Meet Ace, a handsome fellow I met over in Rindge recently. Not only striking in appearance, Ace is also gentle, friendly, hard-working and eager to please. And perhaps most importantly, Ace is a stallion among a population of only about 500 remaining.

After several months of struggling and uncertainty, the Newfoundland Pony Conservancy of Jaffrey has a new home.
Emily Aho, executive director of the Conservancy, has been looking for a new home for the nonprofit and nine of its critically endangered ponies since October. The Conservancy thought they had been handed a major windfall this autumn, when an anonymous donor offered the nonprofit a farm, complete with house, barns, riding rink and pastures in Maine. The Conservancy had sold its Jaffrey property, which was also the Aho’s residence, and was in the process of moving when the donor rescinded the gift due to unforeseen circumstances, leaving its founders, Emily and George Aho, scrambling for a new solution.
