Our first order of 25 fiberglass horses is arriving in January of 2025! We will have a mixture of stallions, foals, and rearing horses. Please contact us to be one of our very first sponsors!

These three fiberglass statue styles are now available to order. Included in your sponsorship package are your horse, shipping and handling, delivery to your door, ongoing support, an identification plaque with QR code, and inclusion in Outer Banks Press maps, books, other promotional materials, and special events. You will be part of a public art installation to benefit the Corolla Wild Horse Fund.

PUBLIC ART PROJECTS & related books

In early 2002, Outer Banks Press launched The Winged Horse Extravaganza, a public art installation celebrating the 2003 Centennial of Flight in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. From May 2002 through October 2004, 99 life-size ﬁberglass horses with aluminum aircraft wings were decorated and displayed throughout the Outer Banks. Almost 20 more were displayed off-island. Sponsors (either businesses or individual families) purchased a horse, commissioned an artist to decorate it and publicly displayed it for everyone to enjoy. [Some examples are in the gallery below.]

Outer Banks Press is launching a new horse project — again using ﬁberglass horses, this time without wings. This project differs from The Winged Horse Extravaganza in two distinct ways: end date and beneficiaries. Since this new installation is not in conjunction with any event, it will be open-ended, with plans to continue indefinitely. Furthermore, while The Winged Horse Extravaganza benefited more than thirty non-profits and charitable organizations, our new project has a single beneficiary: the Corolla Wild Horse Fund. Those with horses displayed from our prior project will receive recognition as Legacy Sponsors, provided they maintain their horses in acceptable condition.

In addition to sponsoring a new public art installation, we are publishing a large-format coffee-table book of Corolla's wild horses by Duck photographer Gayle Tiller, with proceeds benefiting the Corolla Wild Horse Fund.
