Online Access to the Fell Pony Stud Book

Council have agreed to give Society members free access to the Society's Grassroots database, so that they can view animal details, member details, pedigrees and progeny lists online.

To access this, you need to enter your access number (not your membership number) and password, as notified to current members with the Spring 2009 magazine.

Notification of Changes via the Web

Members who use the online access to the Stud Book might like to consider notifying the office of some transactions via the web.

Members can now notify the office of deaths, castrations and stallion services – it doesn’t update our database directly, but transfers the information so that it can be downloaded in the office.

For deaths and castrations, the passport still needs to be sent in to the office as soon as possible after the event.
Stallion owners can enter service records via the web and print off a copy of the record for the mare owner. This will remove the need for posting service books backwards and forwards each year, saving postage costs for both the stallion owner and the Society.

If you are interested in doing this, please get in touch with the office (fellponysocietysecretary@hotmail.co.uk), and we’ll learn together!

'The Fell Pony' DVD

The Fell Pony Society has made a DVD to aid the promotion of the breed. It features the Fell pony, at home amid breath taking scenery, on the fells in Cumbria, seeing them as they have been for hundreds of years, running on the ground that shaped the breed and made it what it is today, with interviews from some of the hill farmers that run the ponies on the fells, where they talk about the ponies and how they manage them on the open fells. The filming also follows the ponies performing in some of the spheres in which they excel and features the Fell Pony Stallion Show, the Breed Show, the Performance trials, Lowther driving trials and through to the ridden finals at Olympia. It shows the versatility of this wonderful breed and gives an insight into why it is so important for the breed to hold onto the remaining hill herds.

The DVD was filmed by Alan and Denise Tibbitts of DVX Productions with narration by Brian Blessed and together they have produced a film that will be of tremendous value to all with an interest in native ponies.

The DVD is available from the Fell Pony Society office at a cost of £15, plus £2 postage and packing for the UK and Europe, or £3 for the USA and Canada.
