Sable Island
Pony
The Sable Island Pony, also known as the Sable Island Horse, is a type of feral horse found on Sable Island, an island off the coast of Nova Scotia, Canada. The first horses were brought to the island for pasture in the late eighteenth century, and additional horses were later transported to improve the herd's breeding stock. The horses are protected by law in their feral state. The horses live only at Sable Island and at the Shubenacadie Wildlife Park in nearby Shubenacadie. The latter herd is descended from horses removed from the island in the 1950s.
