I think they're habituated to having people, vehicles & houses around, but
they're not tame.
The original horses were abandoned on the Carolina coast around 500 years ago. I
believe they came from shipwrecks along the coast & being left behind by failed
colonization efforts.

I agree. Are the Mustangs "people" attuned? There is a forgotten village south
of here (Kaapsehoop) where horses were simply left to fend for themselves when
people abandoned their smallholdings. The place is mostly a tourist attraction
nowadays. The horses are very tame. Enjoy your 4x4 adventures & the Mustangs.

Very nice shot.
It’s interesting the way that your crop included the metal marker, rather than
cropping in tight on the horse or doing a faux pano to crop out the signage.
It really shows that it is at the interface of settled and wild.

Spanish Mustang - one of the wild horses on North Carolina's Outer Banks. The
horses are descended from horses dumped off ships that ran aground on the
shoal waters around the North Carolina coast back during the age of
exploration (1500s)
I went down there yesterday (Juneteenth) to get a season parking permit for
the 4WD beach, because it's the only place in North Carolina I know where I
can use the 4WD on my Jeep. I'm not crazy about off-roading, but I might need
the skill if I ever get to make my photo safari to the Southwest U.S.
Plus, there are the wild horses to photograph.
And they seemed to be able to drag you away to the beach.
