The ponies were relaxing in the sunshine near ///difficult.swells.throw, in the pasture to the west of Brock's Hill at 12:15 this afternoon. The foal spotted me approaching and trotted over, nickering softly as he drew near. He thoroughly enjoyed his usual neck rub, showering me with affectionate cuddles and nuzzles. Soon after, the other ponies wandered over one by one, eager to say hello and enjoy some strokes. They all seemed happy, relaxed, and in excellent condition.
Nicky stopped by Longvalley to check on the ponies as well and was very pleased with how well they were looking. The foal stayed close by my side, revelling in the attention and soaking up plenty of strokes and rubs. He was especially affectionate, offering endless nuzzles and even giving the occasional lick. After a while, he went for a long roll around in the grass right in front of me, clearly enjoying himself. Once he was done, he came back over for another back rub.
Meanwhile, the other ponies had started grazing in the surrounding area but took frequent breaks to return for more strokes and rubs. Despite the chilly, blustery wind, they all looked gorgeous in the sunshine.
It was a shorter visit than usual, with us saying goodbye to the ponies around 13:10.
The ponies were all good today.
