In an email from Wild Horse Fund Executive Director, Karen McCalpin, a Stallion was found dead off of Ocean Pearl Road, apparently NOT from natural causes. Below is the early email sent out by Karen, more information will be provided as it becomes available.
A deceased stallion was found about 20 feet off Ocean Pearl Road about a ¼ mile north of the fire station. The horse had been dead for at least three days and was visible from the road. The Corolla Wild Horse Fund is consulting with veterinarians from the Department of Agriculture in Ivor, VA as well as veterinarians from NCSU in Raleigh. No cause of death was obvious but the state of horse and the location of the body did not indicate that it died of natural causes. We will continue to gather information.
