Come see our NEWFOUNDLAND PONIES … “Shine, Barney, Charlie and Queenie”. The ancestors of the Newfoundland Pony arrived with the Island’s early settlers from the British Isles. They were hardy creatures, already well adapted to the harsh climate of the islands of the North Atlantic. Over subsequent centuries, and with little outside influence, the hardiest of these early pony immigrants to Newfoundland interbred and eventually evolved into one common pony type, now recognized as the Newfoundland Pony. In the past, the Newfoundland Pony was
used to plough gardens; haul fishing nets, kelp and wood, gather hay and provide their families with transportation about the Island. These functions were replaced by modern technology and the pony population plummeted. To protect this special and historic pony, the Newfoundland Government has recognized it as a Heritage Animal. The current Newfoundland Pony population totals less than 400 animals. An ongoing effort on the part of concerned individuals from across Canada has stabilized the population, however, the Newfoundland Pony continues to be identified as a critically endangered species by Rare Breeds Canada.

Absolutely Amazing

I attended Cache Rapids Stables summer camps from the time I was 8 years old until I was 16 and too old to go back. Now, I return every summer for trail rides and to see their horse shows.

The owners, Ruth and Kevin, are lovely, friendly, accommodating people who go above and beyond to ensure the comfort and safety of their guests, staff, and horses.

Wonderful experience with horses and owners

The horses were well cared for and fun to ride. We did a two day ride and Ruth and Kevin cooked us dinner and breakfast at our cabin. Both meals were excellent. The riding was through the forest near the national park on small forest roads and trails. The cabin was owned by a different commercial operator and was near a main road. Our horses stayed in a corral in a campground across the street. We were well matched to our horses and the ride was just our family with our guide. The ride was of the proper length for both the experienced riders and those less experienced.
