horses

 

The horses on Sable Island are wild and protected from humans. It is illegal to touch, feed or treat them.  They have suvrived on the island since the 1700s and have stocky bodies with thick woolly, shaggy coats.

Beautiful stamp! I think we are going to see a lot of horses on stamps this year!

My H-stamps are here.
