Dear Tourists, welcome to Horse Behavior 101(I've trained a few, including mustangs): A. lock anything remotely foodlike in your car (or a bearproof container), they probably won't break into that. B. horses have sensitive weird digestive systems, your plastic, dinner rolls, dog food and other items can kill them with colic or founder. C. these horses live like horses, they speak Horse, which often involves kicking and biting. It doesn't hurt them, but you are much smaller and squishier. They are not afraid of you, but if you get in their way you might get sworn at, in Horse. D. relish the reality that we have wild horses, lock up your food, and enjoy from many horse lengths away.

This isn’t an “ATTACK”

That pony is named charcoal, please understand that these horses are wild and it’s their instinct to protect their herd. And it is a rule on Assateague to stay 40 feet away even if they are invading your campsite!

A nice stallion and his 3 pregnant mares great video

Horses more intelligent then these folks apparently.

'Attack' why go there if you don't understand is their land ... gosh

grown man getting major giggles... guuudniiight🤷🏿‍♂️

My girlfriend and I learn the hard way.... we thought putting the coolers under the table would be good enough. We lost half our food day one. All the chips, the buns, the bread, the apples and oranges, the potatoes. Gone. For this summer I got bear proof coolers and some steal padlocks

wow their fur patterns are beautiful

I have been going to assateague for more than 50 years. There are so many more people and they do some stupid things involving the horses.

I was at that campsite. The ponies galloped thru camp after dark. A paper towel blew away from me and a pony gobbled it up. There are small deer in the area called fell deer. Feeding them even unwillingly causes trouble. They stand in the road, nap on the beach, graze around in small herds

I'm driving down here coming weekend for my birthday! and these horses are the reason I'm choosing to go to Assateague 😍

The black one is a stallion he is protecting his herd so, I am not surprised by his herd getting in the way since it's their natural habitat so, what do people expect? Go somewhere else where there are no wild horses.

I see Sham and Precious!

Horses own this beach.

They are playing with the plastic not eating it and there was no attack. The lead stallion kicked out without making any contact to tell an underling to move. Common behavior and nothing to be concerned about. I was happy to see the woman toward the end not back away but instead wave her hat (I think it was a hat) at the pinto. Beat not to back away cause a horse establishes dominance when he is able to make a human or another horse move their feet.

Omg I was there a few days ago and those same horses came down to the beach and ate everyone's food! I'm damn sure they are the same horses, 3 females that are brown and white like that, and one brown male.

Horses saying. GET Off Of My Lawn!!

Quite ignorant that you all did nothing to prevent this.

Hi,Were you at the national park walk in sites?
