Apr 13, 2008: I think you should tell people what breeds the horses are

 

Apr 11, 2008: Hi there from south shields united kingdom spent some time on venture platform and could see sable island from there and your web site is brilliant very informative thanks Derek Seymour U.K

 

Apr 07, 2008: Thank you for keeping the island alive,well and of interest.  It is an important element in my family history.  My great-grandfather was Superintendent in the early-mid 1900's.  My grandfather, who spent several years as a child on the island, is still living.  He is my idol.  I care for him daily.  My last (3rd) daughter is named Sable, in his honor. I have three great uncles, and one great aunt, still living - all of whom spent years as children on Sable.  It is my dream to someday, soon, visit Sable.  Andrea, Halifax, Nova Scotia

 

Apr 07, 2008: Sable Island is serenity & life.  The pictures are amazing, the horses are majestic & knowing.  Keep up the work to keep it functioning & alive. karen

 

Apr 07, 2008: I recently watched the lovely documentary on Sable Island. Thank you so much to the Sable Island staff, Zoe and Jerry, for allowing Mr. Dutesco capture the animal history of this magical place. All my life, I have had this dream to live far away on an island, ride horses and care for the land. I had no idea this place actually existed. What's more, I learned that in order for the beauty to continue, people have to be kept from living on a place like this. It gave me so much to consider.  Another coincidence is that my first daughter is named Sable. I named her Sable after the colour - blackish brown and smooth, like sand. I had heard that there was an island named Sable, but I didnt even know it was in Canada, my beloved home. Needless to say, I learned so much, gained so much knowledge and held onto to so much lasting beauty from this piece. Bravo to Bravo ! and Bravo to you, Sable Island, may your beauty continue, unabated.

Apr 06, 2008: I just finished watching the TV program on the Wild Horses of Sable Island and photographer Roberto Dutesco.  I am a commercial, editorial, and wedding photographer in the Vancouver, BC. area.  Congratulations on a great website.. lots of info and great photos.  Keep up the good work in your society. Trevor Batstone.

 

Apr 06, 2008: I was just watching a show about these horses on channel 27. I dont remember the mans name but he took such beautiful pictures. At the end of the show they showed around his gallery. "The Wild Horses Of Sable Island" He took such amazing pictures. I loved the one where one horse... it kindve looked like he was kissing the other one. And one more where two were splashing in the water!!! I am so passionate about horses. But I dont have any of my own. So watching shows about horses is fun cause I love seeing them. I love to be around them at ranches where you go on trail rides and at camps...like Circle Square Ranch and stuff. There were so many assigned activities and lots of things to do there, but the horses were about the only thing I ever looked forward to every day when I woke up for the whole week at camp. My horse was a little stubborn be he was really beautiful, big and brown. His name was chauncey. Anyway I liked watching this show because I liked watching the wild horses be free and doing there own thing! Hannah  winnipeg, mb

 

Apr 06, 2008: I would guess that the interest in the horses names is due to the wish to be able to name one of these lovely animals - sort of a distant attachment to a creature so untouched by our world.  I have so enjoyed the photos on the website.....

Mar 27, 2008: SABLE ISLAND ROX HARD!!! -Addison .J

 

Mar 24, 2008: I have always been fascinated with Sable Island and it's occupents. My ancestors are from Newfoundland (Bay Roberts). Last year my sister and I visited "The Rock". The only members of our family to return to our roots. It was astounding! My only regret is that I never made it to Sable Island. Some day!!! But in the mean time, I greatly appreciate the ability to view the wonderful sights on line, especially the horses. THANK YOU !

 

Mar 23, 2008: While living in the southern U.S., I had come across information on Sable Island and had always been curious on how it came to be.Sadly, it wasn't until I moved away that I had gained awareness that Sable Island even existed , (moved from Fredericton) This site is very informative and I have truly enjoyed the information and photo's.I do have a question .Is there any evidence that the horses swim?

 

Mar 21, 2008: Sable Island has to be one of the most amazing places on the planet. Thank you for creating such an informative and detailed website. To see horses living so naturally is truly wonderful. The Organic Team at Stone Circle Livery.

 

Feb 21, 2008: A truly beautiful site!  Sable Island is filled with a mystique and a special beauty all its own.  Truly a Canadian treasure!!!  Hopefully the Canadian Government will see the wisdom in continuing to preserve Sable Island as a Canadian Heritage Site!  If there is a financial impact involved, perhaps steps could be taken to arrange guided educational tours of Sable Island so that Canadians can experience firsthand and celebrate the wonder of this location.

Feb 19, 2008: this is a lovely site with beautiful pictures. and gives a lot of information about Sable Island. Jaya

 

Feb 17, 2008: I'm glad to find you! I read this site's review on 'Touching wild horses', and I'm happy that a documentary was my first contact with the island, not the film! (On Discovery channel CA, about the greenland shark and the odd bite marks on seals). In 2003, I entered the world of horses. I began care for one, and I have much to explore. Magic, my mare, got me thinking about her history, her sacrifices, her discoveries, all that horses made possible for me, and all humans. I am very interested in wild horses. I know that there are almost no 'real' wild horses, except in Mongolia were they where re-bred and re-introduced.   When I saw this documentary, I was curious; I did not know of Sable Island. In here, I  found most of what I wanted, except maybe a full-length documentary on the subject...   I am worried. With the climate change, and many studies about it's mechanisms, I can only fear our future. Mankind has little time left to make massive changes, and the faster it's needed, the more time governments take to think about these changes. I wouldn't mind seeing humans disappear from Earth, but I do mind about the other living creatures, like horses...    I hope I can leave Magic a planet she can still live on... Montreal, Quebec.

Jan 28, 2008: Great web site. I was wondering if the ponies are fed by the government in the wintertime, I mean is there hay dropped off to them by ships? The Sable Island Pony resembles the Newfoundland Pony. I own Newfoundland Ponies. I was also wondering if any of the Sable Island Ponies are ever captured and brought over to the mainland? Thank you kindly...Debbie
