Federal law requires an annual report on the status of the herd at Cape Lookout National Seashore, and the latest says there are 114 horses on Shackleford Banks, according to a news release. Five foals were born in 2009; one died shortly after birth. Four young horses were removed to go to adoptive homes.

Six older horses died last year. At least two foals are expected this spring.
