The Assateague Island Alliance reported 78 horses on the Maryland side of the island as of January 4, no change from December.
The current roster shows band affiliation but does not indicate sex.
New foals probably won’t be hitting the ground for another six to eight weeks.
The herd shows little if any growth since 2016, when the safe, proven and reversible fertility control program was shut off, a result that will please most of the advocates.
Others will realize that the herd has been ruined by the Montana Solution and the nitwits who promote it.
