After becoming a threat to visitors and employees, the stallion will be sent to a sanctuary in Texas, the National Park Service said.
Since 2017, the banished horse, a stallion known as Chip, has been involved in more than half of all incidents that have injured visitors to the Atlantic coast recreation site, the Assateague Island National Seashore said Monday in a statement.
Safety sometimes requires removal of a member of the herd, the park indicated Monday, but reports of such a step appear rare. In reporting Chip’s exile, the park described intractable behavioral problems. Chip, the park said, “had become increasingly aggressive towards park visitors and staff.” In addition, the “non-contact” methods used to move other horses out of potentially harmful situations did not work with Chip, the park said.
