Newfoundland Pony Horses
The Newfoundland Pony originated in the Canadian province of
Newfoundland, after being bred from British stock such as the Welsh
Pony and the New Forest Pony. These Newfoundland Ponies became
well adjusted animals for a wide variety of uses. Newfoundland
Ponies are very strong, as well as intelligent, and easily trainable,
and in the heyday of the Newfoundland Pony, they were used across
Newfoundland mainly as beasts of burden. Newfoundland Ponies
became well adapted to the cold, wet environment of Newfoundland and
the surrounding coastal regions of Northern Canada.
Newfoundland Ponies these days are quite endangered,
and are carefully protected by organizations dedicated to their
survival as a breed. Like New Forest Ponies, a Newfoundland Pony
can be trained as a show pony for dressage, cross country, and other
equestrian sports, and are excellent at jumping. Newfoundland
Ponies are very carefully bred, and well-kept breeding information is
usually available in the case of Newfoundland Ponies for sale.
Despite being quite rare and endangered,
Newfoundland Ponies for sale can still be found, and are still
available at a relatively low cost compared to pure bred horses and
ponies. While they are making a comeback, finding a Newfoundland
Pony for sale can be a little difficult, although there is hope that
Newfoundland Ponies will be more readily available in the future, with
careful breeding.
