The ponies were all happily grazing near the corral at 18:05 this evening. They were enjoying lots of fresh grass, despite the drizzle. The foal quickly came over to say hello and was happy to receive the first of many neck scratches. He thanked me by giving me gentle head rubs. The girls also came over to say hello and were nice and friendly.
The little one soon gave up on grazing and just wanted to be stroked. He enjoyed lots of ear, head, neck and back rubs. He got a little bitey at one stage but was firmly told to stop. He calmed down and was happy to receive some more strokes.
The girls seemed very settled and were happy just to eat in the area around the corral. The little one nursed from his mum at around 18:35 and then joined her to graze. They looked lovely together. The ponies were all happy, relaxed and looking really well. There wasn't much of a flying display this afternoon due to the low cloud base, so I'm sure they were relieved. I said my goodbyes just after 18:45.
The ponies were all good today.
