Membership

your support would be greatly appreciated

Everyday we struggle to get the Newfoundland Pony recognised as a breed. Your voice as breeder or an owner, added to ours would make the task much easier. We need to protect the pony and ensure that it is recognised and can be protected under and with breed status.

Join with us to make it happen!!!
