Canada’s Sable Island is home to the feral Sable Island Horse.
They likely descended from horses that were brought to the island for grazing in the 1700s. Pony-sized at only 13-14hh, the typical Sable Island Horse has a dark-coloured solid coat, narrow but deep-chested body, strong legs, and long mane and tail. The island’s horse population historically ranges from 200-500 horses.
