Met four fell ponies whilst we were out on the clag in Kentmere on Saturday. I was surprised at how stocky they were, and how hairy their legs seemed to be. However, they seemed friendly enough, but probably only because they were interested in the vague possibility we were going to give them some food. They also had quite hairy noses, apparently this is normal.
Appearances can be deceptive where Fell Ponies are concerned.Originally Posted by Duff
I can vouch for the hairy nose trait
Who was that then
A club member called Keith , we have been bitter rivals for 20years, but he has had the better of me over the short stuff the last few years as i have been training for long slow stuff. Have now changed training to shorterstuffover winter and its paying off..........The loftus girls did well good strong team that!!!!!Who was that then
Always friendly if there is food on offer especially cakes
I did enjoy ale , and still praying, have a good run at Pendle , missing you alreadyWell done marra, enjoy your ale and pray you never find out what the X-Factor is, your too auld for that sh!t
It is a shame that the mens squad has fallen apart though. On the fells a few lads have defected to Esk Valley, I am thinking of finishing the winter series as a Fellpony
Cheers Marra, looking forward to Pendle, miss me not, we'll have long day out next JuneI did enjoy ale , and still praying, have a good run at Pendle , missing you already
Why not, I even have a spare black vest should you want to borrow it!!!It is a shame that the mens squad has fallen apart though. On the fells a few lads have defected to Esk Valley, I am thinking of finishing the winter series as a Fellpony
Loftus like H,pool have had great success on XC but we struggle to get a full squad out these days, last year was our worst in the 25years I have ran for the club. No such problems with Fell ponies just do your own thing if it suits.
Will be at Clay bank on Sunday with a bit of luck.
