Title: Newbie here!!


fell lover - January 16, 2008 01:21 PM (GMT)
Hi, I am Sandy, I live in Cumbria and at present own one Fell Pony (she is rising 4) and one Traditional Coloured Cob (rising 3). Aiming to buy some land to get some more! :lol:
It is great to find a forum that specialises in Fell Ponies!!

I was introduced to this wonderful breed when I was a young girl by my Auntie Joan (Duberry) and the lovely Bell family (Waverhead Fells). I always regret having to sell my first Fell, bought from the late Jim and Francis, so I had one on loan for a year before I persuaded my hubby to put his hand in his pocket!
I now own Wansfell Rebecca who is 4 on 26th May alongside my Traditional Coloured Cob, Storm.
Looking forward to getting to know you all xx

Hi Sandy, Glad you've found this forum. Do you know that there are two long standing Yahoo Groups, one called Fell Pony and one called Fell Pony Fun? Both have members from both sides of the Atlantic as well as in Europe.

If you want to see more look in the for sale/wanted section about page 5. I had her for sale earlier in the year and then put her in foal instead. :pony:

Hi!!
I love the Waverhead Fells the best, :wub: but I am prejudice with the knowing the Bells!!! :lol:
He was a stallion for a while, wasn't he? Or have I got the wrong one? Would love to see pictures, am now off to investigate the site further!!

:welcome2: Fell lover and a happy 2008.

I am very new on here as well, as I have only 4 weeks ago bought my first Fell from Michelle. I own Ravenscairn Sonya, Velvet for short, and an 19 year old broodmare TB/ID.
There is a picture of Velvet on my 'new member' bit of this site. I live totally outside the native area of the Fell, but the conditions here are not that dissimilar. The Brecon Beacons National Park has plenty of mountains and moorland.

Not sure where to put up pictures of my girls, so hoping it is ok to put them on here.
This is the pair of them racing round the other day.

Dripping in mud after a really wet spell - there is a huge puddle in the corner of the field and they both were running through it then rolling in it. :rofl:

Will try to find some better ones!

How the hell do you get that cleaned up for a ride? I thought you said they were girls/ladies. Are you sure you don't keep pigs?

Lovely pics :rofl:

fell lover - January 20, 2008 10:10 AM (GMT)
Luckily neither are broken to ride yet - though that is our mission this spring with Becky.
