Dec 12, 2007: it realy exciting reading about Sable Island

Dec 09, 2007: I have just discovered,"Sable Island".  It is absolutley beautiful.  I have been told a story early this morning, he said he was brought to Sable Island to do work and was stranded there for 2 months,instead of 2 weeks...and so I checked it out and everything he talked about,was on here.....That was well over 30 years ago.......He is going to bring pictures next weekend.

Nov 22, 2007: Why not plant trees on the island? These would give shelter for the horses during the extreme weather conditions as well attract birds.

Nov 21, 2007: Hello to the Green Horse Society:
I found your website off the Wikipedia entry for Sable Island, and subsequently spend hours leafing through it--it was a very enjoyable look into the Island. I'm currently studying birds for my MSc in British Columbia, and your page has made me want to find a way to do a PhD out on the island! Such a fantastic place! I saw your photos of the banded pigeon. If can read any of the band on your photos, you may want to contact the American Racing Pigeon Union--they may be able to identify the owner, or at least tell you something about where the bird came from. They have an excellent page explaining how to read pigeon bands and a form for notifying them if you've found a banded bird--http://www.pigeon.org/lostbirdinfo.htm.

Nov 20, 2007: Becouse, knowing  the horses names on sable island mackes it so much more interesting. Out of a herd of 300 horses you can pick out each individuale by its name and by its markings. And sense you know the name of a horse when you see new pics of it you can sea that the horse is still doing well. My faverite horse is Goblin,and Hobgoblin. But ive only seen a few pics of them. If you could post more pics of those to i would licke that very much.

Nov 15, 2007: Hello...my daughter's class is reading the "pit pony" and had to do a questionare about the story,so I googled "pit pony" to see what it was about...very interesting website..thank you

Nov 05, 2007: I just had a quick visit to your site, per an article in PEI's newspaper the Guardian on Monday Nov 5'th 2007.  Very informative site, I will come back again when I have more time and view the entire  website. It looks like a place I would love to see first hand some day. Great work on the site.

Nov 02, 2007: your web site is very intresting and would peak any visitors interest. I can very proudly claim that my grandmother was born on sable island where her father was stationed there as a light house keeper. i have fond memories of her stories of the island. i have always been fascinated with island in general. i hope to go through the proper chanels and get permission to visit the island.

Oct 30, 2007: aloha from honolulu, hawaii!
Thank you for an informative, interesting, educational, as well as breath-taking website of Sable Island! I am a "fan" of this beautiful magical island, your island!  I hope to visit next year ( Oct 2008) from Hawaii but in the meantime, I have enjoyed your website, photo's, history, resources, and have "spread" the word about Sable Island.  I would love to help, in any way I can.  If I may be of service to you, please call upon me, even if I'm in the middle of  the  Pacific Ocean! My co-workers are just a intruged as I am, with Sable Island. I am in contact with a very nice and kind gentleman who has e-mailed me more information. I appreciate his kindness.  I have also joined the SIP Trust, as a member.  I'm excited! Thank you very much again for your wonderful website!  aloha for now...  from my island to yours!

Oct 26, 2007: A very interesting and educational site. I've spent about an hour so far on this site and it would appear that I have many more hours of informative reading. Zoe, I'm happy to see you haven't lost any of your passion for Sable Island over these many years.

Oct 22, 2007: Aww they are all so very cute, and there names are so appropriate, I specifily like the name hobgoblin! ;) Wolfdawg

Oct 18, 2007: It's nice to see and read all of this information knowing Sable Island has not been forgotten.
My grandfather had lived on Sable Island as a young boy and my niece is named after the island. Thank you, Alisa Morris

Oct 16, 2007: great info and beautiful pics.

Oct 16, 2007: Amazing information from a family that has a home on Savery Island B.C. hugstt.

Oct 11, 2007: I  think  sable  island  is  a  great  place  to  stay  but  people  should  take  more  care  of  the  horeses.

Oct 11, 2007: Horse naming:I think the following might be appropriatee names:  
Miras foal-Meris; Merrimac foal-Minna-female-Marius-male; Ethne foal-Elna-female-Ely-male;
Ishi foal-Cassi; Santorini foal-Silva; Bo foal-Boris; Chaos foal-Cosmos.  Gloria Macdonald

Oct 10, 2007: hey sup i like your site keepo it up!!!!

Oct 04, 2007: your photos are so good of your lovely island I feel as if I had been there. Thank you so much --I would never be able to visit anywhere like that.It really is a treat. My neighbour is a friend of Susan Tooke and that is how I heard of Sable Island. Thanks, Margaret Thomas.

Oct 04, 2007: At work right now, so am just quickly looking at your website, ref'd by Susan Tooke's website. This is all very odd... my uncle, Capt. Paul W. Tooke, was at one time the captain of the Labrador (ice breaker) and I remember him telling me they delivered food to the ponies on Sable Island during the winter. I'll be back to visit when I'm at home!

Sep 24, 2007: Thank you for the very interesting information. My great great grandfather was the lighthouse keeper on Sable Island in the mid 1800's. It is so fascinating to read about it.

Sep 17, 2007: A fascinating, site full of great information. I watched a show on National Geographic last night on "how to catch a killer" it spiked my interest to learn more about Sable Island. As a Canadian, I am slightly embarressed to admit, I had never heard of this island before last night....
I will add to my places I want to visit before I die list....  Seeing wild horses, as island made of sand, and seals sounds like a beautiful place....
Great site, information and content easy to read.  Ajax Ontario

Sep 14, 2007: enjoyed your wed sight some day i would like to visit the island it is a true wild place but what keep it wild is its location keep people away hopefully that wont change.
thanks Fraser Agnew from nova scotia

Sep 14, 2007: Hi my names Allisha and I just learned about Sable Island in school today
I am hoping to learn more about it .My teacher perfured it as The Island of the Ponies. I would love to go there and see all the horses and also see what its like there.

Sep 07, 2007: I am so glad you developed this website!  I love horses! I pray man leaves this Island just the way it is!  God Bless & Keep, Warmest regards, Sherri

Sep 06, 2007: your site is amazing!!

Sep 03, 2007: I appreciate the place I find described on this website, which is very well written.  I have always felt a strong connection with islands, particularly remote ones.  Other favorites of mine are Nantucket and Monhegan. Best regards, Nate Lange, Newburgh, NY.

Aug 25, 2007: I found this site whilst searching for a name for my new horse.

Aug 11, 2007: I wish I could go here! I live in Halifax and this island fascinates me beyond belief...the isolation and the fact that wild horses are there is amazing! It is gorgeous. Simply beautiful.

Aug 08, 2007: Hi, I found Sable Island by looking at the Weather Channel Satellite for Maine.  I thought at first it might have been a moon shadow but as I zoomed in the words Sable Island appeared.  Having a love for nature and things that are around me.....I googled Sable Island and found this site.  What a wonderful place, pictures are beautiful.  Wish I could spend a week and absorb the beauty.  Terri

Aug 07, 2007: being maritime born and raised i have had a great love for the sable ponies and wanted to take a trip to the island not to bother the horses but to see them live but now it's just a dream of a 54 year old man but very sweet dreams im thinking of taking these pictures and have some one that can paint and have them framed for my wall. but please don't stop studing those beautiful horses. thank you.

Aug 03, 2007: Hello! great idea of color of this siyte!

Aug 01, 2007: has it ever happened or could it happen???? referring to a catagory 5 hurricane , if it were to get close enough to sable island , and sable island is only 13 feet above sea level , again has it ever happened that waves were large enough to completely cross over the island.?????    i read where somewhere in the tropics a storm was so severe that the people had to flee to the mountains and seek safety in caves. does sable island have any caves?? also , it seems that if there were any severe storms in past history , somehow the horses have survived. ok , enough questions.  thank you canada for taking care of this island. and this website is such that it seems , after looking at all of the pictures , that i was actually a visitor.          ,,,,,,,,,,,,  sincerely ,,,,,,, howard from pittsburgh , pa

Jul 31, 2007: Beautiful Place. Would love to visit. Mike L. Cambridge, VT

Jul 31, 2007: Beautiful Horses!  I really mean that =] Greetzz Dominique Schonhage From Holland

Jul 31, 2007: Thank you for posting all of this interesting information about one of Canada's unique areas. We have a lot to learn from Sable Island and your website allows us to live your experiences from afar.  See you, one day...  Gren - Montreal, QC

Jul 27, 2007: Amazing site! I love everything about it and can't wait to show it to my grandchildren. Thanks and gratitude to all those who are carrying on the research  and ensuring the preservation of this magnificent island.

Jul 23, 2007: We just want to see more pictures of horses!

Jul 20, 2007: Why not also plant a few tree species on the island...like some pines?

Jul 20, 2007: The horses are gorgeous.  Can't the government build some kind of shelter so that the horses can take cover during heavy rain or snow instead of just getting pelted by the elements?   Even some kind of hut with a good roof and a wall or two to duck the winds would be good for them.

Jul 18, 2007: Excellent and very informative. I rank it with NOAA sight or the Mt Washington observatory sight even better though. Thank you for the important work you do. Brian.

Jul 16, 2007: It's been a long time since I visited Sable Island (96), but I hope to return some day. It is a little piece of heaven and I am glad to see the folks there like Gerry and Zoe are keeping it that way. Sincerely, Mike Smith, ham radio operator "VE9AA" who was the leader of "CY0AA" 1996.

Jul 15, 2007: What an interesting site!  I found it while researching the "Morning Glory" - or in your case the Afternoon Glory?  I was aware of it being seen in Northern Australia but was amazed to see that it was also found in the Atlantic. Having read your article on the Glory - with it's fabulous photos - I then spent far longer than I planned reading everything else about Sable Island.  You really do have a very well set out website on a very interesting subject.  All best wishes for your activities in the future.

Jul 10, 2007: Thank you guys.

Jun 19, 2007: Like many other people (probably), I learned of the existence of Sable Island by reading The Perfect Storm. Perusing the web, I discovered this site. What a thoroughly fascinating and well-done website! The information and photos are marvelous, and nicely organized. What an interesting and valuable place: thank you for your stewardship and for having this website to share with the public.

Jun 15, 2007: Dear the green horse society, Your website is positively awesome! I love how you divided up the information into neat little categories. Well, I'm doing a project for school on Sable Island and Assateague Island, and your information and pictures would be great! If I could please have your permission to use them, that would be great! There are no good pictures of Sable Island other than your website, I was also wondering if I could use the information from your website too, I'd put it all into my own words of course, and site you for everything! If you could reply as soon as possible, my project is due on the 18th! please help me!

May 19, 2007: Great site and very informative.  I've learned quite a bit about Sable Island. As a lover of animals it was great to read about the fauna of the island...love the wild horses.  In one way I'm happy to hear that vistation has been restricted because everything stays as it is, however, on the other hand people who respect the environment and who love animals would definitely appreciate the beauty of this fantastic island. Thank you for your site.

May 17, 2007: Wonderful site - both the text and pictures! One of  these days I'd love to visit. I had no idea the island is so far off shore. Portsmouth, NH

April 21, 2007:  I'm very fascinated with this Website, it is so interesting.  & I now want to move to Sable Island :) But would have to bring all my horses.. They would LOVE it there, two of them would fit in perfectly as they look exactly like the horses of your island, they are named Gimli & Frank.  thanks for all the great info.  I look forward to stopping by quite often ..  Thanks..

April 16, 2007: Great, loved it. It was inspiring to read all the research that has been done on Sable Island. Thank you

Apr 16, 2007:  no use submitting comments.....doesn't appear that they get put on the web page. G

Apr 09, 2007: I have owned several horses in the past and own a 16.3 chestnut now his name is Audi.
To me a horse that is named is a horse that is loved, by naming your horse your giving him/her an identity. I have found that most people always ask my horses name and next time i see them they talk to him using his name. Knowing a horses name makes you feel closer to the horse plus of course they recognize their name and will look up,whinney or come to you and we all love that dont we.
I like this site which i found by accident as when i see pictures of horses i always like to know there names. Its also nice to see wild horses as the ones i see are domestic.

Apr 02, 2007: I found this island on Google Earth and I am always interested to inspect further.  Your site was very very interesting and informative.  I will check back from time to time.  

Mar 25, 2007: I was lucky to Sail to Sable Island with the Training Schooner Ocean Star in 1994 with proper permission. It was a trip I will never forget.

Mar 23, 2007: hey my natasha i love to go over to sable island someday and see all the horses.i love horses i have 2 horses they are really cute.well g2g  byebye. from:natasha

Mar 20, 2007: I had no idea .  If possible , I would be honored to visit.  Thank you so much for the enjoyment I've experienced from this site.   Sincerely
