The ponies were all found grazing on the east slope of Brock's Hill at 14:00 this afternoon. They were all rather wet following an extended period of heavy rain, but quickly dried out in the sunshine. The foal came bounding down the hill to say hello and receive the first of many neck rubs. He gave me lots of head rubs and nuzzles. The girls all came over to say hello too and were very friendly. Blondie enjoyed a long back rub, which helped her dry off. The little one wasn't particularly happy with the amount of time I was spending with her, so decided to run in circles at full speed around me while doing little hops, skips and jumps 🤣. He soon calmed down and came back for some more attention.
For the next hour or so, the ponies continued to graze on Brock's Hill, enjoying plenty of grass. The foal alternated between grazing and receiving lots of neck, head and back rubs. During one particularly heavy shower, they all headed down to the large bushes at the foot of the hill, where they took shelter. After the rain stopped, the ponies started to graze the pasture to the east. They enjoyed lots of long grasses and leaves from the various bushes. The ponies slowly made their way through the pasture, getting to the area around ///shaped.hikes.outsize shortly after 16:00. They would alternate between eating and getting stroked. They were all happy, relaxed and looking really well.
It was lovely to spend some relaxing time with them today, even though the weather was very unpredictable.
The ponies were all good today.
