THE NEWFOUNDLAND PONY The Newfoundland Pony is an "all purpose" pony and has many desirable characteristics - strength, stamina, courage, intelligence, obedience, willingness and common sense. Newfoundland Ponies are hard workers and easy keepers. The ancestors of the Newfoundland Pony arrived with the island's early settlers from the British Isles. These ancestors were primarily Exmoor, Dartmoor and New Forest ponies and to a lesser extent Welsh Mountain, Galloway (now extinct) , Highland and Connemara ponies. They were hardy creatures, already well adapted to the harsh climate of the islands of the North Atlantic. Over subsequent centuries, and with little outside influence, the hardiest of these early pony immigrants to Newfoundland interbred and eventually evolved into one common pony type, now recognized as the Newfoundland Pony. In the past, the Newfoundland Pony was used to plough gardens, haul fishing nets and fish, kelp and wood, gather hay, and provide their families with transportation around the island. These functions were replaced by modern technology and the pony population plummeted. To protect this special and historic pony, the Newfoundland government has recognized it as a Heritage Animal. The current Newfoundland Pony population is estimated at 400 to 450 animals worldwide. An ongoing effort on the part of concerned individuals from across Canada has stabilized the population. However, the Newfoundland Pony continues to be identified as a critically endangered species by Rare Breeds Canada. Today, the Newfoundland Pony is used for riding, driving and light draft work. They make excellent mounts for children and adults and excel under saddle and harness. .

List of Horse Breeds 1 List of Horse Breeds
List of horse breeds 1 List of horse breeds This page is a list of horse and pony breeds, and also includes terms used to describe types of horse that are not breeds but are commonly mistaken for breeds. While there is no scientifically accepted definition of the term "breed,"[1] a breed is defined generally as having distinct true-breeding characteristics over a number of generations; its members may be called "purebred". In most cases, bloodlines of horse breeds are recorded with a breed registry. However, in horses, the concept is somewhat flexible, as open stud books are created for developing horse breeds that are not yet fully true-breeding. Registries also are considered the authority as to whether a given breed is listed as Light or saddle horse breeds a "horse" or a "pony". There are also a number of "color breed", sport horse, and gaited horse registries for horses with various phenotypes or other traits, which admit any animal fitting a given set of physical characteristics, even if there is little or no evidence of the trait being a true-breeding characteristic. Other recording entities or specialty organizations may recognize horses from multiple breeds, thus, for the purposes of this article, such animals are classified as a "type" rather than a "breed". The breeds and types listed here are those that already have a Wikipedia article. For a more extensive list, see the List of all horse breeds in DAD-IS. Heavy or draft horse breeds For additional information, see horse breed, horse breeding and the individual articles listed below.
