Breeders of Fell Ponies.
Famous names of the past.
Prefixes are a fairly new
development to help advertise studs. Early
entries in the Stud Book, eg Volume 5 from
1898, record stallions with individual names
like Blooming Heather, Brough Hill, and Eden
Grove. Notably, these were all different in
colour: black, bay and brown respectively.
Breed Prefixes of the Past.
This list is taken from
the FPS Stud Book compilation and gives approximate
dates when some of the prefixes that occur
again were first recorded. You can compare
these prefixes to those of

Many of these
people, and their family before them, had of
course been breeding Fells much earlier than
their prefixes would imply. Thrifty to the
end, breeders were reluctant to pay good money
just to have their farm's and their ponies'
names written into a book, when everyone around
them already knew their stock and its quality!
