Today in strange work done at #museums. These #SableIsland horse skulls needed a bit of cleaning before finding a home in the collection. You'd be surprised how much sand and maggot casings a horse skull can hold! GC – at Halifax, Nova Scotia

11 years ago, I wrote about a fascinating documentary that showed photographer Roberto Dutesco capturing images of the wild horses on Sable Island. I got to meet him, ahead of a fundraiser for @FriendsofSable. thechronicleherald.ca/lifest…

The government steamer Newfield sailed for Sable Island with 50 cats. They are to be used for killing rabbits, which are overrunning the Island. They burrow in the sand and make large holes in which the ponies break their legs. May 22 1889
