At 14:20 this afternoon, three ponies and the foal were resting near the northeast corner of Brock's Hill, while the others grazed in the nearby gorse bushes. Tilly was the first to greet me, offering gentle nuzzles and eagerly leaning in for a neck rub. Once we finished, the rest of the ponies came over one by one to say hello and enjoy their first strokes. Poppy was the last to emerge, clearly enjoying her time munching on gorse.
After a while, the ponies moved to graze on the northern slope of Brock's Hill, but they regularly returned for more strokes. They were all happy, relaxed and looking fantastic. The foal especially enjoyed a long neck rub, loving having the sides of his neck stroked and offering affectionate cuddles in return.
The ponies continued grazing and were happy to be approached for back rubs. Tilly preferred to munch on gorse at the bottom of the hill, but still welcomed strokes. I said my goodbyes just after 16:00 as dusk set in.
The ponies were all good today.
