Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 13 Oct, 12:32 · Archive
Cumbrian author Helen Haraldsen is distributing her poetry collection about Fell ponies free to schools across the county.
Cumbrian author Helen Haraldsen has published The Fell Pony: Tales to Treasure, her fifteenth book and first poetry collection. The work celebrates Cumbria's native pony through verse, exploring the animal's historical and cultural significance to the region.
Ms Haraldsen, a long-time educator, has developed a project to distribute free copies to primary and secondary schools across Cumbria. Schools will also receive a dedicated educational resource to help teachers integrate the book into their lessons. The project is supported by individual donors, equestrian businesses and organisations, including the Fell Pony Society as a main sponsor.
Ms Haraldsen said the book explores how Fell ponies have 'contributed to the lives and livelihoods of people in this county', from their traditional role in farming and transport to their place today as riding and family ponies. The project aims to connect students with local heritage and raise awareness about protecting native breeds. The Fell pony is currently classified as 'At Risk'.
