Exciting news! We are writing a children’s book! While there is still a lot of work to do, we are excited to share “The story of Fairwind: a year in the life of a wild Yukon foal”. Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to publication #wildhorses #childrensbook

Looking through some photos from last year and was so pleased to find these photos of Scout, Pippin, and Mystery. The family of wildies with so much heart. While they have faced tragedy with the Scout’s death, these photos are a good reminder of what we are trying to protect through our advocacy

🦋 intro:

The Sable Island project is a long-term individual-based study of feral/wild 🐴 in 🇨🇦. >1500 horses have been monitored yearly since 2007 (current pop size ~500). Research focusses primarily on the causes and consequences of ecological and individual variation. #ecology #evolution #consgen

Tamarack’s band continues to manage the Yukon winter. It always amazes me how deep the snow gets in the Yukon, and how it doesn’t seem to slow the wild horses down at all

Tamarack’s band was spotted searching for some nutrients today. As you can see, the snow in the Yukon is still quite high, so they’ve got their work cut out for them!
