Newfoundland Pony

The Newfoundland Pony Society (NPS) is a dedicated organization established in 1981, with the mandate to protect and promote the heritage of the Newfoundland Pony breed, recognized as a vital part of Newfoundland and Labrador's cultural history. As a registered charity, NPS plays a crucial role in maintaining the Newfoundland Pony Registry under the Heritage Animal Act, ensuring the breed's continued existence and appreciation. The Society encourages the registration of qualified stock and foals, provides advisory assistance to breeders, and emphasizes the value of these ponies through various initiatives.

NPS is involved in breeding stock selection, inspection of colts, and facilitating the adoption of displaced ponies, while also promoting interest in the breed through educational resources and community outreach. Their mission is further supported by a variety of fundraising activities and a commitment to collaborate with other organizations to enhance the preservation efforts for this cherished breed. Through initiatives like the Herdbook and Breeders Directory, the NPS continues to safeguard the legacy of the Newfoundland Pony for future generations.
