My little filly regularely shocks me. She is so odd at times it scares me. But one thing she loves to do, no matter what, is go over to the lake. It reminds her much of the ocean or canals at Corolla. Or at least I got that impression when I first brought her home in December and she dove into it in the 30 degree weather.
I have seen numerous pictures of the Corollas in canals during winter eating the grass that grows up. They have the thickest fur and are most tolerant for the cold water or ice.
She loves to get in the cattails and run through them getting the fuzz all over her. I have seen a Corolla in the dunes next to some wild grass that was letting off stuff all through his fur as he rubbed his head playfully in it.
Matoaka prefers to run in the thick sand rather than on the hard ground. Go to Corolla and you will see the herd running along the beach, their speed unnaffected by the sand, and there beauty as amazing as ever.
Matoaka will always remember and love the beach. The Corolla Wild Horses own that ground but due to many things in the developing enviroment around them, they are being driven from it.
They were here before us and they DESERVE to be here long after us.
This picture is of Matoaka's "Ocean."
Very nice blog. I look forward to hearing more about your Corolla.
