At the number 8th spot in our list of states that produce the most horses in America we have North Carolina. Once the wild horses of North Carolina’s outer banks roamed freely along the coastal areas. However, with time these horses have been tamed and are very well-known throughout America. The Spanish Mustang horses are the most prolific among all the other breeds of horses found in North Carolina. The rugged landscape of North Carolina produced a rugged and agile beast, and that is why we love them so much.
