Leaving Hoof Prints In The Sand

Leaving Hoof Prints In The Sand

I remember the time:
I could feel the wind in my hair,
I could face fear without care
I could jump the fences that limited me

I remember the time:
I new love and trusted with all my heart.
I new the truth and believed with all my spirit
I new that no fences could constrain me

I see myself today:
I feel that wind and time is blowing by
I feel the need to be cautious and secure.
I sense the fences confining any hope of adventure

I believe I will hold faith and love again
I believe I will grasp courage and trust again
I believe I will soon run with the wild horses again
Oh, how I wish to run with wild bankers

The Banker horse is a tough breed that has survived hurricanes, scorching heat, bloodthirsty insects, and winter storms while living on coarse sea grasses and digging in the sand for fresh According to the report, “Genetic Analysis of the Feral Horse Populations of the Outer Banks” written by Gus Cothran, Ph. D. from the University of Kentucky, “Corolla herd has only 29 alleles, among the lowest number of any horse population.” That means there is less genetic diversity among the Corolla group than any other group of horses. Rather than being feral horses with a mixture of domestic breeds, “they are in effect “a breed unto themselves.”water. They are descendents of horses brought to the islands centuries ago by Spanish explorers.

The physical characteristics of the Banker are very similar to many Spanish breeds. These horses are compact in size, usually 14 -15.2 hands high and weigh about 800-1000 pounds. They have broad foreheads with a straight or slightly convex profile, short backs, strong croups with high to medium-low tail sets, and long silky manes and tails
