Kay Hagan (D- N.C.) and Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.) for introducing leg- islation to protect the free- roaming wild horses living on the Outer Banks in Currituck County. The Corolla Wild Horses Protection Act, S.3448, au- thorizes the Secretary of the Interior to enter into a new agreement with the Corolla Wild Horse Fund, Currituck County, and the state of North Carolina to provide for the management of wild horses in and around the Currituck National Wildlife Refuge. “These iconic horses have played an important role in North Carolina’s history, and it is vital that they continue to flourish for years to come,” said Nancy Perry, senior vice president of ASPCA Govern- ment Relations. “The management agree- ment creates a safety net so that the Corolla horses will be able to thrive in their natural habitat in the event of a dis- ease outbreak, natural disas- ter, or other similar threat.” The Corolla wild horse herd can be traced back to the arrival of Spanish explorers on the Outer Banks in the 16th century. Despite access to roam across 7,500 acres of public and private land, the current law caps the maxi- mum number of horses at 60, a population deemed too low to maintain the herd’s genetic viability. The Corolla Wild Horses Protection Act allows for a herd of no fewer than 110 hors- es, with a target population between 120 and 130 horses.
