Both seemed fine today and engrossed in eating the grass

Sunday 12th April - All 2 seen

At 15:45 this afternoon, the ponies were grazing in the pasture northeast of the main entrance, near ///dance.cars.hazy. The girls were very friendly, taking turns to come over and greet me before settling in for plenty of strokes and rubs. There had been some rain shortly before I arrived, so they were a little damp, but they soon dried off.

After saying hello, the ponies returned to grazing, but regularly came back for more attention. The non-collared pony had clearly been rolling in muddy ground prior to my arrival and was delighted to stand while I brushed the loose hair from her neck, back, and sides. She seemed much more comfortable afterwards and thanked me with gentle nuzzles. The collared pony preferred long neck and ear rubs, really leaning in and thoroughly enjoying being fussed over. The girls were both happy, relaxed, and looking well.

By 17:00, the ponies had gradually moved south, crossed the path, and were enjoying plenty of grass by the corral. After a final round of strokes, I said my goodbyes shortly afterwards. As I was walking away, they continued moving towards the southwest corner.

The ponies were all good today.

Saturday

 Both found at 9.30 on the eastern flank of the hill nibbling away at the new grass. Both looked fine. 

Friday 10th April - Pony Update - Victoria has had her foal

Nicky kindly let me know yesterday that Victoria had given birth to a beautiful filly foal that morning. Both mum and foal are doing well.

I just wanted to share the fantastic news and pass on the photos she sent today. The foal looks absolutely gorgeous. ❤️

At 15:35 this afternoon, the ponies were grazing in the pasture northeast of Brock's Hill, near ///reset.about.legroom. The ground in this area is quite swampy, and as I approached, they were feeding on plants growing in the pools of water and the surrounding soft mud. The girls were very friendly, taking turns to come over and greet me with soft nickers before settling in for plenty of strokes and rubs. Both were happy, relaxed, and looking in good condition.

After our initial greetings, the ponies alternated between grazing and returning for more attention. They both thoroughly enjoyed long neck, shoulder, and back scratches, offering affectionate nuzzles in return.

By 16:20, the ponies had drifted back to the area east of the hill, where they continued to graze, nibbling on fresh grass. They continued to wander over for more strokes, content to receive back rubs while grazing. After a final round of scratches, I said my goodbyes at 16:45, leaving them peacefully grazing.

The ponies were all good today.

Staff Check - 8th April

 Both ponies looked well, aside from the collared pony's back hooves still being cracked, but it sounds like the owner is aware

Superb photo Steve!
