Having been riding horses in my twenties and then getting involved with aviation career with leisure riding became my hobby. My interest in Fell Ponies was sparked when I learnt to carriage drive behind a fantastic ride and drive Fell Pony named  Skelgill  May aka Precious. Since 1997 I have helped my partner Libby with the Globetrotter Stud ponies and was the instigator of naming the new foals with aeroplane names.
