This Labor Day Sunday, here's a twist on our feature: Greet the Guide. This peek at our man-with-a-mission, the face with with the fit, the "glad you're here" guy....is the Lefty. He's our a four-legged office charmer who enchants both his coworkers and our guests on the daily. Lefty's hometown is Corolla, NC where he shares his space with out tour guide extraordinaire, Jamie. Known to pal around with his favorite toy, Lambchop (minus a squeaker, chewed to freedom on a particularly slow May afternoon) Lefty can be seen working the gift shop for all the pets and snuggs a dog can stand. Lefty’s favorite work snack? Whatever you happen to be eating at the time.

We are often asked, "When is the best time to go and see the horses?" Because they are wild creatures, there is no definitive answer to that question. They go where they go when they want to go. Our job is to do everything within our power to make the experience a rewarding one for our guests.

But we will let you in on a little company secret--one of our favorite times to be on the beach, enjoying the ocean breezes, the stunning views, and exploring the sands are during our twilight tours. They are the last tours of the day, when evening just starts to settle in, silhouetting the dunes and if we are lucky, the horses too.. Things have a golden touch all around them. It's quite magical.
