Lessons over for awhile…..Back to the hills they go to grow and learn more with the main herd. Coming two year old geldings (in 2026) Dakotafell Chinook and Fiddlehead Thierry of Legacy. Two geldings with solid foudational skills in place and very nice calm temperaments and bright futures with someone ahead of them!

Two years ago Today we were riding the base of Crow Peak in the Black HIlls of SD - TODAY we were enjoying 3 ponies in the orchard of the Vetter Ranch near Belle Fourche, SD. So enjoying Emily’s visit back to SD!

When they just want to be with you….no feed, no treats…just want your companionship and something to do….The Fell Pony personality!

At DakotaFell we are committed to giving our young stock the best start possible physically and mentally on the hills within the herd environment and complimented with proper nutrition, lots of love and handling.
We have a nice herd of young stock that are available now and in the future. All young ponies purchased from our program have the option to remain here to continue to grow in our hill pastures until ready for further training.
How you raise them matters! Visitors encouraged and welcomed!

Only one Fiddlehead c**t this year, Fiddlehead Tannen of Legacy. This lovely c**t is the product of 2 committed heritage breeders coming together for the future of the Fell pony in the U.S. Making the 1300 mile trip between us multiple times now, both Fiddlehead and Dakota Fell are committed to these extra efforts in order to expand the diversity of both our programs. Moving stock between us has also provided opportunity for us to get to know different temperaments, type, and personalities. Both of us are committed to thoughtful, patient, and quiet handling of these young ones. While his dam, Murthwaite Victoria Pendleton is on her way back to Fiddlehead in Oregon, Tannen will remain in South Dakota to continue to grow with Dakotafell's herd.
