About the breed

HEIGHT - Not exceeding 14 hands (142.2 cms).

COLOUR - Black, brown, and less commonly bay and grey. Chesnuts, piebalds and skewbalds etc are debarred. A star and/or a little white on or below the hind fetlock is acceptable. An excess of white markings is discouraged, but such ponies are eligible for registration.

GENERAL CHARACTER - The Fell Pony should be constitutionally as hard as iron and show good pony characteristics with the unmistakable appearance of hardiness peculiar to mountain ponies, and at the same time, have a lively and alert appearance and great bone.

I would like to thank all of the pages I have used for the info on this page especially www.fellponies.com

USES - The Fell pony is often kept as a family pony and also in many riding and trekking centres. They are very sure-footed, hardy and have great stamina. They also have a good jump. They go extremely well is harness because of their great trotting action.
