The horses roam freely throughout everyone's campsites & are easy to find/see. Last year, the first time we went to Assateague, we pulled-in at dark & got up early for the kids to see the ocean for the first time. As we crested the sand dune behind our TT 5-7 horses were on the beach/in the ocean with a young colt. I think the wind helps them escape from the flies...
Later, the horses scavenged for food throughout the CG & especially did well turning a tenter's campsite upside down. One grabbed the tenter's keys, causing the guy to panic, but the horse eventually spit them out. My kids still talk about that one!
Assateague veterans told us they have come for years & have not seen the horses on the actual beach/water's edge. This year we saw the horses a couple times per day but never on the actual beach, just in the CG area & marshes.
