The Fell Pony Heritage Trust is dedicated to the Fell Pony and Hill Breeders.
What we do
Support Fell Pony Hill Farmers.
We are committed to supporting the Fell Pony's value in being an essential part of Cumbia's heritage and ensuring the hill farmers and breeders have a secure and long-term future. Unfortunately, the number of herds is slowly reclining, and we wish to help prevent these numbers from falling further.
Fell Pony Visitor & Education Centre
Our vision is to establish a Fell Pony Heritage Centre 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.
Promote the Fell Pony for Conservation Grazing
And finally, and very importantly, we aim to conduct research to quantify the positive impact of Fell Pony grazing on the upland ecosystem.
