Indigenous to the Newfoundland coastline after which they are named. Newfoundlands are robust ponies that have grazed upon Newfoundland's rugged, windswept terrain for hundreds of years.

A breed blended from the Exmoor, Dartmoor, Fell, Galloway, Connemara, Welsh Mountain and Highland ponies, they are adaptable, strong and steadfast, a well as good nature and very intelligent.
