Newfoundland Pony Registration
The NPS can assist you with the DNA testing, registration, or transfer of your Newfoundland Pony. Reissue of lost or misplaced NPS Registration Certificates can also be processed.

The Registrar accepts applications for registration of both full-blooded NL ponies and for Part-bred NL ponies. Please note that in either case you can apply for only one pony at a time. If you have more than one pony you simply repeat the process for each one. Only ponies that have registered sires and dams will qualify for full blooded NL pony registration.
Once the application has been accepted the Registrar will dispatch a DNA kit to the applicant. The DNA kit consists of a form and a bar code unique to your pony. You then send the kit with a hair specimen to the Maxxam laboratory in Ontario. The address of the lab, as well as all other relevant information is contained within the DNA kit.

Upon analysis of your samples, the lab will determine if your pony’s DNA matches that of the sire and dam named on the application form. When the outcome is positive, the Register will dispatch a Registration Certificate to you.
Note: Should you wish to register your pony via mail, run into any issues or have questions at any point, feel free to contact Kelly Power-Kean, the registrar for The Newfoundland Pony Society. She can be reached at this email address: registrar@newfoundlandpony.com
