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.

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.

@SethGreene531 You described the existence of these horses so well...I really appreciate your comments...thanks so much!!🤗
@faith2hope4love You're welcome.☺️
Thank you, for sharing this beauty. Reminds me of similar locations worldwide, with rare species thriving in isolation -- Shackleford Banks, NC; Assateague Island; The Galapagos; portions of the UK.

@SethGreene531 It would be amazing to visit other locations where wild horses and other rare species live...like the ones you have mentioned!!🤔💖
@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.🤗
