I studied FIS at university and was saddened at how common it was. This will make a real turn in the breeding of fell and dales ponies. Hopefully a little less heart brake for the poeple involved.

Hats off to the people who have discovered this test!</p> <img src="https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/aggbug?PostID=68108&AppID=4&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/b/veterinary-nursing-news/posts/68108Wed, 03 Feb 2010 21:30:59 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:4ce990e5-c1e4-4077-ac0e-3c8797f8beb8GLENDA KING0<p>glad to see some information on Fell Pony Syndrome on this site </p> <img src="https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/aggbug?PostID=68108&AppID=4&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">
