The Fell Pony is a stout working pony bred in the mountainous terrain of Cumbria, in Northern England. Similar to the Dales Pony, the Fell has a thick build and short legs, lending it a low center of gravity and excellent balance. Fells are touted by equine enthusiasts for their gentleness and intelligence.California Riding Magazine: Stonecreek Farm and the Fell Pony
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-
