As we arrived on the site at 1645 this afternoon we heard whinnying in the trees in the NW corner of the site, so went in at the kissing gate and wove our way around the trees. Turned out to be single pony making her way around the tracks presumably calling for her pals.
After making my way to the top of Brock's hill I spotted two more grazing just off the track on the north of the hill. Meanwhile my wife located more (five we think) on the south of the hill, rooting for acorns along the ditch by the racecourse. They were well spread out today.
While looking at the whinnying pony a man who runs past the site on his way to work came up and spoke with us saying that he thought the same pony was wandering there and calling at 0730 this morning.
Those that we saw looked well but I notice that the pale pony's hooves are looking a bit tatty (see photo).
