The Fell Pony originated in Great Britain, inhabiting the "fells", or hilly moorlands, in the Cumbria uplands on the western slopes of the Pennine Hills. The pony is thought to be a descendent of the Celtic Pony, influenced by Friesian stallions. For centuries, this pony was used    extensively in the

Pennine lead mines and for hauling the extracted lead to ports. The pony also has an extensive history in heavy farm work, draft work, riding and as a carriage pony. The Fell is renowned for its strength and endurance and today is used for riding and trekking as well as carriage and competition driving. In 1900 the Fell Pony Society was created, and the standard for the breed was defined.
The Fell Pony has a small head with straight profile, small ears, prominent eyes, and a thick neck. He stands 13 to 14 hands high at the withers, and has a very muscular body and short powerful legs. The breed colors range from black, to bay, to brown and to grey. Little to no white is allowed on the pony, except for face markings and white on the legs.
North Light artists have faithfully reproduced the Fell Pony breed, from the alert expression to the muscular well-proportioned body, right down to the strong legs with feathering.
