Even to people who have never been here, Assateague’s wild horses are well known. The wild horses on Assateague are actually feral animals, descendants of domestic animals that have reverted to the wild. They are tough enough to for the scorching heat, abundant mosquitoes, stormy weather and poor quality food found on this remote barrier island.
