The ponies were happily grazing together in the southwest corner at 14:00 this afternoon. Most were munching on grass, while Tilly favoured the gorse. They were all very friendly, approaching one by one to say hello and enjoy their first strokes. The little one waited patiently before wandering over for his usual neck rub, offering lovely cuddles and nuzzles in return.
Around 14:20, the ponies crossed the path and began grazing along the track west of Brock's Hill. They appeared hungry, eagerly enjoying plenty of heather and the occasional bit of gorse. They took turns coming over for more attention, each enjoying plenty of strokes and rubs. The little one was particularly affectionate, relishing more neck rubs and a long back rub as he grazed. The group steadily made their way along the track, all looking happy, relaxed and in excellent condition.
Just after 15:00, three ponies moved into the pasture northeast of Brock's Hill, near ///part.instructs.jams, where they continued to graze. They paused to drink from a large pool of water before returning to grazing. I was delighted when they would take a break and came back over for more strokes. Pandora especially loved a long neck and shoulder rub, completely relaxing and offering the most affectionate nuzzles as gratitude.
Meanwhile, Poppy, Megan, and the foal stayed in the thicket on the eastern side of the hill. Around 15:40, I wandered back over to spend some quiet time with the foal. He seemed content to simply relax and be petted, especially enjoying strokes along the sides of his neck. Poppy and Megan continued grazing, but were happy to pause for some more strokes before I said goodbye just after 16:00.
The ponies were all good today.
