Thursday 31st August '23 Staff

After a bit of a search in the Western corner of the site, I changed tact and headed east. Thankfully I very quickly found all of the ponies on the open Heath just east of Brocks Hill. ///dreamers.surely.words No issues to report, they all seem happy and healthy. I checked the collar on the larger pont and thankfully it's elastic so isn't restricting the animal in any way at the moment. 

Tuesday 29th August - 3 ponies seen

A late visit today. All three ponies were by the track between Brock’s Hill and the racetrack at 1905. They were enjoying watching runners doing circuits of the track and hill. All three looked well. The one with the collar is getting quite round. 

Monday 28th August - All 3 seen

The three ponies were all happily munching on the fresh grass in the southwest corner of the site at 10:45 this morning.  They were all looking well and were very relaxed.

After about ten minutes, the brown pony came and said hello and stood and had a long ear rub.  When done, she went and had a lie down, before properly sprawling out in the sun with a big smile on her face.  She lay on her side for over fifteen minutes before having a roll around and getting back up.  Meanwhile, the tan pony had come over and taken her place.  She was super friendly and very relaxed.  Shortly before noon, all three ponies went back to grazing.

It was great to spend some relaxing time with the ponies today.  They were all good.

The ponies were all happily grazing in the thicket around ///cuff.lace.towel at 11.25 this morning.   All three were enjoying munching on the long grass in that area and continued to graze until I left them at noon.  They were all very relaxed and their usual friendly selves.

The ponies were all good this afternoon.

Tuesday 22nd - All 3 ponies seen

After a fruitless walk around the site the ponies turned up on the track to the west of Brock's Hill as I was leaving. All appeared well but troubled by flies.  There is plenty of water in the pond and the Gelvert is flowing.  I also found the remains of a campfire on the top of Brock's Hill and a tent (not military) tucked away in the gorse nearby.

Sunday 20th August - All 3 seen

The ponies were all grazing in the sunshine in the area around ///slides.implanted.rams at 13:15 this afternoon.  They were all very relaxed and were enjoying the fresh grass.

The collared pony had significantly more flies on her face than the other two, but she came over and said hello and allowed me to brush them off a few times.  The other two were their usual friendly selves as well.   They all continued to happily munch for another half hour until I said cheerio.

The ponies were all good this afternoon.

Sunday 6th August - All 3 seen

The ponies were all hanging out in the far south-west corner of the site at 13:30 this afternoon.  They were alternating between the shade of the trees and coming out into the open and eating grass or leaves from the trees.  They were all happy and very relaxed today.  There was some head scratching going on against the tree branches before they decided I could do a better job and came over to say hello and get an ear rub.

By 14:20 the ponies had decided to get some sun and were all happily munching on grass in the area around ///toys.speak.nooks.

 

The ponies were all good today.

Saturday

 All found looking fine ignoring the rain at the bottom of the hill, south side at 10. 

Friday 4th August - All 3 seen

Appreciate Grace checked them earlier, but an extra check this evening as Friday isn't the same without spending some time with the ponies 😀.

All three were grazing in the area around ///curve.pelt.folk at 17:30 this evening.  As I was walking over to see them, one of the ponies wandered over to meet me and say hello.  She was very relaxed and super friendly.  The other two were happily munching away on the long grass.

The ponies slowly made their way over the pasture to the east side of Brock's Hill grazing as they went.  They then continued to munch as they made their way along the track at the side of the hill before joining up with the main path at 18.20.  

The ponies were all good this evening.

Friday 4th August - Grazing Team Visit All 3 found

Hi All, 

I've found all three, two of the friendlier ones caught site of the truck on the track the dark brown one was confidant enough to join me on the track. Followed closely by the Tan one.

The shyest of the trio wasn't too far way in the bracken (the one with the collar).

She came to join the others on the track soon after. 

All are well and the water is running smoothly through the ditches.

Tuesday 1st August - All 3 ponies seen

The ponies were in hiding this morning but I eventually found them tucked up in the soggy NW corner of the site (D3).  They were happily grazing on the lush grass around the boggy pools and I only spotted them thanks to the swish of a blond tail.  They all appeared well.
