In April, the Senate approved the Corolla Wild Horse Protection Act, an amendment sponsored by Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC) and Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC). The amendment takes actions to ensure the genetic diversity and viability of the herd so that these horses are not lost forever. The amendment also allows the Corolla Wild Horse Fund to manage the herd at no cost to taxpayers. The amendment passed by voice vote, but Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) voted neigh.

The passage of the Corolla wild horse amendment garnered coverage from numerous North Carolina outlets including the Morganton News Herald, Elizabeth City Daily Advance and ABC Greenville.
