Corolla Wild Horse Fund Hires New Herd Manager

After an extensive search process, Executive Director, Karen McCalpin, announces that the CWHF has selected a new herd manager. Below is an email introducing their selection, Wesley Stallings:

I am pleased to announce that Wesley Stallings of Louisburg, NC will be assuming the position of Herd Manager as of May 25. We had many qualified candidates and our decision was made based on which candidate met the majority of the most heavily weighted requirements of the job. Wesley will be relocating with his wife, daughter, and their horse. Wes’s background includes positions as Park Service Supervisor for Franklin County Parks and Recreation; Assistant Manager of the Senator Bob Martin Eastern Agricultural Center in Williamston, as well as a Farm Manager. Wesley has shown horses in the American Quarter Horse Association circuit, started colts, attended horse shoeing school in Oklahoma, and has extensive experience in herd health and nutrition. He currently operates his own business installing and repairing underground irrigation systems. We look forward to welcoming Wesley and his family to the Outer Banks.

Wesley is planning on brining his horse with him and is looking for property where he can keep the horse. Preferably this would be a house and acreage. If anyone knows of such a property for sale or lease, please contact me. Also, Dawn Stallings will be looking for work in the Social Work field. She has been a social worker at a domestic violence shelter for about ten years.



Once Wesley is here and settled, we will host a “meet and greet” to give everyone an opportunity to spend some time getting to know Wes.
