Cumbria is the home of the Fell pony and one of the main strongholds of the Dales, and if you are looking for a genuine native with substance this is where to start. Fell and Dales ponies bred here are typically raised on the fell in a herd, which produces sure-footed, sensible ponies that are good in traffic, easy to keep and capable of carrying an adult as well as a child — the classic family all-rounder that a child will not outgrow in two years.
Be prepared to travel and to ask careful questions about handling. A pony that has run out on the fell may be genuinely unspoilt and honest, or may simply not have been handled much — those are different things and it matters enormously for a first pony. Ask specifically about catching, feet, loading and traffic rather than accepting "he's been out with the herd" as an answer.

What is the main native breed in Cumbria?+
The Fell pony, with Dales ponies also strongly represented. Both are hardy, sure-footed natives that suit families wanting a pony to last.
Are fell-bred ponies suitable for children?+
Many are excellent — sensible, hardy and good in traffic. But check how much handling a pony has actually had. Unspoilt and unhandled are not the same thing.
Will a Fell pony carry an adult?+
Often yes. Fells and Dales are strong for their height, which is why they suit families wanting a pony that both a child and a parent can ride.
