The ponies were gathered near ///beaks.hexes.ulterior in the swampy northeast corner just after 08:15 this morning. Most were happily grazing, while a few rested, especially when the sun peeked out from behind the clouds. They were all very friendly, coming over to greet me and enjoy plenty of strokes, rewarding me with cuddles and nuzzles. The ponies were quite wet, particularly their faces, most likely from their earlier grazing.
Tilly was especially affectionate today, standing under the trees for a long neck rub. She completely relaxed, leaning into the strokes, and at one point, she even rested her head on my shoulder for a while. She thanked me with the most gorgeous nuzzles.
By the time I said my goodbyes just after 09:40, the ponies were all relaxing in the sun, looking happy, relaxed, and in good health.
The bay pony’s legs had worsened since last weekend, particularly the rear right, where the hair loss now extends almost down to her hoof. There was also a small raw spot about halfway up that leg. The newer bay pony’s head looked much the same as on recent visits, but she appeared slightly balder in some areas, with some thinning on her face. I have shared additional photos with the owner so they can decide on the next steps.
The owner is also aware that the black mare’s hooves are getting long and plans to address them in the coming weeks.
The ponies were all good today.
