The horse was deadly on North Carolina Beach, driver accused of DWI

One non -profit is to remember a “very special young horse” that the authorities said that was killed by a reduced SUV driver on a North Carolina -Strand.

On Saturday, June 14, about 12 o’clock, the Currituck County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) responded to a conversation about a “collision” between a vehicle and a horse at the county’s milepost 19 control point.

The horse “killed on the influence” when a 26-year-old driver, Shannon Seamster, beat the animal with its Chevrolet Tahoe, CCSO wrote on Facebook. Seamster’s vehicle was then towed, and she was accused of DWI and issued a $ 2500 secured bond, per office.

CCSO then announced Corolla Wild Horse Fund (CWHF) Ideel, which posted a tribute to the 5-year-old horse on June 14.

A spokesman for CCSO did not immediately respond to people’s request for further information on Sunday 15 June.

The driver is facing an incorrect fee and was later released from the Currituck Detection Center after publishing Bond, according to local journalist Sam Walker’s Patreon.

The horse has since been identified as Alexander, a 5-year-old stallion, which CWHF wrote was “met and killed on the beach.”

The non -profit organization, which often publishes photos of horses that went around a local beach in North Carolina, shared three pictures of Alexander by the water when it published a tribute. “Currently we have no further details to share the nature of the collision or driver; it is in the hands of law enforcement,” CWHF wrote. “We want to be extremely cautious so as not to speculate or spread error information.”

“What we can say for sure right now is that this is a huge loss for the crew and for us who are close to these horses and work so hard to protect them,” the organization added. “Alex was a very special young horse, and much extra effort went to keep him wild and free.”

According to non -profit, Alexander survived his first two years of life “despite some extraordinary challenges” and eventually “grew up to a beautiful young stallion” with “a bright future ahead of him.”

The horse was also part of a “critically threatened” population. CHF’s mission is “to protect, preserve and responsibly deal with” the crew of Corolla wild horses on the northernmost currituck external banks and to “promote the continued preservation of (it) the country as permanent sanctuary” for horses, per its Website.

“He was the last of his mother’s offspring and we had high hopes that he would continue the family line,” wrote non -profit organizations. “Alex’s genetics can never be replaced and in a critically threatened population it is a devastating blow.”

The Horse Fund encouraged the locals to “let this tragedy act as a reminder to be extremely careful when driving at 4×4.”

“Be aware of your surroundings and drive slowly and gently – especially at night,” the group added.
