Amazing Ammy

Ammy's Honour is one of our registered Newfoundland Pony stallions. The Newfoundland Pony Conservancy is a 501c3 organization working to save this unique breed from extinction.  Ammy is our poster pony, the epitome of strength and perserverance. 

When Ammy was 5 years old, he suffered a catastrophic injury, ending up with a broken right femur on his right rear leg, seen in this photo.We learned about Ammy's plight 4 months after his injury. When we saw him for the first time, we were shocked.  Their veterinarian had strongly advised euthanasia, which, while looking at him, was completely understandable. He was in terrible condition. He could barely walk. We took him, knowing full well that this rescue could end in utter heartache.
When our veterinarian looked at him she said "He is young, he is small, and his break has fused.  Let's give him a chance."  And so we did.  Hard to believe it, but that was 12 years ago.  Over that time, brave Ammy learned a new way to walk, and to even canter.  He had his challenges but all in all, he addressed and conquered almost every one. He is an inspiration, and his strong will to survive is admirable.
Ammy is a sweet, happy pony who is not in pain, and that outcome was the best of all. 
Our veterinarian and an animal physical therapist said that eventually his good joints would suffer, from having to hold all of his weight and being unbalanced. This would affect his quality of life. They both guessed he'd make it to his teens, but not much longer.
With only 500 Newfoundland Ponies left on the planet, being so rare (and being such an amazing Pony) we knew we had to breed him. Actually with a breed teetering on extinction, it is imperative that we breed. We tried Artificial Insemination with 2 different mares but that didn't work. Our vet said that we could try to have him breed a mare the normal way. Our vet was present as were helpers who were on every side of him. In 2021, Ammy and Storm had a beautiful filly. Her registered name is Ammy's Islay Storm and she is truly a miracle.  
Still, we remembered what the physical therapist and our vet said. Ammy is 18 now. We noticed that he was starting to slow down.  Then, last year, a kind person made a generous donation, and also turned us on to Summit Animal Health.
We decided to start Ammy on their highly regarded chondroitin product.  Within a week, there was a dramatic difference. Wow! 
Though he will always have his disability, the rest of his body moves like he is 10 years younger! The change was crazy and wonderful!
On top of his general improvement, Ammy will be able to breed this year, of course with our team of experts and helpers present. 
But wait, there is more! Summit Animal Health graciously offered to sponsor Ammy! On top of that, for product that is purchased through our web page's special link, Summit Animal Health, will make a 30% donation to the Conservancy!
