When did the horses of sable island become used for coal mining?

The Sable Island Ponies were not used for coal mining. The first of these horses are thought to have been survivors of shipwrecks, or that they were sent there for breeding and pasture. Later, the horses that the British seized from the Acadians were purchased and transported there in 1760. The only group of Sable Island Ponies ever taken from the island now live in Shubenacadie Wildlife Park on the mainland of Nova Scotia. Most ponies that were used for coal mining were Shetland Ponies, which are smaller than the Sable Island Ponies.
