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 as safe as we can be, but all of us are bored and miss our fans.
There is good news though - No matter what Covid-19 does, we have will 2 foals born this year - these precious births even the virus can't cancel. One is expected any day now and the other is due early summer. We will keep you posted on the foals and what we will have to offer to the community as soon as we know.
Thank you for caring about the pony and for following CDC guidelines.
Stay home and stay well!

NEW - 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 run by a certified life skills development facilitator who is also an empathetic RN and lost 2 family members to Covid-19.
On top of that this program is free of charge to our frontline heroes; it is our humble way of saying thank you for being you.
More announcements to come...
Start date - June 1st.
