Imported Black Fell Pony Mare Shown in Mountain Trail

Additional Comments

Imported in 2021. Unique lines out of Kinkryhill Shadow and by Greenholme Warrior. Singular opportunity to acquire hill bred stock from Cumbria (England), the Fell pony's native home, and save yourself the stress of importing on your own and bypassing the risk of that venture. Turns 4yo in 2025. Nice conformation, embodying breed ideals such as good bone, straight hair, with ample mane, tail and proper feather. Solid black, estimated at 13.2hh....

Shown in Mountain Trail in-hand in 2023 in a four day show as a 2yo, fared very nicely as a first timer. After showing, in the same month, continued to practice in on open-arena days and sailed through more advanced obstacles without fuss (see video). Does well in a herd, on the lower end of the pecking order. Resides and thrives in my Fell pony herd and is ready to be trained your way. Could go in any direction discipline-wise. Fells are known for their versatility: excel at both Western and English disciplines, fantastic driving ponies, can jump, hunt, ride obstacle courses, do Working Equitation, dressage, ranch ride, sort cattle and go nicely on trail. Prince Philip drove a team of four Fells in his day, Queen Elizabeth rode a Fell into her 90s; they are as athletic as they are dependable and sensible, for all types of riders and handlers. Basics: bathes, ties, trailers well. Trimmed every 8 weeks, good with the farrier and vet. Hooves are solid, always barefoot. Recently vaccinated and wormed. No health issues, kept out 24/7. Very sure-footed on our steep foothill, stabling experience when showing. R+ / clicker training methods have worked well for her. Pending a crossroads of sending to training to start to saddle for spring and/or selling - if sent to training, price will go up as it's very expensive to train full-time and will selling at a loss either way. Downsizing my herd, but not in a hurry, could hold with payments until spring if wished for and continue groundwork training which I can provide or professional training pending availability. Happy to assist with transport recommendations to any destination. More photos or video available on request for serious inquires, open to visits in person. Delighted to share resources with anyone interested in learning more about this rare, at risk, lovely and hardy, British native pony breed. There are about 7-800 Fells in the US currently. See visit our website for more info. Peggy is filling out right now, fully expect her to be in full bloom in spring, stockman say to assess your stock for the future at 3 days old, 3 months old and 3 years old and I was pleasantly surprised and pleased with how she came into spring as a 3yo, developing as a strong show or performance prospect, she ticks all the boxes. She will very easily carry a fit adult rider, as do all Fells, of proper bone and substance. Fells mature fully at about 7/8yo. Photo credit to Jason Petorak (summer photos).
