The ponies were happily grazing in the pasture southeast of Brock's Hill at 13:00 this afternoon. One by one, they wandered over to greet me, enjoying strokes and offering affectionate nuzzles and head rubs, as usual.
After our initial greetings, the ponies alternated between grazing, resting, soaking up the warm sunshine, and enjoying lots of strokes and rubs. After a while, they began to move towards the eastern side of Brock's Hill, where Tilly had a delightful roll around in the soft, muddy ground.
The ponies continued grazing in the eastern pasture, enjoying a variety of gorse, heather, and long grass. They gladly accepted back rubs while nibbling in the gorse bushes. Megan chose to relax in the sunshine, enjoying gentle nose and neck strokes. By 14:30, I say my goodbyes, leaving the ponies happily grazing.
The ponies had ample access to drinking water. The Gelvert Stream was flowing, but the pond had a thin layer of ice, which I broke for them. I also cleared ice from several large puddles along the eastern side of the hill. Pandora immediately came over to drink from one, then stayed for a long neck rub.
The ponies were all good today.
