 ASCOT STUD - What is a Riding Pony
The pony is lead by a handler and although it is the pony being judged, it is the overall impression, which is important.
Ponies must be shown in a snaffle bridle and going round the circle should only be walked and trotted, cantering in a workout is permitted.
The pony should demonstrate that it is sound in wind and limb, but since these ponies are expected to show that they would be able to jump and perform across country, an honourable bump or lump can be overlooked as long as the pony is perfectly sound.

 Horses - The Fell Pony - Horse and Pony Breeds on Equiworld - Equestrian Information on the internet
The biggest demand is for the family riding pony, but registered Fells at the present time are being used for pleasure and competitive riding, showing, driving, hunting, trekking, shepherding and are very suitable for riding and driving for the disabled.
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.
