We will miss seeing her on the beach but take comfort in knowing she lived a great life and left a huge mark on the herd." The fund wrote that Hazel enjoyed her role as an "honorary grandmother" to foals from various groups – or harems – of the horses. The group identified several of Hazel’s offspring as well, and they "expect to find more" as they continue to collect DNA samples from the herd.More Related News
