The Spirit of the Fell Pony

Along with other native British breeds the origins of the Fell Pony date back to pre-Celtic times, although it is likely the type was firmly established by the Roman period when these sturdy animals would have been used as both for riding and as beasts of burden. In later centuries the ponies were used in farming and mining, but their numbers dwindled as powered transport took over after the Industrial Revolution. It was not until the 1950s that the breed saw a revival, sparked by an interest in riding for pleasure when so many other smaller native breeds where also in demand. These days the Fell Pony Society ensures the continuation of the breed, `fostering and keeping pure the old breed of pony which has roamed the northern fells for years'. This book celebrates these endearing and popular animals through the superb photography of Fleur Hallam. It will be a treasured memento for all those who have a passion for ponies.

The Spirit of the Fell Enjoyed looking at the photographs, but as this was my first book on the Fell pony, I was looking for more information on the Fell.
Three Stars Neat and informative. Lovely photos
Photos Capture Spirit A wonderful book of lovely photos showing the beauty of the Fell Pony. Indeed, the photos depict the spirit of the breed.
lovely photos but no info I bought this as a present for someone who has just bought a fell pony. It is a small book (about the size of a large postcard), well made and contains some beautiful photos. But I'm really disappointed it has no text other than a short personal introduction from the photographer. I wasn't expecting a definitive tome on the fell pony but from the product description I had been expecting a little on the breed and its history. If I had realised this was just a collection of photos and nothing else I wouldn't have bought it.
Lovely book What a lovely book, fantastic pictures of the ponies. Well worth the money would defo recommend this and all the other Halsgrove pony titles, they make a wonderful collection for your bookshelf.
