| Wild Feral Horses Of Assateague Island |
 |  |  |  |
| wild feral horses that roam Assateague Island. During spring or summertime you'll find them gracefully grazing upon the dune grass and leafy vegetation that is so very plentiful. They are peaceful creatures living in harmony. People don't seem to bother the majority of them. However, I have come across a few that were extremely shy and tend to stay hidden within the marsh. Visiting the island has become a passion for me. Seeing these wild horses live the way they do is an incredible experience. Assateague Island National Seashore and Assateague Island State Park was established in 1965 to preserve the 37 mile long barrier island and surrounding waters. It is located off the eastern coast of Maryland. Herds of feral horses, ponies, sika deer and whitetails are just a few of the wild animals living on this beautiful island. The wetlands provide refuge for an abundance of waterfowl. Dwarf pines, sand dunes, cacti, permisson trees, beaches and marshes provide the perfect habitat for the wildlife that call Assateague Island their home. |
