This week, Kate talks about winter activities for kids 120 years ago in the Haliburton Highlands - especialy that iconic winter activity of ice skating. Plus, Paul has the story of Sable Island - a lonely, desolate sandbar of an island in the Atlantic Ocean over 300 km from land. It has a fascinating history going back to the 1500's including a failed colony of convict settlers, an estimated 350 shipwrecks, and the famous Sable Island wild horses. Today it's a tourist destination and nature reserve. Kate Butler is the Director of the Haliburton Highlands Museum. Paul Vorvis is the host of the Your Haliburton Morning Show 7 - 9 a.m. Fridays on Canoe FM 100.9 and streaming on your devices. Haliburton County is in cottage country about 2 1/2 hours north of Toronto. You can contact us at timewarp@canoefm.com

There's a small, sandy island off the coast of Nova Scotia where hundreds of horses run wild. They've been there since the 18th century, and are genetically unlike any other horse in the world. While these horses are beloved, an official animal of Nova Scotia, there have been voices over the years saying they're an invasive species that needs to be removed, as much for the sake of the island as for themselves. So what does the future look like for the Sable Island horse?Phillip McLoughlin, ecologist at the University of Saskatchewan who runs the Sable Island Horse Project, joins us.This episode was produced in collaboration with the Atlas Obscura Podcast - a show that brings listeners mind-blowing stories from fascinating places every weekday.

Canada's second-ever marine protected area has just turned 20 years old and the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic is hosting a birthday bash for it on Saturday. The Gully is located 40 kilometres off Sable Island and is home to rare species of sponges, whales and other sea creatures. Ahead of the celebration, ocean scientist Trevor Kenchington joins host Jeff Douglas to talk about what can be found in waters.

Bei Kapitänen war und ist Sable Island gefürchtet - eine der abgelegensten Inseln Kanadas im Atlantik, gut 180 km von der Ostküste entfernt. Hier treffen  der kalte Labradorstrom und der warme Golfstrom zusammen, weshalb die Insel ein Drittel des Jahres im dichten Nebel liegt und dutzende Schiffe  hier schon gestrandet oder gesunken sind. Die Gewässer rund um Sable Island gelten als einer der größten Schiffsfriedhöfe im Atlantik. Seit Kindertagen hat Arved Fuchs davon geträumt, seinen Fuß auf diese schmale Sandbank zu setzen, im Juni 2010 ist es ihm gelungen - dieser Besuch war einer der Höhepunkte der NORDATLANTIK-Tour; in der aktuellen Podcast-Folge erzählt Arved Fuchs ausführlich von diesem Abenteuer. Darüberhinaus berichtet er von den Planungen der diesjährigen Expedition, die immer konkreter werden. www.arved-fuchs.dewww.baerbel-fening.deNORDWOLLE produziert Funktionskleidung aus Wolle von heimischen Schafen, von der Mütze bis zu den Schuhen, sogar Bettdecken aus Wolle gehören zum Sortiment.Unter www.nordwolle.com kannst du dir alle Produkte angucken.Mit dem Code FUCHS10 bekommst du zur Zeit 10% Rabatt.

From the moment I first heard about Sable Island over 20 years ago, I was captivated and determined to go. There are currently only two ways to visit the island, by air or by sea. Wild horses, and the largest grey seal colony on Earth, are the only mammals found, aside from the few humans staying at Main Station. Last week was my third time visiting Sable Island.   In this episode, I reflect on what makes this place and these horses so special. The wild horses have not been interfered with or captured by man since the 1950s. They are protected and allowed to live out their lives as nature wants, not humans. This is my dream for all wild horses in America, it's what I'm fighting for, and I invite you to join me in this fight.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://www.wildhoofbeats.com/17

Julia Cathrine Monnin Ducray. Born Julia Monnin, her family was from Switzerland and they had emigrated to Pennsylvania. Living next to them in Pennsylvania, was the Ducray family. The Ducray's had boarded a steamship in France in 1839.  The journey was almost fatal for 15 year old Jean-Baptiste Ducray, his parents and eight brothers and sisters. Southeast of Nova Scotia, the steamship began taking on water. The passengers and crew feared they would sink and began to throw all of their possessions overboard. The Ducray family threw overboard their wooden chest containing $2,000 in gold and everything else they had brought with them. Jean-Baptiste's mother kept only a wooden cross bearing an ivory carving of Jesus.  The ship sank, and everyone from the ship was left shipwrecked on what is now known as Sable Island. They went days without food. They were starving, crazed. A passenger from the ship overheard the ship's crew planning to kill and eat Jean-Baptiste and his father. He hid them by burying them in sand. Luckily, only a day later, a passing ship rescued them. They arrived safely, settling in Pennsylvania, next to The Monnin family.  Julia and Jean-Baptiste Ducray fell in love and were married. When Jean-Baptiste and his brother Jean Claude went West to mine gold in California, it was barely a year into the gold rush.  He was 25 and Jean Claude was 16. They took the  Isthmus of Panama route.   This is the same trip made by Belle Cora, detailed in my book. The route saved thousands of miles and avoided the trip around the southern tip of South America's Cape Horn.  Starting in New York, they made a 2,000 mile voyage by ship to the Port of Chagres on the eastern Caribbean coast of Panama at the mouth of the Chagres river. They took a  bungo, a type of Panamanian canoe for $5 (just under 200 bucks today) for a  4 day river journey through the crocodile and jaguar bearing jungle. That was the easy part.  The men rode a 50-mile trail on mules through the steaming malaria, yellow fever, and cholera ridden jungle to the small outpost in Panama City. They waited there and caught a ship to San Francisco. Many forty-niners did not make this journey. The brothers had now survived two deadly passages together.  Upon arrival, like many immigrants of the time, the brothers Americanized their names. John B, and John C. Ducray.  The brothers traveled to Nevada City and set up camp along the Oregon Ravine on Oregon Hill.  Julia arrived soon, making the journey by wagon. The couple invested in mining and bought properties. In the spring of 1866 on a claim bought for $36 (almost $1300 today) and while cleaning up an old mudslide on the property, Julia's husband found 265 ounces of gold. Equalling over $5000, equivalent to almost $179k in 2023. Julia's husband Jean Baptiste, or John B, was a descendent of one of the Ducray Nine brothers, known for saving the life of the French King "Henry the Great" in the late 1590's. These nine brothers were knighted and awarded with villages besides the Jura Mountains in France. Their new villages contained hills, forests, orchards and beautiful meadows with flocks. John B was born in a medieval chateau at one of these family villages. It had a fountain, a Roman aqueduct and a mill, powered by the creek that ran through the village. He lived there until he was fifteen and learned about engineering the water flow and studied the geology of the nearby caves and quarry. His knowledge helped him later design wing dams and sluices for gold mining and irrigation on his own property. And his interest in geology and hydrology led to consulting on the first reservoir built for Nevada City's municipal water system.  On 35 acres of mining-stripped bedrock in Nevada City, the couple built a fourteen room, two-story home with five bedrooms and large parlors upstairs and downstairs on Orchard and upper broad streets  and re-created the nearly self-sufficient French farm that John B had grown up on. They planted vineyards and orchards of walnut, apple, pear, and almond trees. They had a single milk cow for providing milk, butter, and cheese. They kept honey bees and maintained four acres planted in clover for the cow and bees. They had a huge basement beneath the house that was useful for storing their produce and John B.'s wines and brandies. Julie planted large "cabbage roses"  around the home. It is said that the 150-year-old pear tree John B. planted there continues to bear delicious, giant Bartlett pears. John B. and Julia's home and orchards on Orchard Street are included in the first map of Nevada City, which was  hand-drawn in 1869. Orchard Street was in fact named for John B.'s orchards. For decades the couple would exhibit wines, brandies, honey in comb, peaches, pears, grapes, walnuts, almonds, buckwheat, string beans and potatoes at the local and State Fairs. They bartered or paid in gold for everything that they could not produce themselves. Julia and John B. were fast friends with the French pioneer nurseryman, horticulturist Felix Gillet upon his arrival in town. Felix had opened the town's first barber shop which sold French fineries including pens, stationery, and toys on Commercial Street, just below Pine Street. The couple inspired Felix to plant orchards, and he eventually established a world-renowned 20 acre nursery on Aristocracy Hill.  (Barren Hill Nursery) Nursery Street in Nevada City was named for Felix's nursery there.  Julia and John B. adopted niece Theresa and raised her as their own. The three of them led a happy life. They attended Saint Canice Catholic Church that was recently built and often went to the state fairs, often accompanied by Felix Gillet, who wrote about the events. Gillet often wrote magazine articles glorifying the Ducray's farm, orchards and produce. So did many newspapers of the time. John B passed away after a battle with pneumonia. Penicillin had not yet been developed. Julia was so heartbroken by his loss, she passed away four months later. They were laid to rest in Pioneer Cemetery, across Orchard Street from their home. They left all their properties to 21 year old adopted daughter Theresa Julia.  Felix Gillet and Theresa Julia grew a bond through grief and sorrow and were married.  The couple did not mind their difference in age, Felix was 32 years older than Julia Theresa, or height, Theresa Julia was taller. Theresa Julia took her middle name, perhaps in homage to her beloved Aunt. After they married, Felix added the second-story addition to his established Barren Hill Nursery on Nursery Street (named for his nursery) on Aristocracy Hill. Felix and Julia Theresa remained married for 17 years until Felix passed away in 1908. He also left his properties to Julia Theresa. She ran his Barren Hill Nursery (also known as Felix Gillet Nursery), with the help of head nurseryman George Dulac. Dulac was the son of the Ducrays' and Felix's good friends, Nevada City pioneers Louis and Manuela Dulac. She and George grew up in school together. They had been childhood friends since her arrival in Nevada City. They were married a year after Gillet's death. Theresa are laid to rest in Pioneer Cemetery, beside Jean-Baptiste, Julia Catherine and Felix.

I met Alan in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, in June of 2022. He sailed soon after to Sable Island and Newfoundland with John Kretschmer. We talk about sailing, radar, safety, fog, Sable Island, passage planning, reefing, marine traffic, a shipwreck he was involved in, commercial fishing, Lunenburg, Tapio Lehtinen's sinking ship, and much more.

While Fiona destroyed many dunes, the iconic dunes on Sable Island fared much better. We spoke to someone with the Sable Island National Park Reserve about how he wishes he was on the island for Fiona.

Sable Island is an isolated small Atlantic sandbar situated southeast of Halifax, Nova Scotia that is notable for its role in early Canadian history when France initiated the first attempts to settle on the island. The Viceroy of New France, Marquis de La Roche, sent soldiers and settlers (mainly criminals) to Sable Island to establish a fishery and fur trading post. When the convicts mutinied, they were left on the tree-less and stone-less Sable Island. Most of the settlers died, but a few managed to survive in mud dwellings for 5 years before being returned to France. Poorly planned, the settlement failed and was abandoned in 1603. Host Mark Vinet's special guest Eric Yanis of The Other States of America podcast tells this intriguing story.

Sable Island, a small island about 300km south of Halifax, is home to the Sable Island horse. The land, which is protected by Parks Canada, was just recently in the direct path of Hurricane Fiona, and as the dust settled, people were wondering if the horses were okay. To everyone's surprise, the horses are completely safe and didn't need any external intervention. To talk to us about these horses and the island itself, Alex is joined by Abbie Branchflower, Director of Education with Friends of Sable Island Society.

The Canada-Nova Scotia Offshore Petroleum Board recently put out a new report sharing environmental data for an area at least two hundred kilometers off the coast of Halifax, beyond Sable Island, and as far south as Lunenburg. A well-known advocate for marine protection, Susanna Fuller, questions the report's purpose and says it's time for Nova Scotia to officially shut down the province's offshore oil and gas industry.

Geographies of Solitude with Jacquelyn Mills moderated by Sean Van Wert in Toronto.Featuring a conversation with Jacquelyn Mills about her most recent film GEOGRAPHIES OF SOLITUDE.In GEOGRAPHIES OF SOLITUDE, Mills offers us an immersion into the rich ecosystem of Sable Island and the life of Zoe Lucas, an environmentalist who has lived over 40 years on this remote, sliver of land off the coast of Canada where she spends her life collecting, cleaning, and documenting marine litter that washes up on the islands' shore.Shot on 16mm, the film often incorporates eco-friendly filmmaking techniques to capture, in beautiful effect, Mills' encounters with Zoe Lucas and the Island. In this sense, Zoe Lucas and Sable Island are not “subjects” of the film, but collaborators and co-creators.We spoke with Jacquelyn Mills to learn more about her intuitive approach in making this film and the different ways she worked with her surroundings - including eco-friendly hand processing techniques like using plant emulsion, exposing parts of the film in moonlight and starlight, and placing specimens from Sable Island on film stock.Towards the end of the episode, we speak briefly about her previous film, IN THE WAVES, a touching portrait of the director's grandmother as she grieves the loss of a sister available to stream on Vimeo.

After the failed colony of Roberval the sailors of St. Malo and elsewhere continued a clandestine trade with the Natives. The St. Lawrence Iroquois mysteriously disappeared and the Innu at Tadoussac create a monopoly on the furs coming from the interior of the continent. France, enveloped in civil wars has few resources to settle their claim to the region, but when the price of fur skyrockets a few brave souls, and a few unwilling prisoners give it try... --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/osoa/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/osoa/support

Southeast of mainland Nova Scotia sits "Sable Island", a small crescent shaped island home to magnificent wild horses and one-of-a-kind wildlife. But with the potential impacts of climate change on sensitive coastal areas, can a small island made entirely of sand survive the forces of nature in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean? On this episode, we talk to scientists with new research examining the future of Sable Island.

Kitty Wilkins, the Horse Queen of IdahoGuest: Philip Homan, Catalog Librarian and Associate Professor at Idaho State University's Eli M. Oboler LibraryKittie Wilkins, known as the “Horse Queen of Idaho,” became a millionaire in the late 1800s thanks to being one of the most prolific horse traders in history. Trained as a classical pianist, she was refined—in no way a tomboy—and she capitalized on her femininity in her business dealings.  The Hidden Canadian Island Where Wild Horses RoamGuest: Zoe Lucas, President of Sable Island InstituteHome to more feral horses than people, Sable Island is a thin strip of land off the coast of Nova Scotia. Its history is rife with tales about shipwrecks and roaming sea merchants. Turns out, the island is also an important place for scientific observation. We spoke with Zoe Lucas, a Sable Island researcher, about the history and significance of this little-known place.

In this episode, Jen and Kim talk about their love for thrifting. Do you like to thrift too? Have you ever wondered where your new to you, cheap, rustic, antique item came from? Did someone think "this is my trash, but it will be someone else's treasure"? Or did it come from Granny's house after she died and no one in her family wanted the mothball scented, old trunk? The ladies talk about the haunted chair at Zak Bagan's Haunted Museum, the Basano Vase, the Haunted Bunk Beds and Sable Island, Squid Island and Piss Island (yeah we made that up). Tune into to hear what they thought of Basil Hayden's finished whiskey and a while new round of "Would You Rather"...

Historians believe the wild horses that live on Sable Island are descended from animals that were confiscated from the Acadians when the British expelled them from Nova Scotia in the late 1750s and 1760s. (Bill Freedman/Dalhousie University)

In this week’s episode, Elise has the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Phil McLoughlin, a central scientific figure in studying and protecting the wild horses of Sable Island.   Sable Island is a small, narrow strip of land off the coast of Nova Scotia, renowned for its history of countless shipwrecks and for the 550 wild horses who roam its 26 rugged miles. Considered by biologists to be home to one of the last herds of completely wild horses, Sable Island is a treasure trove for Population Ecologist, Dr. Phil McLoughlin, and his team from the University of Saskatchewan’s Department of Biology.   What’s so interesting about the wild horses of Sable Island is that there are a number of conflicting theories about how the horses came to be on the island. Did they swim there in the 1700s, following one of the island’s many shipwrecks, as a popular theory states? Or were they deliberately introduced to the island around that same period of time? Whatever the origins, the horses of Sable Island are incredibly hardy and thrive in an inhospitable environment and the herds are not managed or subject to human interference of any kind. This makes them incredibly interesting to study as they exhibit a true and natural range of both behavioral and physiological characteristics.   In today’s episode, Dr. McLoughlin shares his studies of these horses’ importance from a scientific perspective as well as their potential for providing meaningful data with broad-reaching uses within the horse world.   Topics of Discussion: [:18] About today’s guest. [1:41] Dr. McLoughlin’s thoughts about the horses’ (of Sable Island) origins, as well as the value of studying them. [6:40] How Sable Island horses compare to other horses of similar populations. [8:19] Advantages to studying these wild horses and why, in particular, it is especially of interest that they’ve never received any antibiotics. [11:37] The broader ramifications for understanding what Dr. McLoughlin (and his team) are observing, learning, and studying. And why Dr. McLoughlin originally became interested and invested in studying the horses of Sable Island. [16:33] Elise shouts out some recent listeners who have left nice reviews on the podcast! [18:03] What Dr. McLoughlin’s experience was like being in Niobe Thompson’s movie, Equus: The Story of the Horse. [20:02] How the conditions on the island have impacted how the horses live on the island. [24:05] Why is that the horses on Sable Island stick to their two coasts of the island? Especially with one being significantly more difficult to live on with the limited resources available to the horses? [29:40] How long are the lifespans of the horses of Sable Island? And what is the usual cause of death considering there are no natural predators for them? [31:37] Some of the rough conditions, such as the rough grass that wears the teeth down. [34:40] The similarities and differences between the parasites found on the Sable Island horses versus mainland horses. [37:37] Dr. McLoughlin’s thoughts on whether or not the island would exist as it is today if it wasn’t for the horses or if the horses are an invasive species, ultimately damaging the habitat of the island. [42:30] About Elise’s book, A Parent’s Guide to Riding Lessons! [43:57] From a biologist’s perspective, is there a difference between a domesticated, wild, or feral horse? [46:16] How the public’s view of the Sable Island horses has evolved over the years and how Dr. McLoughlin sees it evolving in the future. [53:30] About next week’s episode of Because of Horses! [54:21] Where to learn more about Sable Island and follow Dr. McLoughlin’s studies.   Know Someone Inspirational, Whose Life Has Been Forever Changed Because of Horses?

In this episode, we’ll hear from guest host Caroline Ballard from a fellow podcast called HumaNature, which tells stories where humans and our habitat meet. After passing Sable Island (a small island situated 190 nm southeast of Halifax, Nova Scotia) on their first Atlantic crossing, this is a short story of a family who traded life on land for a 25,000nm sea adventure. They share the tale of encountering strange noises in the middle of the night and how they were terrified at first, but eventually discovered the source, which turned into a unique, once-in-a-lifetime wildlife experience.

Jim Dempsey is the President of the Wooden Boat Museum of Newfoundland and Labrador. Jim has been around boats and the ocean all of his life. As a boy, he spent his summers on the beach where he always had a boat to row. After studying marine biology and oceanography at university, he was fortunate to be employed in his field for over forty years. He has worked along the entire British Columbia coast, in the Canadian Arctic, and from Sable Island to Hudson's Bay on the east coast. For Jim, the Wooden Boat Museum has provided a chance to realise a dream to build wooden boats. This experience has been enhanced by the people he has met, the places he has visited, and the stories he has heard. We talk about the joy of boat building, the growth of the Wooden Boat Museum, tourism and hands on programming, Wooden Boat conferences, the educational component of the Museum's work, and the importance of partnerships.
