Assateague Island State Park is a beautiful and unique place, located on the eastern shore of Maryland. It is famous for its wild horses, which roam freely on the beaches and in the marshes. As I explored the park, I learned more about these horses and their history. The horses are believed to be descendants of horses that were brought to the island by early settlers and then left to roam free. The harsh environment of the island has led to some interesting adaptations by the horses, including their ability to drink salt water and their short stature. Overall, Assateague Island State Park is a fascinating place to visit and explore.
