We bought him as a 10 year old from He was used for shepherding in between stallion duties, and was ridden by our Gemma since she was 7, showing how quiet he really was. Many of Rovers fillies we have kept and are now our brood mares, other ponies which he has sired are Wellbrow Hercules and Wellbrow Jacko, both who has qualified and contended at HOY'S in the past.   Rover died peacefully at home on the 5th of November 2007.

Wellbrow Leo FP50513C*                       Black  22/05/1996 Sire - Tebay Campbell Ton Victor 6614* Dam - Heltondale Polly Perkins 18068 Leo is the all round versatile fell pony. He was shown many times as a youngster, with numerous wins and championships. He rides and drives, he even pulled our wedding carriage as a 4 year old behaving absolutely perfectly. Leo is the sire of a lot of good Fell Ponies, including the Fell Stallion Wellbrow Ron, who was recently exported to Germany after several years at Lownthwaite Stud, also our own Wellbrow Black Bess. In the winter of 2011 we made the very hard decision of putting Leo up for sale, due to the fact that we have retained several of his stock for future breeding, and felt that he could spend his next 15 years having a quieter life. We sold him to Angie Smith and Gary Richardson who own the Stundstead Fell Pony Stud. Here he will continue both his inhand and ridden showing career as well as taking up driving. Angie and Gary also plan on serving their fell mares with him as well as standing him at public stud. We hope they both have as much fun and enjoyment out of Leo in the coming years as we have had with him.
