The wild Chincoteague ponies call this stretch of land and water their home. Visitors can camp in select areas. There's also horseback riding, swimming, kayaking, bird watching, boat tours, and more. Each year, the wild ponies swim across the
Assateague Channel and a select number are auctioned off. Don't miss the action.

3. Pryor Mountain Wild Mustang Center (Lovell, Wyoming): Wild horses, with Colonial Spanish American heritage, roam free in the Pryor Mountains. This herd is preserved thanks to the efforts of this wild mustang center. This educational institute is a public, nonprofit group that spreads awareness about wild horses. They offer tours, so that groups can catch a glimpse of these incredible animals.

Gather your family up and set out for a horse adventure! Each of these three destinations offers something for everyone. From hiking and bird watching to photographing wild horses and trail riding, these places are diverse in their activities!
