Spanish Mustangs On Carova Beach
On this pristine shoreline Wild Mustangs roam,
Over five hundred years it has been their home,
Their beauty and independence deserve our respect,
Their mere presence allows us to connect,
To Colonial times when Mustangs arrived on boats,
With Spanish Path Finders who were exploring the coast,
Of North Carolina shores, the Outer Banks the most,
Some horses were abandoned, others survived storm wrecked boats,
Mustangs have endured hurricanes, floods and developments of man,
Diseases, injuries and ignorant tourists racing through sand,
Uneducated visitors who feed them food of the junk brand,
Which can cause death and deplete this Wild Mustang Band.
These Mustangs are the oldest and the rarest of strains,
They are intelligent, strong with energy you can't contain,
Muscular and beautiful right down to their long manes,
And have innate instinct to be wild, no restrain.
Let them be wild, let them run free,
Let them be what they were born to be,
View them from a distance so you can see,
These Spanish Wild Mustangs completely free..
