I Love Horses

Sable Island is a small island situated 300 km southeast of Halifax, Nova Scotia. It is famous for the wild horses that roam free on the island.
Such magnificient beauties!! Love them horses...Is that why they call them by Sable breed? 🤔

That black stallion reminds me of one of my fav childhood books, Black Beauty!

@Vivaci Yes, I guess I am a bit of a free spirit!! Lol
I love the horse meme...I can relate to it as well!!😊😉
@faith2hope4love Glad you agree...same here! lol..

@Vivaci We definitely love our horses...they represent all that is wild and free!!🤗
Smiling. Nice to know such places still exist. I had never heard of Sable Island. My family had a wild pony from Assateague Island,Maryland/Virginia. (The island is 37 miles long and the northern 2/3 is Maryland, the lower third Virginia).

@Mamapolo2016 Thank you for sharing..the ponies are beautiful and Assateague Island must be beautiful as well!! 😊
Their survival despite the elements, is astounding.
Beautiful, in their rare persistence against the ravages of time, and nature.

Worthy of UNESCO designation and special protections.

What began as a tragic abandonment; grew to become a jewel in the crown of the Atlantic, over some 500 years.

A travel must.
@faith2hope4love Seems they are actually common, some in national parks even. Much for the same reasons as the Sable Island.

Do you/have you, ridden horseback? You should try it, given your passion and interest. Theres even places where you can volunteer your time to care and work with them.

@SethGreene531 I was surprised to learn they also roam free in areas of Alberta, Sask, and BC. Such beautiful animals deserve the right to be protected and cared for. Hoping to find some way that I can help. No, I have not ridden horseback yet but would love to have the opportunity. Thank you for your suggestions and comments!!🤗
That's amazing. I'd no idea.

You're most welcome.🤗
It's a lovely place and close to my heart and home

It is not easy to visit the island but well worth the effort.

@faith2hope4love You're welcome. Was always a fan.

Do you know how they got there?
faith2hope4love · 56-60, F
@Finegent

They are very hardy animals surviving on little vegetation in winter and no trees for shelter.
Majestic animals 🐎
faith2hope4love · 56-60, F
Yes, they are...wild and free!!🐎 @BridgeOvertroubledWaters
@faith2hope4love niegh ... :)
Any idea how they got there?
@faith2hope4love so why waste such valuable animals like that?
faith2hope4love · 56-60, F
@ImperialAerosolKidFromEP I know, it is sad that they live in such a wild and untamed environment. Somehow they have managed to survive all these years...herd is about 500.
