The Search
Most likely, if you have made it this far, you have become aware of the limited availability of these breeds. With so few mature riding ponies available, getting involved with these breeds often requires a commitment to raising young stock. Currently, FiddleHead is one of 3 Fell pony breeders and the only active Dales pony breeder in Oregon. The Fell and Dales pony communities are very supportive, often eager to help new owners with raising and training these ponies. FiddleHead is committed to more than just selling ponies. To help ensure successful placement, we screen and provide educational support. We handle, socialize, and put age appropriate training on our home-bred young stock. Most of the trained stock we offer has been through our training program at Get Grounded Equine.
As a member of both the Fell Pony Society and the Dales Pony Society, we have good connections in both U.S. and UKpony communities. We encourage and support many of the other breeders and network with them to help find the right home for each pony. If we don't have the pony for you, we may know who will.

Drycreek Charles
2022 Registered Black Fell Pony Colt
Laurelhighland Rock Star x Braeberry Clarabel
Tested FIS Clear
Charles was bred and raised with us at Fiddlehead Pony Farm. He is out of Braeberry Clarabel who is at the top of our list for temperament and type. Charles is quiet and incredibly thoughtful, a delight to be around and work with. He has substantial bone, nice frame, and tons of silky straight feather/hair. Like his dam, he has a kind doe eye. Charles is tested non-agouti and is homozygous black via parentage. Also tested FIS clear. His pedigree boasts quality, has a nice balance with bloodline diversity that will appeal to many breeders. Charles has many solid citizen relatives who have done well in performance, competitive extreme trail, working equitation, lessons, driving, expos/demos, and bridle less/liberty. His sire is young, already participating in expos including Equine Affair and stallion presentations.
We believe Charles is a very good candidate as a future breeding stallion. In addition to offering him now for $9,000, we can also retain, raise, work with him, attain his breeding license in 2024 before moving to his new home for $15,000.
Charles is SOLD.
