ATTN: Foal separated from her mom following disturbance by visitors

🐎 Visitors and boaters are advised to stay several hundred yards away from the foal’s social group 🐎

Please read the full post for a happy ending. On the afternoon of Saturday, May 10th a group of four horses, including a mom and 6 day-old foal, were grazing along the shores of Deep Creek, Rachel Carson Reserve. The presence of motorboats close to the shore, paddlers in Deep Creek, and people on foot caused stress for the male horse (stallion) and he quickly herded the foal’s mother across Deep Creek and to the west, leaving the foal behind on the east bank.

Over the next few hours, the stallion continued to herd the remaining group members to the west further away from the foal, who was alone and whinnying for her mother. Herd manager Paula Gillikin and volunteer Miriam Sutton were onsite to ensure visitors were aware not to approach the horses, to ensure a better chance of reunification. The foal stood on an oyster rock for a few hours with the tide rising when Gillikin made the decision to move the foal by boat back to its mother, as young foals need to nurse multiple times per hour. Plus, sundown would’ve made a reunion more difficult.

About 6pm, foal and mom were reunited! Based on this event, we ask that visitors on foot and boaters (even in Taylor’s Creek) give the foal’s social group several hundred yards of space. We realize visitors and boaters are excited about seeing the new baby, but we need your help to ensure it can survive.
