Following in my dad’s footsteps. Yesterday we purchased a circa 1830 inn 30 minutes from the Outer Banks in North Carolina. We will begin hosting weddings in 2024. Reach out for details.
Ever wonder what happens to Paws Cottages“ less than perfect used bedding?” We donate it to area animal shelters and rescues. Today I dropped off a Suburban full of bedding to the Currituck Animal Shelter. I spent some time in the kitten room and was seriously impressed by this little kitten’s technique. 😍 I pray that she gets adopted soon. The shelter is open on Saturdays and is FULL of pets looking for their forever homes. Please consider stopping by on your way home and adopting your new furever friend. 🐕🐾🐈⬛
This beautiful young wild stallion was hit by a vehicle and left to suffer from his injuries. He was humanly euthanized to end his suffering. Please be careful when driving in the 4x4 area. Rest in Peace Thicket. 💔🐴
Yesterday morning we received a call about a horse that had not moved in some time, and was not bearing any weight on his front left leg. One of our staff went to the location and found 9-year-old stallion Thicket as reported. He was unable to put any weight on his leg and was unwilling to move. Our staff person also noticed pieces of a vehicle (shards of plastic from a turn signal, and pieces of plastic fender) on the road next to Thicket.
We immediately sent photos and video to our vet, and then reached out to the sheriff’s department. While we consulted with the vet, deputies went to the location and spoke with the people occupying nearby houses and examined the site of the incident. Unfortunately none of the houses had outdoor security cameras and no one witnessed anything the night before.
Meanwhile, under the direction of our vet, we made the decision to capture and remove Thicket from the wild to further assess what was obviously a very serious injury. He was sedated once inside the trailer to make the trip a bit easier for him, and taken to the CWHF farm on the mainland. Once there, he was given pain medication and an anti-inflammatory and put into a quiet stall with hay, water, and a fan. Today x-rays confirmed our fear - that Thicket had badly fractured his elbow. This was consistent with the trauma we suspected, as were multiple, significant lacerations on his shoulder and face. The height and location of these injuries were also consistent with a vehicle impact. Due to the severity of the injuries and concerns for his quality of life, we made the decision to euthanize Thicket.
We will probably never know who hit Thicket, or why they didn’t call 911 to report it so that we could have responded sooner. We hope that it was truly an accident; that it wasn’t due to alcohol or reckless driving. But to be honest, we keep asking ourselves what kind of person could hurt a horse that badly and then just leave them there to suffer?
Thicket was a young stallion in the prime of his life, and in the last year had obtained a harem of four mares. It takes a lot of strength, maturity, and good instincts to be a successful harem stallion. Not all of them are capable of it. We were so proud of him, and excited about the prospect of new foals. It’s a devastating loss for the herd, and heartbreaking for those of us who have watched Thicket grow up.
These horses face so many natural challenges that we can’t control, it’s critical that we don’t add to those challenges with things we can control. It is up to every person who sets foot on the 4x4 beach to be responsible, respectful, and law-abiding. Your actions have consequences that are more far-reaching than you’ve probably ever imagined. How many future generations of Banker horses died with Thicket today? We can’t afford to lose a single member of this endangered herd due to human irresponsibility.
Please slow down. Please do not feed or pet the horses. Please call 911 immediately if you witness horses in danger or distress.
Rest free, Thicket. 💔

Thanksgiving Fun
Our 3 generations of family members (+ 2 dogs) had a wonderful stay at Paws and Claws for Thanksgiving week. The house is very clean and well appointed - the top floor is the main hangout space with a gorgeous view of the beach. The beach in Corolla is lovely and we were lucky enough to see some horses one morning! Our hosts were very thoughtful and made sure all of our needs were met. 5 stars - we all loved it.

Had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday at Paws and Keep Calm!!

The wild horses were doing the walk of shame back up to the 4x4 this morning. They walked right by the beach access at Paws and Claws. Don’t they know this isn’t the season to be naughty! 🎅🎄

These pups have been waiting sooooo long for their forever homes. The Currituck Animal Shelter is on your way to and from the OBX. Stop by and find your forever family pet. 🐾
Lo, Mountain, and Mojo have all been with us for over 300 days, which is a long time to live in a shelter kennel. We need everyone's help meeting a very special goal - finding homes for these three dogs who have been with us the longest!
We're calling on the community to help us through the power of social media! These pups deserve a very special spotlight and we are asking for as many shares as possible to help us find the families they've been waiting for! We ask that all questions be directed directly to shelter staff at 252-453-8682. Please don't hesitate to call - we love getting to know our shelter pets and would love to speak with potential adopters to see if one of these handsome boys might be the right fit for you! If not, we have many other dogs available and would love to play matchmaker.
Want to meet these Good Boys in person? Come visit us during adoption hours - we'll bring each pup out to meet you!
Information for our 4x4 Paws guests.
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.
Are you looking for a furever friend? The Currituck Animal Shelter is filled with dogs looking for a home. It’s also on your way to the Outer Banks and open during Saturday turnover. Stop by and find the perfect dog for your family.
The Corolla wild horses were on CBS Sunday Morning this morning. Stay up in the 4x4 area and experience where they roam free. 4x4 Paws (7bedroom, semi oceanfront) is now booking one year out and accepting soft holds (waitlist) for weeks beyond one year.
