Fell ponies thrive on wildlife-rich rough pasture, they are born camouflaged, like these rare twins, who took turns feeding while the other one hid in the long rushes. Find out more at fpht.co.uk #fellponies #Cumbria #nativeponies #sustainability #conservation #foal

Fell ponies are fabulous. Hardy, thrifty, intelligent & versatile: the true solar-powered ATV for the Twenty first century. Plus they have very wiffly noses. #Fellpony #Cumbria #farming #Sustainability #cutebabies #nativepony #conservation #RBST #rarebreeds #LakeDistrict

Cumbria's Fell ponies, selective grazing leaves patches of rushes and long grass which protect small mammals, breeding birds and invertebrates. Obviously this little foal is sleepy after all that conservation grazing. #fellpony #sustainability #rarebreed #Cumbria #conservation

Fell ponies above the clouds. When spending time with any breed in it’s native environment, you truly appreciate how special & specific they are to that area. From Exmoor to the Outer Hebrides, our native M&M ponies were developed to live, work, & thrive in tough surroundings

Fell ponies make ideal driving ponies. They form a deep bond and partnership with their drivers. Here is Marnie enjoying the sea at Silloth. #Fellponies #Cumbria #sustainability #ponies #rarebreeds #nativeponies

Like most intelligent creatures, Fell ponies are full of curiosity. These two mares are sneaking up on a tractor as soon as the driver has left. This childlike curiosity and intelligence makes them ideal work companions. #Fellponies #Cumbria #farming #rarebreeds #sustainability

In these parts, farmers produce great food and work with nature every day. @farmernetwork1 is working with local conservationists to hold another cracking on farm event. Hedges to benefit livestock, wildlife, water and Carbon. It's all about balance #food #farming #environment

Practical pony. Here in Tebay, Marnie shows how to do the shopping without a carbon footprint. Fell ponies are ideal for light haulage, cooperative and clever and a handy size for anyone to manage. #Fellponies #Cumbria #Sustainability #Lakedistrict #rarebreeds #nativeponies

Our native breeds are so hardy - look at this gorgeous #fellpony living high above the clouds. This natural hardiness makes natives the ideal choice for grazing schemes - but it is important not to neglect their welfare - if you enclose them, you’re responsible for them 🐴

Tonight i visit a Lake District farmer group. No fancy presentations. Just going to turn my chair around and ask them how they are really doing? Amidst all the new stuff, it is important that @farmernetwork1 asks these questions. Someone has to. #farming #environment #balance
