The ponies were gathered in the southwest corner at 15:30 this afternoon. The foal came straight over to greet me, offering affectionate cuddles and nuzzles. He thoroughly enjoyed a long neck rub. One by one, the girls followed, each happily receiving plenty of strokes. The ponies were all very relaxed and looking well. After a while, they wandered off to continue grazing.
Tilly ventured the furthest, happily munching on gorse blanketted by lots of bracken. She soon stopped to enjoy a long neck and ear rub. Once we were done, I returned to Poppy, Megan and the foal, who were slowly grazing towards the main path. The little one spotted me approaching and eagerly came over for more strokes. He was exceptionally friendly, giving me lots of head rubs as I petted him. Even as darkness fell, he encouraged me to continue with gentle nickers and nuzzles. Thankfully, his eye looked perfectly fine today.
By 16:50, with night fully set in, I made my rounds to say goodbye to each of the ponies.
The ponies were all good today.
