- Welcome back to our channel! Or if you’re new here--hello, hi, hei, moi--we’re Preston and Krista! In this video, we finally make our way to Assateague Island in search of the wild horses after hearing so much about it our whole lives! Assateague Island National Seashore is one of the few places in the US that you can still see wild horses up close. Aside from the wild horses, there are also so many other activities you can do there from camping, water sports, bird watching to hiking! Because these horses are wild and unpredictable, there is never any guarantee that you'll actually see them, so we were in for a huge surprise when we got there. To see what REALLY happened, make sure you watch the video to the end!

I have lived near Assateague since I was a kid and thought it was just normal to have horses at the beach. 😊 It was so nice to see you all so excited and being so respectful to the island and its inhabitants.
You two just made this blog wonderful, and excited.
Assateague is one of the most underrated places here in Maryland tbh. Quite a nice contrast from the overdeveloped and touristy Ocean City.
Guys this is the best video! Seeing your kids inside come out with excitement when you saw the horses and were running thowards them, made me tear up 🥰
The male you saw from the Life of the Forrest Trail was Corkey and the male on the Bayside beach was Assateague Phoenix.
My friend and I just came from Assateague and Chincoteague Islands on 9/24/2022. We got lucky and saw a group of 5 horses up close. The horses are majestic. However, 13 wild horses, including quality beach time is epic! What a wonderful experience. Thanks so much for sharing your day with us. I genuinely enjoyed watching this video. 🐎💕🐴
I'm glad you love Assateauge and I'm happy that you respect it I wish more people were like you
Assateague is amazing, glad you got to experience it. I recommend you try the kayak rentals from the same place that sells the ice cream to get away from the crowd. Next time you visit, stop in nearby Berlin, MD. It's a quaint old town with restaurants & shops, they received several travel awards including "Coolest Small Town in America" this year. Now that I've watched several of your videos (and subbed!) I think you'd both enjoy it quite a bit. We usually watch ponies after an early breakfast, then stop in Berlin on the way back to our place in OC to eat and shop. If you're REALLY adventurous you should see if you can rent a 4x4 to get out on the OSV (Over Sand Vehicle) area. It's a great all day activity. We usually drive down the beach as far as we can, then pick a spot to setup on the beach, we bring a small hibachi grill with charcoal and food to cook for lunch, & dinner, then before sunset we make a campfire and watch the stars. Assateage gets very dark (Bortle Class 2-3 levels of dark skies) to view the stars in the sky because it's far from the lights of Ocean City. If you're really lucky, you can time visits with rocket launches down south from Wallops, VA. If you need tips or places to stay let us know! :)
I was there just last week and posted a video, Assateague Island is a magic place, I felt like I was in fantasy island in book.
Same with us!!
Oh my god... I'm not sure which girl is more excited.
You two are so cute. I grew up with the Misty book too. I’m so happy that you had a chance to visit and share you experience.
Loved this video! I really like the energy and excitement from you two…I can’t wait for my trip to the island. Thanks for sharing and stay safe out there.
Excited for your future trip as well!
I am 52 and read allll the Misty books as a girl. Now I am introducing our 5 year-old granddaughter to the books. We must now plan a trip to the island. Thank you for this wonderful video!
Awesome video! We are going this weekend and your experience gives me hope that we will see horses. Thanks for sharing
My family tent camped at the State park side and saw the wild horses too. It’s so magical to see them so close
Yes it was!!
When I vacationed there. There were big dunes that separated the beach from the parking lot area. And there were pathways that visitors and the pony's used .😊😊😊❤❤
That's so cool! We saw that you're able to camp in the area and are gonna go sometime this summer! We can't wait. Awesome video!
Thank you so much and we wished we could've stayed longer!
Taking my 3 nieces tomorrow morning.Can't wait! Your video was wonderful!!!
Yay! Thank you and hope you all have a great time!
Hi Marianne, hope you are doing good?
The video is awesome! I really enjoyed watching it ❤️
I'm flying to New York tomorrow and then we're going to see the ponies too, hopefully we'll be as lucky as you.
Thanks for the tip, we will be there early :)
Excellent video. We went here the last 2 October(s) when we were at Rehoboth Beach. It was a great time and not many people about.
The neat thing about October is ...it is cooler and there are no lines anywhere. 👍
That's great to know!
oh my gosh thats so funny! i didnt think the horses would be on a crowded beach/all up in people's buis lol checking out videos because this june im staying at chincoteague for a few days then we're camping 2 nights at assateague state park, i hope i see as many horses as you guys! haha

Thank you!

Great Video!!

WOohoo!!
Hi! We loved your video, especially since we heard about the island on the radio and wanted to take a trip there. Being from out of state, but will be driving from VA, what address would you put in specifically to see the horses on the beach? I have been trying to do my own research, but without being from either VA or MD, its been hard to figure out how to get to there. Someone said you will only see horses on the beaches on the MD side, not the VA side- does anyone know if that’s true? I figured they’d be out and about, but just have no idea where we should drive to.
Nice
Thanks!!
When do they run?
Mustang y estos caballos los descendientes de nuestros caballos Españoles
A visitor went to see the horses a couple of years ago and had been warned NOT TO TOUCH THE WILD ANIMALS.
She didn't listen. She gave a baby pony an apple, and the baby died right in front of them.
Wild life determined that the baby CHOKED FROM THE APPLE....
ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING!!!
I never knew you had to pay to see them I saw them for free going and coming to work they would be every where blocking traffic pooping on the beach when people was having a picnic lmao 🥴 🥴 a horse will hurt you there territorial 🐎 🐎 🐎
So since all horses have ancestors that were domesticated by humans at some point in time, that means there’s actually no such thing as a “wild horse”, they would be referred to as “feral horses” you can only be a “wild” animal if your ancestors we’re never domesticated.
Thank you for this! Jesus Christ loves everyone and died on the cross for our Sins!!!
i actually live in ocean ciry maryland :) its beautiful, but just a reminder to all, do NOT interact with the horses! keep em wild!
Yes exactly!
