The Fell
Pony is a truely classic breed and is known for its
sturdiness, as well as its jumping and trotting abilities.
They are often used for riding, driving and in competition.
The Fell Pony was bred in harsh climate, making it very
capable of withstanding very bad weather. Also, feed
is often scarce in their native land, so they are accustomed
to eating little and using their food efficiently. They
are courageous, hard working and docile, although it
can be rather mischievous at times. They also have a
strong sense of self-preservation. They need to form
a working partnership with their trainers and learn
to trust their rider's judgement. This may make them
unsuitable for nervous adults or small children. They
are, however, very well suited for the disabled. The
Fell Pony resembles the Freisian horse in appearance.
It is an extremely handsome horse with a long neck topped
by a neat, pony-like head. The head has a broad forehead,
large bright eyes, small ears and large notrils. Its
ribs are well-sprung with muscular loins and quarters.
The legs are strong with plenty of bone. Their coat
is primarily black, but some may be brown or bay. Its
mane and tail are long and lustrous, and they have feathers
from the knee down. |
