About us
To meet a Newfoundland pony is to know a Newfoundland pony as unique, and not because they are very rare. They capture your heart instantly. Their individual personalities and genuine interest shine through as they welcome you into their world without question. This comes natural, and this is what people need to see, to learn to understand our mission.
OUR MISSION
The mission of the Newfoundland Pony Conservancy Center is to provide a safe haven for critically endangered Newfoundland Ponies, to save the breed through careful breeding, and to educate the public to the plight of these creatures.
Our concentration is on education, community outreach, breed preservation, mentoring.
Our efforts are all volunteer, and dependent on donations and grants from the general public.
While our mission includes breeding, we have never sold ponies.

What makes us different
The Newfoundland Pony Conservancy Center is a registered 501(c)(3) non profit. We aren't your typical rescue, just like the Newfoundland isn't your typical pony. Because of their status as critically endangered, there is a conservation aspect in all that we do and that includes perpetuating the breed.Hundreds of rescues exist to help horses that are in need of rescue, and we fully support and appreciate those efforts, but we are not just rescuers. We're breed stewards. As such, our responsibility includes not just helping Newfoundland ponies in difficult situations, but bringing the breed back from extinction without compromising what makes this pony so special.
The center currently has 2 proven stallions: Ammy's Honour, who is our farm ambassador; Osceola's Lucky Ace, a 2016 colt whose family lines were nearly extinct.
We have 2 other boys - Cabot's Stormin' Sam, born in 2019, and Emilio's Honour, born in 2020. Both are young and unproven. Both were born at the farm's previous location in Jaffrey, NH.
We have posthumously collected and stored semen from Vinland's Cabot Chapman, son of a foundation stallion, a beautiful pony who passed away in 2022. And thanks to USA breeder's emergency cooperative efforts, we also have posthumously collected and stored semen from Macosa's Dream.
DISCLAIMER: We are not involved with or affiliated with the now defunct Monadnock Agricultural Center, NEFA, NEFA1, and Equitable Farm Access in any way. Since September 2021 we have been happily affiliated with the Carl Dahl House in Gardner, Massachusetts.
