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, and understand our mission.
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. The center currently has 3 proven stallions: Ammy's Honour, who is our farm ambassador; Lucky Ace, a 2016 colt of almost extinct genetic lines; and Vinland's Cabot Chapman, who is another rare line stallion. Recent additions to our herd include colts Cabot's Stormin' Sam and Emilio's Honour, both born at the farm's previous location in Jaffrey, NH.
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.
DISCLAIMER: We are in no way, shape, or form involved with, or affiliated with, the Monadnock Agricultural Center or NEFA or NEFA1. Since September 2021 we have been happily affiliated with the Carl Dahl House in Gardner, Massachusetts.
