Friday 29th November - All 6 seen

The ponies were happily grazing near ///irrigate.stars.rams at 14:15 this afternoon. They were all very friendly, coming over one by one to say hello and enjoy some strokes. The foal waited patiently for his usual neck rub, rewarding me with affectionate cuddles and nuzzles. His thick winter coat is doing a fantastic job keeping him warm during these bitterly cold nights. The ponies appeared happy, relaxed and in good condition

They continued grazing in the sunshine, gradually making their way towards the Gelvert Stream. They enjoyed plenty of grass, with the occasional nibble on gorse. The ponies frequently returned to spend time with me, happily accepting more strokes. The little one especially enjoyed a long back rub while grazing. Shortly before 15:10, something over on the racecourse startled them. After pausing to assess the situation, they suddenly bolted at full speed, leaping over the ditch as they ran into the pasture to the north. By the time I caught up with them near ///mobile.duet.racked, they had calmed down and resumed grazing.

As the afternoon light faded, the ponies continued to enjoy the long grass and heather, looking stunning in the golden glow of the setting sun. Slowly, they made their way to the northeast corner of Brock's Hill, where most began munching on gorse. The foal, however, returned for more strokes, enjoying another neck and ear rub. 

I said my goodbyes just after 16:00 as the temperature dropped and darkness set in. The bay-coloured pony still had a slightly sticky right eye, though it didn't seem to be bothering her. I've shared more photos with the owner, who plans to check on her soon.

The ponies were all good today.
