ASSATEAGUE ISLAND, Md. (WJZ) -- A new foal was born on Assateague Island Friday.
According to the National Park Service, a bay pinto colt, identified as N2BHS-ALR, was born to Ms Macky (N2BHS-AL).
NPS wanted to remind visitors to stay a minimum of a bus length away from the wild horses at all times.
