The ponies were grazing on the western slope of Brock's Hill at 14:00 this afternoon. The foal came wandering down first, eager for his usual neck rub, greeting me with affectionate cuddles, nuzzles and licks. He seems to be having a growth spurt, looking noticeably taller than over the weekend! The girls soon followed, each taking turns to say hello and enjoy some neck and back rubs. They were all looking gorgeous and were very friendly.
After a while, the ponies returned to grazing and moved into the pasture northwest of Brock's Hill near ///rivals.beaker.grew. They enjoyed the long grass and heather, but still came over regularly for more strokes. The little one especially enjoyed another long neck rub, followed by a back rub as he grazed. I did notice a chip in his rear left hoof, but it didn't seem to be causing any issues. The whole group were happy, relaxed and looking well.
By 15:05, the ponies reached the trees by the fire hydrant, where they stopped to drink from the pools of water. From there, they moved to the pasture near ///pigs.relief.nags where they happily grazed. Despite it being rather swampy in that area, they didn't mind getting their feet wet and muddy. They alternated between grazing, moving slowly southwest, and coming over for more strokes. It was lovely to spend some quiet time with them before I said my goodbyes around 16:15.
The ponies were all good today.
