A report that appeared today in Delmarva Now says they are presumed dead.
No problems though, mares outnumber studs on the island by a margin of almost three to one according to the census from November 2018. Can’t possibly be related to the ‘humane management practices’ sanctioned by the Park Service and supported by most of the wild horse ‘advocates.’
The report also indicated that (only) four of the mares were in foal.
