Horses of the Chilcotin..

Courtesy of the Cariboo Regional District:

On Wednesday, May 15 at 7 p.m., the Cariboo Regional District’s Williams Lake Area Branch Library will be hosting Mr. David Williams who will be speaking about the wild horses of the Chilcotin. The presentation, which will take place in the Library’s Programme Room, will focus on his 12 years of research into the origins and conservation values of the Brittany Triangle horses and their role in the ecosystem.

The Brittany Triangle area is home to roughly 200 wild, genetically distinct horses. These horses have experienced dramatic environmental changes over the past ten years, yet continue to thrive and maintain their numbers. There are currently between 800 and 1,000 wild or free-roaming horses in the Chilcotin including those in the Brittany Triangle.

For further information, please contact the Cariboo Regional District Library in Williams Lake at 250-392-3630 or visit the website at cln.bc.ca.
