What's Happening in 2020
CALENDAR OF EVENTS
COVID-19 & the Ponies - NPCC is following CDC guidelines to prevent the spread of Covid-19, taking it one day at a time to see what the future brings. We are currently not open to the public. Our #1 concern is everyone's health and welfare; we feel strongly that no corners should be cut. The ponies are safe and we are safe but all of us are bored and miss our fans.
No matter what Covid-19 did, know this - foals were born here and will be in 2021 too - these precious births even the virus can't cancel.
Stay home, stay well, and remember this:

"Conversations will not be cancelled
Relationships will not be cancelled
Love will not be cancelled
Songs will not be cancelled
Reading will not be cancelled
Self-care will not be cancelled
Hope will not be cancelled
May we lean into the good stuff that remains"

Heal the Heroes™ - Our health care workers are suffering a trauma like no other we have seen in this generation, a hidden predator not only take their patients lives one right after the other, but the lives of their co-workers as well. Health care workers, nurses, and doctors are considered healers and we wrongly assume healers heal themselves. Unfortunately, there is very little help available for them; these compassionate, dedicated medical workers have been overlooked far too long.
Now, more than ever, due to Covid-19, our healthcare heroes need our help and the Newfoundland ponies of NPCC are here to do just that, offering a unique, specially designed, life skills development program.
Heal the Heroes™ is a certified program run by a professionally trained and certified life skills development facilitator. Our facilitator is also an RN and lost 2 family members to Covid-19. Our facilitator can see the crisis from both sides, as a nurse and as a grieving family member
