The Fell Pony
The Fell Pony in North America is a rare heritage draft pony breed originating from England. There are less than 900 ponies in North America and around 40 foals born here per year. Their useful size of 13.2 to 14 HH and drafty build of around 1,000 lbs. mature make them a solid working mount with great versatility.​
The gentle and intelligent nature of the pony makes for a willing and committed partner.
​
Our Philosophy
How the pony is raised matters.....our ponies live in a herd environment in the foothills of the Black Hills in South Dakota. We believe living out in the large hill pastures provides the best opportunity for genetic expression and exposure to many things, fostering the development of a sound mind and body.
​Our ponies are handled daily with love and respect using age-appropriate training from birth to the day they leave. ​
​
Our Focus
We specialize in youngstock started with groundwork from birth and not ridden until at least 4 years old.
​There is SO MUCH you can do with an equine before riding them that builds a solid foundation for success!
​Our breeding stock is proudly raised here in North America as well as imported from England. We pay attention to pedigree diversity to support the future of this rare heritage breed while honoring proper Fell Pony type.
