Beautiful 🇨🇦❤️ Sending love from Manchester UK
🙏🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴 Been praying 🙏 for the safety of The Ponies and the Guardians who were watching them on Sable island. Ty for the update. 🤗🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for update!! I was more worried about the ponies than anything else going around my home
Horses are fantastic at surviving, like most animals, super cool how they just know what to do :P
I'M SO GLAD THE WILD HORSES SURVIVED...
There's just something about wild horses. It's like travelling back in time
( I think you mean Wild Women)
Wild horses know how to take care of themselves in bad weather.❤️
Thank you for letting us know how things were doing on Sable Island. We live in Central Alberta and, of course, we don't get hurricanes. But we were thinking of the horses. All the school kids learn about them. So glad that everyone was okay and that the buildings and weather station will be repaired. Best of Luck to You All.🐎🐎❤🧡💛
So glad you all and horses were okay. That was a wicked storm. 😳
Thank you for reporting!!!
Kris calgary.
We here in AlbertA have a Wildies horse sanctuary also north by Sundre AB
Thank you! I was concerned for the horses.
This is the best news ever!
Fabulously happy you all are well ❤
Thanks for the update, we were wondering how they made out.
not surprised by the hardiness and survivability of our equine friends, when left to their own natural, instinctual devices.
I'm so grateful they survived! Was very worried about them. I didn't know there were houses on the island. I heard guardians would be staying with the horses 🐎 so of course I assumed they would be laying on top of the horses 🐎 to protect them while lying buried in the dunes so imagine my shock when the announcer just said the people stayed indoors with strict orders not to come out under any circumstances 😳. What kind of worthless guardians are those? I would have stayed outside with the horses 🐎 because it would be way too stressful and upsetting to be worrying about them 😕 indoors.
Good day from Ontario. So people live on Sable Island, interesting! I think horses would know were to go. Thanks
Wild horses & wild mustangs, they always seem to fascinate me. I guess that's because the sight of wild horses galloping across the plains conjures up images of the Wild West. Well, at least for me.
Me too!
Amazing how the sable island horses are so resilient!! I was so worried for them and kept checking for updates on how they did! So relieved!
I was worried about Sable Island. I thought the caretakers would be more vulnerable than the horses but glad everyone made it through. Better hope another system doesn't hit Sable Island while the structures are in disrepair.
Wild horses showing what strengths they have over unadapted humans.
Thanks for this. I was really concerned for the Sable Island ponies.
Glad to hear the horses fared well, I feel sorry for them, no one helps them.
Vinyl siding is inexpensive, looks good and goes up quickly but man, can it fly!
Wonderful news that there were no loss's ......

Animals are the best.
If us human beings had as much true freedom with responsibilty as wild horses do then we would be dying less often from natural disasters.
Spoiler alert: this video contains exactly no information about how the horses fared beyond the fact that at least some of them are still said to be there.
Exactly. I expected to hear about the horses 🐎 immediately and instead the guy was yapping about siding and structural damage. Disgusting! I will see if there is an American or Australian video update of this story. They will definitely give us way more information. I don't like CBC but I found myself watching CBC for the hurricane updates because this time the weather Channel did such a crappy job. CBC did pretty good. I wanted to know how the horses 🐎 survived, where they hid and how many survived. This guy answered none of these questions. He just went on about his stupid siding which I couldn't care less about. I care about the horses 🐎. This was just meaningless clickbait.
Great report. I didnt know wikd horses existed.
Merci
Sable Island is my true bucket list visit. I highly recommend an educational/informative historical romance, "Return to Sable" by author Jill Martin Bouteillier. This superbly tells the story of the Bouteillier family who basically run Sable Island in the late 1800's and early 20th Century. In 1905 a Marconi Wireless Station is established on Sable Island and with it the heroic Marconi Wireless Men arrive. The book also mentions Marconi Station Camperdown at Halifax, NS and the mega powerful Marconi Station at Table Head-Glace Bay, Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. One little book filled to overflowing with history as it really happened. Few books with a romantic lilt are so very well researched and sweetly told. It is incredibly ignorant of CBC TV to not turn this into a three or four part mini-drama.
Fantastic!
I knew my hair dryer reminded me of horses for a reason beyond seeming like the word “stable”
They've seen thousands of storms
Thoughts and prayers with you
not even wild horses could drag me awaaaaY!
Wild WIld WILD HORSES
I KNOW WELL RIDE THEM SOMEDAAAAY!!!!
So how are the horses doing BTW?
Did he just say “we’re ‘sussin’ that now’’? Haha
Sus
He ,100% did
I thought the title said "farted"
Mr. Weatherbee
They're feral horses, not wild.
What about clean non salted water for them
How did the horses of Sable fare then proceeds to talk about the houses and people and even the weather equipment with a 7 second bit on the horses, that is called click bait
Kinda hard to make a whole video around "They're fine."
@@GamesFromSpace He "assumes" they went here or there but it sounds like he has no idea nor has anyone done a head count so they do not know if all or what percentage survived. Also then do not put that as the title of the video, put "weather station on Sable Island suffers some damage" but no tug the emotional strings by dangling the animals in the title.
For sure
@@hommie789 Ditto! Totally Agree! This was disgusting clickbait with no information about the horses 🐎.
Someone call Amy!!!
Doesn’t look any worse than the mainland actually.
What are people doing on that island?
They are studying the horses from a distance and if necessary, treat any that badly need help medically. Otherwise they keep others from interfering with the horses as they are protected by law. They are caretakers and scientists
@@foxymacadoo They also maintain the airport. They will drive their truck down the beach to draw a runway in the sand!
There's a lot of natural gas underneath the island. They are helping to defeat Putin's invasion of Ukraine.
This story wasn’t really about the horses….
No it wasn't. It was about siding. Clickbait.
Why is Chef John of food foodwishes narrating?
Nah, it was iamasquidkid.
Nicely played, lol.
100 percent of the horses are also not on the dole unlike most of Atlantic canada
Underrated comment
@@vlogcity1111 Nope - it's just another example of someone in youtube comments stretching something to ridiculous lengths then twisting it around and inside out to try to make some lame, irrelevant political point.
This was nothing but clickbait where you just talked about siding, structural damage and weather instruments. That is how you should have titled your story instead of naming it Horses 🐎 of Sable Island. You never said how the horses 🐎 survived, where they hid and how many survived the hurricane. Shameless, disgusting clickbait! Thumbs down 👎
Think you guys should put a layer of masonry around your station. Done!
Yes 100% they should take the Insr $$ build a proper concrete building maybe a concrete kean too so those horses have wind blocker
Put cedar shingles on next time, vinyl siding sucks in storms like this if the property isn't sheltered
Can't take the salt.
Fire hazard
This wasnt about the wild horses...this was all about people....as per usual
I was disgusted with him going on about siding. Took forever to get to the horses 🐎 and then he really didn't tell us any information.
Sable Island is a big sand bar in the Atlantic. How is there enough fresh water to sustain hundreds of wild horses?
Good question. Must be a harsh and brutal life much of the time for them, stuck out there... marooned generations ago by irresponsible human beings. :(
Good question 🤔. I never thought of that.
There are multiple ponds on the island and the horse can also dig for water with their hooves. They've been living there since the 1700's.
@@Pikeswrath It think they have a pretty good life out there. Mild winter relative to most of Canada, lots of shelter, have survived for 500 years. They do have food shortages at times but the population keeps slowly rising so something has to control their numbers--up t0 500 now. There is one harsh fact of their life and that is they slowly starve to death in old aga because the tough grass they eat (maram grass?) wears down their teeth over time which leaves them unable to graze.
@@Mythos131 I guess there's enough rainfall to keep the ponds full. Thanks!
Feral horses. The only wild horses are in mongolia.
And what, pray tell, is your understanding of the word "feral"?
I am happy you removed your incorrect response to my question yet your incorrect post remains. 🤔
@@PhoenixHinds Christ what is that pfp?
@@PhoenixHinds for some reason they keep deleting info my post. At any rate look up the Przewalski’s horse. It’s the only true wild horse left on the planet. All other “wild” horses are of domesticated stock that have escaped. Not true wild. That would be like having your chihuahua run away and be called “a wild dog”. I didn’t know the difference until I went down a rabbit hole of horse information.
You learn something new everyday.
@@krisius1 Look up the asexual kleptogenesis of salamanders. Fascinating.
Was it worse than Hurricane Juan?
2 people died from this hurricane/storm
TWN: THE HORSES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, why not? People wanted to know what happened on Sable Island. So, TWN did a video. You may have noticed that they did a lot of videos on the storm and it’s aftermath.
Did the narrator have a cold or something?
Alternative unpopular title: Invasive species still thriving on island despite hurricane.
Excuse me, but did you ask them if they identified as horses?
Horseman
Thank god the horses are ok. Who cares about the people who are currently suffering am I right. Hahaha.....😅😑
Idiot
When will we rescue those poor horses from that sand bar. They're full of parasites and usually die if starvation. Those horses are suffering and our government thinks it's a good idea to leave them there like they're somehow native to the island.
Yup - they've been there for how many generations now - dying of starvation ....... And what exactly do you think is going to happen to them if they're 'rescued'? Are you going to take responsibility for them?
hmmm minced horse burgers sounds pretty good right now
You won't find them here, go to China
@@Mythos131 england
@@Mythos131 Horse is on the menu in Canada in several places. I've tried it, it's delicious. How does that make you feel?
@@jonk5669 It makes me feel that you don't know what you're talking about. Where is it on the menu in Canada? If it was real, it would be about the same as eating dogs and cats or sawing the top of the head of a live monkey and eating its brains. It's disgusting but there are disgusting people in the world and there will be long I'm gone.
I had a "steak" in a restaurant the other day. It still had marks on it where the jockey was hitting it.
The horses should be rescued from that island regardless. It's inhumane - we have this romantic idea of these wild horses, but they were essentially abandoned there centuries ago by men. It's not their natural habitat. The herd is only 500 or so - the amount of inbreeding is damaging them genetically. The poor nutrition from the available grasses on that island makes their immune system prone to infection. The tough grass wears down their teeth to the point where the biggest cause of death on older horses is starvation because they can no longer feed themselves. They also inadvertently consume sand when grazing which clogs their digestion systems. Why condemn these horse to such a harsh life, pain and agonizing deaths just because we think wild horses on an island is neat?
Okay, so - round'm up and slaughter them, then.
Horses.😐.
This is the society we now live in ….
Dogs, cats, horses are out in par with humans. I could care less about the wild horses, I’m concerned about my fellow human beings. I’m really getting sick of how animals are being elevated in our society.
You sound like a lovely person!!!
You're a special singular individual in a unique and curious category as opposed to most who do care. You sound like you've got your mind cornered as being your #1 fan.
These are EXACTLY the responses I expected! Ad-hominem attacks and trying to degrade humans to the level of animals.
Its usually people who don’t want to better themselves as human beings who form a close bond or affinity to animals, especially dogs. Become a better human being, maybe then you could have better relationships with your parents, grandparents, siblings, children, grandchildren, uncles, aunts, in-laws, nieces, nephews, friends, neighbours, congregation, colleagues and acquaintances…. That would require becoming a better human, instead of directing your emotions to an animal.
What an ignorant thing to say!!!! We need the animals and the ability to live in harmony with them. Sadly it is the mentality such as yours that is destroying this planet!
@@badjimmy2561 I think maybe the point he was trying to make is that humans around the world are dying due to disease, famine, criminal activity, and war just to name a few causes. Most people seem not to blink at that but put some animals in distress on the news and everyone these days is falling over themselves to show their "humanity". Just an observation.
Merci
