For October we don’t have a horse of the month… It’s a pony,
the very famous Fell breed, memorialized in the Royal household.

HISTORY
https://fpsna.org/history/ - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fell_pony

According to the Fell Pony Society, the Wild European pony migrated to the British Isle approx 15,000 B.C. One type predominated in northern England, and can be credited as the progenitor of the Fell Pony.
The Fell Pony shares its origins with the now-extinct Galloway Pony, which was also the root of the Dales Pony. It is believed to have originated on the border between England and Scotland, quite probably antedating Roman times.

Versatility summarizes the breed from combined driving events, dressage, packing, cross country, to every day hacking. Color varies but lends itself to the bays and blacks. The Fell Pony is known for its sturdy physique and stamina. Average is 13 to 14 hands.

It is important to note: The Fell Pony Society and The Fell Pony Society of North America wish to state that they strongly disapprove of the use of comparisons with other breeds to describe, promote or advertise the Fell. A Fell pony is a Fell pony, a strong, hardy, versatile, purebred English working pony, who should not be described as a mini version of any other breed.
