The Wild Horses of Assateague Island.
This is the Wild Horses of Assateague Island. They do a lot of different things and cool things. If
you keep reading you’ll learn about the Horses of Assateague Island.
The Wild Horses of Assateague Island walk through the shallow narrow end of the channel and
they get sold off to people.
The horses go out into the water to go see the people and then they swim back into the water
and then they go back to their island and do their business.
The humans help the horses as much as they can, but sometimes the horses that are sick or
weak don’t survive so the people can’t help them.
Sometimes you don’t know how wild the horses could be and they swim at slack tide. During the
17 century free-roaming horses, cows, sheep, and pigs caused expensive crop damage to local farms.

This is what The Wild Horses of Assateague Island are like and what the humans do to help them
and see them.
