Newfoundland Ponies: Besuch bei Mrs. Netta LeDrew im Change Islands Newfoundland Pony Refuge!
Früher war das Newfoundland Pony in der kanadischen Provinz ein unentbehrliches Arbeitstier. In den fünfziger und sechziger Jahren machten Motorschlitten und Gesetze ihm fast den Garaus. Inzwischen steigt die Zahl dieser gutmütigen Pferdchen wieder, dank der Anstrengungen von Menschen wie Netta LeDrew auf Change Islands. Am Rand Kanadas führt Netta das Change Islands Newfoundland Pony Refuge. Dort unterhält sie u.a. ein erfolgreiches Zuchtprogramm:

Peace and Ponies in Change Islands - #SplitTheRock
Yeah, you've heard me talk about this place more than once. Change Islands, in Central Newfoundland, is one of my favourite places in the world. I only got to spend a day here back in July, but it'll tide me over for awhile.
We also stopped and chatted with Netta LeDrew, a strong advocate for the Newfoundland ponies. They're a critically endangered species, and they're magnificent.

Newfoundland - Change Islands
We went to Change Islands by accident. Not enough room on the ferry to go all the way to Farewell. We were so glad we did. Stayed in a lovely B and B - all meals provided - did a walking trail along the rugged coast - and visited Peter Porter's excellent museum.

Newfoundland Pony Sanctuary (Cappahayden)
Elizabeth Chafe has always loved being around Newfoundland ponies. She sees them as sensitive, hard-working animals with lots of personality. Growing up in the Goulds, ponies were part of her everyday life. She helped care for them, and they helped the family with chores and transportation. In the late 1960s, as rural Newfoundland saw the need for ponies drop with the rise of modernity, Liz watched as this animal swiftly came under threat.
More recently, as the breed's welfare and population numbers continued to decline, Liz decided to do something to help protect them. She purchased some land in Cappahayden, cleared it, fenced it, built a barn, and started a sanctuary. All this with little money, and little help. After years of endless work, Liz is still dedicated to her animals. Though she sometimes has to turn away ponies who need a home, there can still be anywhere between 7 and 12 in her care full-time. This video is a tribute to Liz, her dedication, and her daily work to help the animal that was almost left behind by changing times.
Horse Islands, Newfoundland - 2017
On a trip out to Newfoundland this fall, I was able to visit the beautiful island my mom was born and raised on. No one lives there anymore, so we had the whole island to ourselves.
