Wow letter the Queen I remember sending a drawing of the Queen to the Queen and getting a letter back when I was a child and it is very nice to receive one back ! Such lovely ponies and what a nice place. I am sure these ponies who are at yards like this understand what people are trying to do to protect the breedand the ponies are definitely happy to be quite helpful to these kinds of people if they understand what is required. it takes a lot of time to be experienced enough to understand the breeds and that's where showing is so important as it helps keep it all going. What a lovely place to visit if you like fell pony and don't have one or you are thinking of getting one. You can make a good decision. The smaller ones do get taken advantage of on yards as they are very sweet and fairy quick. Hopefully people will try hardest to treat native ponies more traditionally and keep the breeds going. They can't do all the things faster horses can but they do things they can't 🙂🙂🙂

He carries the snacks in his handy little pack and we find him the best grassy stopping places. It's a lovely dream I'd enjoy to come true.

What a perfect size for someone who isn't too tall! I spent some time in England in Britain in the mid-1950s and was delighted to see the many breeds of semi-feral ponies that still existed in a relatively small area. I was born in Canada and have spent most of my life here. On the South-west Coast of British Columbia, many of our first settlers were English and they brought many of their native ponies with them but I haven't seen any Fell Ponies locally.

I love the coverage of the Fell Pony because hearty sure-footed horses are underrepresented in the horse world! The automobile and horse racing industry has resulted in over-promotion of fast and flighty animals, vs. calm, intelligent horses! All horses are lovely, but the sturdy, calm pack ponies and draft horses were sidelined somewhat along the way, and this video helps people understand why we need more breeding of THIS kind of horse! I would like to add a couple absolutely critical points not covered. 1) The Fell pony numbers are still quite low, and have a "vulnerable" status according to the Rare Breeds Survival Trust. This means a higher percentage of owners must be breeding owners for these ponies to survive as compared to other common breeds. This is critical because the government is not conserving them, so it is up to private owners to conserve this native British species. Horses that are not being bred are genetically dead, because they are dead-ended, and they do not count as part of the population stability count. If you want to buy a Fell Pony (or any other rare breed), please consider having the semen collected prior to gelding a male, or taking on the exciting project of mating your mare to produce a couple foals. What a wonderful journey for you, and gift to the world of keeping these wonderful animals with us forever! 2) It's an intellectual distinction, but the Fell Pony is not a "breed". A "breed" is a man-made selection of horses that did not exist naturally before being bred. A "breed" is quite literally created through breeding. The Fell ponies are instead simply a sub-species of horse, and not a "breed". It's a minor point and not worth correcting in conversation, but it's worth understanding because it is much of what makes them hearty (being selected by mother nature). Genetics is complex, and inevitably when we control each pairing, mother nature is no longer making the decisions and very important desirable traits can be lost. Many countries are re-establishing herds of wild horses native to their country. Let's hope that we will see continued improvement in conservation efforts and reestablishment of this horse in the wild, so we will always be able to see them run free, and will always have hearty stock for riding and pack ponies!
@fellponyadventures9194
@fellponyadventures9194 Жыл бұрын
Thank you for the well made points. Since we have lost several of the large semi-feral herds in the last few years there is now even more of a need for breeders who might have just a couple or few mares to keep breeding in order to maintain the numbers of foals each year. It is also so important that we keep ponies living in herds on the high fells here in the north of England to maintain their hardiness and all the other qualities that are shaped by that very environment. Interesting to hear you speak of the Fell (and all our natives I presume) as being a sub-species rather than a breed.

@@fellponyadventures9194 I have a biology background and own a Dales, so I think about it a LOT. Breed societies are usually the best option we have for conservation of native equines, but there is something lost there. Breed societies are usually focussed on shows and aesthetics of conformation because this was considered skill of the breeder, and native ponies were not created through breeding, so this kind of selection can further narrow the genetics. As a silly example, can you imagine David Attenborough promoting conservation of wild birds through breed societies with parading and ribbons critiquing the precise markings and shape? I think breed societies are absolutely wonderful establishments, but I am dubious that they should be tasked with conservation of native animals given it is entirely a different mindset and skillset to manage native ecology vs. livestock. I think this is one of the reasons we are losing ground. The native ponies need to be recognized as part of the native ecology, with support and compensation given to the owners and caretakers. My wish list: semen banks, stud farms (natural bachelor herds), SPARKS instituted for all native UK horses, updates that involve breeding status, deaths, and geldings to be recorded for free in the population databases regardlessof owner membership, and veterinary care through trained vets skilled working with unhandled or minimally handled horses.

@@jessicat3951 This is all really interesting thank you. I agree one of the biggest challenges (especially fr Fells) is getting them viewed (by many of the organisations and institutions) as part of the ecosystem which needs a different mindset to seeing them as either livestock or a pet. There is a need for an enclosure where young colts can be turned in wit each other In the wild the colts would be turned away byte stallion and would form small herds away from the mares and is an important part of learning life skills. Interesting and challenging times for all native breeds tight now. In many ways the Fell is in a strong place but we need to reverse the decline of the hill herds if we are to keep the characteristics that we all love them for.

No they are not, that's why it's great that these videos provide a good overview of the breeds highlighted.

@@dxniella_ Chestnut isn't debarred. It has it's own section "x", as chestnut does come up very occasionally. Piebald, skewbald and Roan used to be Fell pony colours too a very long time ago.

Love them. However I wonder ? WHY ?? People think TROTTING or CANTERING on HARD ROADS IS OK. ITS NOT ! ITS BAD FOR TENDONS AND LIGAMENTS NOT TO MENTION THE CONCUSSION ON THE HOOF . One Major reason Thoroughbreds brake down.
