The Fell Pony Heritage Trust is dedicated to the Fell Pony and the Hill Breeders.
The Fell Pony and the Hill Breeders whose commitment to the breed means semi-wild herds continue to roam the fells of Cumbria, UK.
The Fell Pony
Fell Ponies are part of the heritage of Cumbria because of the relation between humanity and its environment. The semi-wild herds of Fell ponies have helped create that landscape. Yet you can go into the streets in the local towns and ask people if they know about them and 9 out of 10 people don't. We should be raising more awareness of these hill-bred ponies, their small numbers on the Cumbrian fells need to be treasured.

Our Work
Our vision is to establish a Fell Pony Heritage Sanctuary in the Lake District to protect the Fell Pony breed characteristics and preserve the working practices for future generations, while also supporting the traditional stewards of the breed - the Cumbrian hill farmers.
