The critically endangered Newfoundland Pony is unlike any other pony.
Shaped for generations by the people, climate, and rugged landscape of Newfoundland, this critically endangered landrace developed remarkable hardiness, intelligence, versatility, and a natural connection with people.
The Newfoundland Pony: What You Need to Know is a practical handbook for anyone who owns, cares for, breeds, works with, or simply wants to understand this extraordinary breed.
Drawing on years of hands-on experience with Newfoundland Ponies and conservation work, Emily Chetkowski explains the things owners most need to know-from feeding, weight management, shelter, health, training, and herd relationships to genetics, breeding decisions, and the preservation of rare bloodlines.
Just as importantly, this book explains why the Newfoundland Pony should not be managed like just another horse or reshaped to fit modern expectations.
Caring for a rare breed means understanding what made it rare, what made it survive, and what must be protected for the future.
The Newfoundland Pony does not need to be redesigned. It needs to be understood.
