Libby Robinson, chairperson of the FPHT, bought her first fell pony in 1979 and they have been an important part of her life ever since. For 50 years she has worked with them on farms, running courses and teaching carriage driving. She lived in France for 19 years where she bred Fell Ponies and only returned to Tebay with her ponies in 2018. Libby works with the Fell Pony Heritage Trust based in Tebay, providing information about the native pony of the Cumbrian Fells. Talk will include a 10 minute award winning film – “Tails of Cumbrian Heritage” created by Abby Wilkinson and Georgia Costin.
