	Horses - The Fell Pony - Horse and Pony Breeds on Equiworld - Equestrian Information on the internet
		Fells were also employed in less contentious circumstances - including ownership by Cistercian Monks and it is quite probable that the colour grey was introduced at this time, as a 'white' stock was a sign of their monastic ownership.
		Most of the ponies were fl, dark brown or bay, white markings were very rare, and as the size of the pony was governed by the quality of grazing, it is unlikely that ponies exceeding 13hh could have survived on the northern moorland.
		Fortunately the Fell Pony was still surviving in its native Lakeland home, and despite its dramatic rise and fall at the hands of the industrialists, as a breed it was quite unchanged, for the disbanding of pony teams had not affected the true pony breeding stock at home on the Cumbrian hills.

	Fell pony Temperament and Maturity
		The Fell temperament is similar to other British native pony breeds in that the instinct for survival has been bred into them for centuries.
		If Fells are bred and reared OFF their traditional hills, their survival instinct may perhaps fade, but for the time being it runs strong in their veins and it must be allowed for.
		Once a pony has been taught the basics it does no harm to leave him till five, six or more years old before demanding hard work from him; he can then go on working, sound, doing steady work into his thirties if he is not stressed in youth.
