Willowtrail Farm publishes two newsletters about Fell Ponies.  Each month, Fell Pony News comes out electronically, carrying current events related to Fell Ponies generally as well as stories about the individual ponies at Willowtrail Farm. Four times a year, Feather Notes comes out in paper form with informative stories about the breed and lots of pictures.  Topics from past newsletters are listed below.  If one interests you, please request a copy.
