About Us

Bert Morland has farmed at Roundthwaite for over forty years, during which time he has kept and bred Fell ponies.  He is interested in every aspect of the Fell pony and has spent many hours watching the herd in their natural habitat. He has been a Fell pony and M & M Judge since he was in his twenties. He no longer rides but still drives a Fell pony occasionally.
