The Outer Banks welcomes the first foal of the new year! The fuzzy new addition is a male named Eros.
According to the Corolla Wild Horse Fund on Facebook, both Mom and Eros are doing fine. Experts believe Eros was about a week old when they discovered his arrival.
They went on to say, “Remember, if you are lucky enough to see them please keep your distance! Stress can cause all kinds of issues, including rejection and aggression from adults. Foals are also very impressionable at this age and habituate easily. It is very dangerous for you if the mare or stallion feels threatened...”
Births normally happen in March, and four to six foals are born each year to the 100-horse herd.
