The Provincial Horse of Nova Scotia
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-colored 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.
