Ocracoke Pony Herd Welcomes New Member
Hazelnut was born on February 4, 2015 at approximately 10:00 a.m. and becomes the 17th member of the current Ocracoke Pony herd!
Her mother is Sacajawea, a mare from Shackleford Banks who joined the Ocracoke herd in 2010, and her father is Rayo, a direct descendant of the original Ocracoke ponies.
Hazelnut was named by the Volunteers-In-Park who work directly with the Ocracoke ponies. Born on a chilly February morning, she will not stray far from her mother’s side for at least 6 months and will join the rest of the herd sometime in the late summer of 2015.
