Sable Island is the only emergent part of the outer Continental Shelf of eastern North America and located some 200km southeast of NovaScotia in the Atlantic Ocean. Also known as the Graveyard of the Atlantic the island is the site of over 475 shipwrecks since the early seventeenth century. Named after the island they inhabit, the island’s estimated 400 feral horses are the only mammals on Sable Island and live free from human interference, have no predators and know no fear.
In 1994, Roberto Dutesco began his film and photographic odyssey with the Wild Horses of Sable Island, capturing the images that have forever changed how many look at conservation efforts and the need to protect natural environments. His incredible 15 year journey was captured as a full length documentary entitled "Chasing Wild Horses".
