A Haven for Wild Horses

By Linda Tancs

For hundreds of years wild horses have lived on the shores of Maryland’s Assateague Island, their native habitat preserved through miles of fencing to protect them against contact with contemporary means of transportation.  You can use those means, though, to meander peacefully among the sanctuary and observe them as nature intended, along with eagles, osprey, falcons, dolphins, sting rangs and a host of other species living along the coastline.  The Pony Express Nature Cruise is available now through 9 October.  Get there via Chincoteague, Virginia or Ocean City, Maryland, the gateways to Assateague.
