Agree strongly. The Pony's had more come-backs than Sinatra and is just as classy an act!Quote:

Still some Fell Ponies about, 4 spotted today at the Angelzarke Amble, one lame one ran 24 miles with a broken fetlock!Attachment 8375
Quite by chance, Four-in-a-Row Fell Ponies occurred 90 minutes into the Anglezarke Amble. Photographic evidence was necessary as it seemed so improbable.
Thanks for posting, Steve.
Pleasure Phillip, good to see you and Daz today, been a while since I've posted on here, hope you enjoyed it today, good route :)Quote:

The link in the AMEX thread doesn't work..and I've been unable to find the fellponies own website which used to have it on.
Without either George B (The Master) or Steve T (Amex) at the helm it looks as if the Fellponies are a rudderless ship that's run aground - they've certainly gone to ground. All manner of googling reveals nothing.Quote:

Like the Freemasons, secret and well out of the way.
About time we had another colour of vest.
I wonder if Hanneke would give up the monopoly on orange?
Classic black and white takes some beating imho
Maybe you could consider a Harlequins style composite vest Tuss made up of sections of vests from your six or seven clubs?
'Quins vest? Liking it! (Though they were rivals as I used to play for Wasps.)
I agree about the classic B&W, but aren't your vests starting to lose bits of text and logo?
My ponies could now only compete in para-events, having mislaid key limbs.
Calling all ballbags calling all ballbags
I can confirm I am still alive WGaF I hear you say and that would give me great pleasure........
