2012 Autumn - The Fell Pony Society

Mr Brunskill said that he had raised the issue of a list of FIS clear stallions at the
last AGM and no progress had been made. Miss Longsdon pointed out that stallions
could be advertised free of charge on the Society’s website and that a list of
stallions had been printed in the catalogue for last year’s Stallion Show. Owners
of clear stallions were not necessarily willing to accept visiting mares.
Mrs Thorpe asked about stamping passports to show that ponies had been FIS
tested. Mrs Parkin said this had just been discussed again at Council and she
would be looking into setting up a voluntary system.
Miss White asked if any progress had been made with Natural England and the
fencing-off of watercourses. Miss Longsdon said that David Martin of Natural England
had attended a Council meeting and there had been a useful exchange of
information.
Mrs Newall suggested that the Society send our congratulations to HM The
Queen for her Diamond Jubilee and Miss Longsdon agreed to do this.
Mrs Robinson and Mrs Murray then presented the awards for the 2011 Performance
Points. Miss Longsdon congratulated the winners and then closed the meeting
and invited the members to have tea.
