Come learn about the wild horses that live on Sable Island! We will use geography skills to locate where Sable Island is located. From there, we will explore the interesting history of the feral horses on the island. Topics will include how the horses got to the island, and what breeds make up the horses. We will learn about how a group of children saved these horses from extinction. Common characteristics of the ponies will be discussed. The class will explore what the horses eat on the island, and what other wildlife shares their space. This class follows a lecture and discussion format using pictures and slides. There are little pop up quizzes along the way. Participation through discussion is encouraged, but not required.
