These mares joined the two geldings currently living on the island, which calls for a herd of five wild horses to roam the 2,164-acre site. According to Flathead Lake Parks Manager Jerry Sawyer, roughly 1,500 people typically visit the island from mid-June to mid-September. "The horses are really popular," he said. "Tourists come out, do some hiking and they want to see some wild horses."
