hardiness of an Arab/Mustang and the agility of a Jack Russell Terrier"

Skeeter

From an estimated population of 12,000 in the 1970s, pony numbers dropped to fewer than 200 in the 1980s.
 The population declined rapidly due to a number of factors:   
         ->machinery took over the jobs once performed by the ponies;
         ->municipal by-laws were enacted limiting breeding and the availability of pastures; 
         ->owners were encouraged to have stallions gelded; 
         ->thousands of Newfoundland Ponies were sold to meat processing plants in Quebec, 
                              which then sold the meat to Belgium and France for human consumption.                                                                     

This exceptional animal, that for over 400 years had helped Newfoundlanders secure a place in the New World, almost disappeared.                           
There are NOW only approximately 500 ponies in exhistence today!!!!!
