Five ponies were happily grazing among the gorse bushes along the main path near ///metals.pony.realm at 15:40 this afternoon. The other two were grazing in the swampy area to the northeast, but soon made their way over to join me on the path. They were all very friendly, approaching one by one to say hello and enjoy some strokes. After our greetings, the whole group moved into the pasture south of the path to continue grazing. They were all happy, relaxed, and looking well.
Tilly thoroughly enjoyed a neck and back rub. After a rain shower, she treated herself to a good roll in a particularly muddy patch, then got up and came straight back over for more strokes, happy for me to brush the mud from her head and neck. Meanwhile, the other ponies continued grazing to the west, frequently pausing to come over for more strokes and rubs. By 16:30, they had reached the side of the racecourse, where they rested for a while.
There wasn't much change in the bald patch above the newer bay pony's eye today. She did have a quick scratch against a tree near the racecourse fence before coming over to enjoy a neck rub from me. The original bay pony was one of the two that had been grazing in the swampy area, so her legs were wet and covered in mud, making it difficult to tell if her bald patches were any better today.
After a while, the ponies resumed grazing, with most returning to the pasture to munch on grass, holly, and gorse. Pandora, however, preferred a long neck rub, rewarding me with nuzzles and licks. Tilly also took a break from eating gorse to come over for more strokes, thoroughly enjoying another neck, ear, and back rub. She was very relaxed, offering cuddles and nuzzles throughout.
Shortly before 17:45, as I said my goodbyes, several ponies crossed the path and wandered off along the track on the east side of Brock’s Hill.
The ponies were all good today.
