The Fell Pony
Friendly, smart and versatile, the Fell Pony's useful size of 13.2 to 14 HH, draft build of around 1,000 pounds mature makes them a solid working mount for the savvy horseperson.​
The Fell Pony is a rare heritage draft breed originating from England. There are less than 900 ponies in North America and around 38 foals born here per year.
Their striking solid black color with long manes, tails and feathered legs make them very pleasing to look at! Purebred, registered Fell Ponies are only 4 colors: black, brown, bay or grey. Minimal white is allowed on a registered pony in specific places on the hind legs and face.

Our Philosophy
How the pony is raised matters..... We believe living out in pastures within the herd dynamic provides the best opportunity for physical and mental development while enhancing the opportunity for genetic expression.
​Our ponies are handled daily with love and respect using age-appropriate training from birth to the day they leave for their new adventure in life. ​
​​
Our Focus
We specialize in youngstock started with age appropriate groundwork and not backed until 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.
