Let’s help ALMA stay wild. Read the story below to learn how to not let her get too cozy with humans.
We’ve been getting a ton of calls about two year old mare Alma - hopefully this post will help answer some questions and spread the word about what everyone can do to help us ensure she stays safe, healthy, and wild.
Of particular note, as you can see from the photo Alma has wounds on both sides of her face, probably from being bit. Our vet has been consulted and has advised that they are clean and healing well, and not anything to be too worried about. We will continue to remain in close contact with our vet but there is no reason at this point to be concerned for Alma’s physical well-being.
Earlier this spring, Alma was pushed out of the harem she born into. The stallion (who is most likely her father, but DNA will confirm) became aggressive towards her and would not let her get close to the rest of the mares. Alma is often alone on the beach and to human observers seems lost, which is understandably concerning. It may be difficult to see, but we have to remember that these are wild horses behaving naturally. It’s what eventually happens to each and every young horse, though Alma’s situation is a little unique.
Alma’s family lives in an area with a low population of horses - it’s just them for over a mile. Normally, a mare that’s pushed out of her harem would quickly be scooped up by another stallion but there just aren’t any other harems close by for Alma to assimilate into. The good news is she finally seems to be migrating north, towards more densely populated areas. We are keeping our fingers crossed that she comes across a welcoming group soon.
What we are most concerned about is the fact that Alma seems to be getting increasingly habituated. She’s been approaching and following people, and is getting very close to vehicles. We are asking that all visitors please do everything possible to discourage this behavior if you happen to encounter Alma. Get into your vehicle, wave your arms around to scare her away from you, and definitely do not pet her or give her any positive attention at all. We want Alma to be completely disinterested in humans - afraid of them, even. She is in a very vulnerable position right now, where she is young, impressionable, and unfortunately alone. We want her to be seeking out the company of other horses, not people.
As we head into another busy turnover weekend, please do us a favor if you are coming to the 4x4 and help us keep Alma wild. Her genes are invaluable to the herd and her removal due to habituation would be a devastating blow. We can’t afford to lose another young horse from the wild. Alma is healthy and in excellent physical shape, she just needs some time to mature and figure out how to be a grownup horse. If we’re going to share space with these horses and expect them to remain wild, we all have to be active participants in their management. Please give her plenty of space and help us ensure she stays wild and free for the rest of her life.
The season has started! Our two requests for this weekend and the rest of the summer:
1. Stay 50ft away from the horses at all times. If you’re 50ft away that means you aren’t feeding them or petting them or in danger of being kicked by an irritated mare, and everything is great! It’s really easy to do and you’ll have just as much fun, we promise. If you see someone breaking the law or engaging in dangerous behavior, please call 252-453-3633.
2. Learn about driving on the beach BEFORE you hit the sand: https://currituckcountync.gov/beach-parking/ Air. Down. Your. Tires. Have a Jeep? Cool. You still have to air down. A lifted F250 Super Duty? Neat. You also need to air down. An AWD Kia Sorento? Tell the tow truck driver we said hi. When you don’t air down you damage the beach and make it terribly difficult to drive on. It’s also really rough on vehicles (and backs 😫). You can stop at the lighthouse beach access to air down, and then swing into Whalehead and fill back up at the free pumps once you’re back on the pavement.
Thanks, and we hope everyone has a fun - and SAFE! - Memorial Day weekend! 🇺🇸🐎🏖
The view from HERE. no filter.
LOOK for it and you will FIND it. While we have the PRIVILEGE of getting away, it’s always a challenge to leave the hustle and bustle of regular life behind, but it’s a must.
This just caught my eye. It’s one of works of art on the wall in a guest room. Can you see it??? Zoom in. I found it! See the second photo.

After a full week of replacing our roof, meeting with power washing, cleaners and kitchen remodelers, I feel as if we are working hard to bring value to our guests. This art is on the wall at our local spot .obx.
Follow them and check on their hours and specials. Truly a unique value. And YOU won’t starve!!
I know when you come to the Outer Banks, you don’t want to ever leave. You may be thinking, “Na Imma Stay” You’re not alone.

Fall colors from the beach are brought anew every dawn. Today is windy and quite chilly, but the sky is clear and the sun is bright. The top deck is a great spot to welcome the day.
