Fell Ponies are not "Mini Friesians"

In the early 2000s the Fell Pony Society was from time to time made aware of advertisements containing the term "Mini Friesian" with reference to Fell ponies. Our Overseas Branches frequently commented that they needed to correct the use of this term on a regular basis, when exhibiting Fell ponies to the general public. Twenty years on, we hope that supporters now realise that to make such comparisons is misleading, both about the Fell pony and about any other breed that is compared to it.

The Fell Pony Society continues to disapprove of the use of comparisons with other breeds to describe, promote or advertise the Fell. "A Fell pony is a Fell pony", a strong, hardy, versatile, purebred English working pony, who should not be described as a mini version of any other breed.

For a longer discussion of the historical arguments about the Friesian comparison, please see the Fell Pony Museum web site, http://www.fellponymuseum.org.uk.
