A brilliant article about the survival traits of native ponies as written by Valerie Russell for the Native Pony magazine in the UK. - (link temporarily unavailable) To paraphrase from the article: The qualities which attract people to the natives, such as the Fell pony, are versatility and adaptability, hardiness, sure-footedness, soundness, ease of keep, attractive appearance, common sense, good temperament, and delightful character. These traits, not surprisingly, come from the mountain and moorland environments where these natives developed over thousands of years, and in selective breeding following domestication.
