Frequently Asked Questions about Fells

Technical questions about Fells and their paperwork are answered on the Fell Pony Society's FAQ page.

Q     What makes a Fell pony a Fell pony? What makes them unique?

Q    How much food should I give my Fell pony? I have heard they are easy keepers.

Q    I have read reports about the Fell pony being rare and endangered by Fell Pony Foal Syndrome. What is this and will it affect my pony?

Q     Does my pony need shoes?

Q    The Fell Pony Society's literature says that Fells should not be clipped, trimmed or braided. Does this mean “not ever”, or just not for showing?

Q     Is it fair to describe Fells as "Mini Friesians"?

Q    I have fallen in love with the looks of the Fell pony in pictures and would adore one for my children to ride. Do you have any advice for me?

Q     I have heard that "the Fell pony is not a breed for everyone". What are the characteristics of the ideal Fell pony owner?
