We felt it only right that we share this new image released by The Royal Family and Buckingham Palace on Saturday.
We don't see many Fell ponies these days. Do you have one? Please feel free to share photos of your native ponies below

A new photograph is released today of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth’s fell pony, Emma.

Emma paid tribute to Her Majesty during the Ceremonial Procession in Windsor on Monday 19th September, ahead of the Committal Service at St George’s Chapel.

For the past fifteen years, Queen Elizabeth regularly rode Emma for light exercise in the grounds around Windsor Castle, during Her Majesty’s private time.

Emma will continue to be much-loved and cared for at the Royal Mews, Windsor, and regularly exercised by its small, dedicated team.
