NL PONY HERITAGE PASTURE
South River / Cupids
The newly developed NL Pony Heritage Pasture is located at the crown of the hill in South River overlooking the towns of both South River and Cupids. This pasture is managed by a group of local NL pony owners. It is open from June 1st. to late September / early October and houses a herd of beautiful NL ponies only.
The pasture is open to the public for viewing the NL ponies, keeping in mind that they are PROTECTED under the Animal protection Act. Most importantly is the fact that the NL pony is the only official Heritage animal for the province and is still on the critically endangered list with only about 250 remaining in NL and approximately 450 worldwide.
You can obtain more information on the NL pony and directions to this pasture at the Town Hall in South River (Monday to Friday) or by contacting our resident tour guides, Tammy at 222-9566 / Byron at 222-0121.
