Location: Betsy Dowdy Equine Center, 102 Young Rider Lane, Grandy

Meet some of the Outer Banks’ most remarkable residents during a special morning at the Corolla Wild Horse Fund’s rescue farm. Take a walking tour to see rescued Banker horses, talk with their caretakers, and learn about the work that goes into protecting this treasured herd.
Free screenings of The Secret of Corolla, a 32-minute documentary exploring the horses and the island’s culture, begin at 10 a.m. and 11 a.m., each followed by a staff question-and-answer session. Browse the farmhouse gift shop for shirts, hats, and gifts supporting the Fund, or learn how to sponsor a horse.
Before you go: Children must remain with an adult. Wear closed-toe shoes suitable for a working farm. Outside food, horse treats, and pet dogs are not permitted; service dogs are welcome. Entry gates close at 12:45 p.m. Check for updates before traveling, as dangerous weather or horse-care emergencies may affect the event.
