    Who we are - We have a lot in common with the Fell pony breed itself. These ponies may not be the biggest or the flashiest around, but Fells are nevertheless tough and versatile. They have the ability to thrive in harsh environments and excel at a multitude of disciplines. Similarly, Fell Conservancy members have a tenacious passion for the breed. Coupled with their wide array of talents, our members freely contribute for the good of the Fell pony breed and the Fell pony community at large.

    What we are – Public Conservation Charity The Fell Pony Society and Conservancy of the Americas was the first Fell organization created in North America. It was originally formed in 1999 as the Fell Pony Conservancy and included all the known breeders at the time and 95% of the known owners. The Conservancy was restructured and incorporated under an expanded name in 2004. We are a 501(c)(3) charity EIN# 20 1008016 .

    What we do – The Conservancy has always been a leader in Fell pony promotion and conservation in the Americas for the USA and Canada. Today the Fell Conservancy continues to emphasize conservation and education under the high standards of leadership it has always believed in.

    How we operate – The Conservancy operates solely on donations and the generosity of its volunteers and members, who provide a core staff, board, and external advisory consultants.

    Why we are here – We are here to provide accurate and unbiased information to enthusiasts seeking to learn more and to provide support to others sharing our mission to conserve this stout-hearted pony breed.
