History
Fell Ponies are believed to be descendants of the European pony, which arrived from mainland Europe sometime around 15,000 BC. The influence of the rugged terrain around Cumbria produced a short, hardy breed that may have later been infused with the genes of foreign horses, brought the region by the Romans.Fell Pony Society: Early History The Fell helped build Cumbria, being used in agriculture and transport up through the Industrial Revolution, when it was used to haul iron ore North-to-South. In 1916, a Fell Pony Society was founded, "to foster and keep pure the old breed,"Fell Pony Society: Official Site, but by the 1940s, the breed was nearly extinct. A gradual revival has been at-hand ever since, with intervention by enthusiasts and equestrians. Semi-wild herds of Fell Ponies still roam Cumbria.Equitrekking: The Fell Pony: A Rare English Treasure -
