That would be very strange, since the horses only ventured out, even when the area around Duck or Corolla were relatively uninhabited, in the off-season. Certainly not mid-season, like now. Nor did they usually go to the beach, but wandered around the houses, dining in part on plants, and leaving evidence of their culinary enjoyment behind.
We've been there 7 times. In the last 3, they haven't shown up, and we've talked to several homeowners and merchants who said the small herds had moved further inland to avoid the influx of more houses and people.
Where did your friends stay--what town was nearby? Were they on one of the very few private beaches at the time, or the many public ones?
