The ponies were grazing in the northeast corner near ///knee.sparkles.assurance at 16:30 this afternoon. They were all very wet from the earlier heavy rain. Pandora was the first to greet me and happily let me stroke the side of her neck. The foal soon emerged from the thicket and came straight over to say hello. He was soaking wet but insisted on giving me lots of head rubs and licks. He enjoyed a long neck rub, one of the few dry spots on him. Megan also came over to say hello before returning to grazing. They all looked well.
The ponies slowly wandered south through the waterlogged ground, enjoying the long grass and heather. The little one stayed close and would take a break from grazing to receive more strokes. He seemed to enjoy having his back ruffled, which helped dry him off a bit, giving himself a good shake once we were done.
By around 17:10, the ponies reached the main path, just along from the Test Track gate, as the heavy rain started. Despite the downpour, they continued grazing on both sides of the path. After about ten minutes, the rain eased, with the ponies still happily eating. The foal came over again for another neck rub after I wiped more water from his back. I said goodbye to them just after 17:40.
The ponies were all good today.
