Six ponies were happily grazing in the pasture northeast of Brock's Hill near ///coached.prowl.divide at 14:20 this afternoon. Despite the swampy conditions, they weren't deterred from their grazing. Pandora saw me approaching and wandered through the mud to greet me with soft nickers. She enjoyed a long neck rub, rewarding me with the sweetest nuzzles. One by one, the other ponies came over to say hello and enjoy some strokes. Poppy was grazing in the distance among the trees near the fence line to the northwest.
After our initial greetings, the ponies returned to grazing, slowly heading toward Brock's Hill. They frequently took breaks to come over for more strokes and rubs. After a while, Poppy arrived and came straight over to greet me. She was very affectionate, offering gentle nuzzles as she enjoyed a long, relaxing neck scratch. She’s really starting to shed her winter coat, revealing a gorgeous lighter summer coat. All seven ponies were happy, relaxed, and looking well.
The bay pony’s legs are steadily improving each time I see her, though they were wet today from grazing in the swampy terrain. There were no raw patches, and hair regrowth is becoming more noticeable. The other bay pony also showed signs of improvement, with clear hair regrowth on the patches above both eyes. Her neck looked healthier too. She occasionally stopped to scratch against the trees, but it appeared to be normal grooming.
By 15:35, the ponies had reached the gorse bushes near ///chap.piglet.deaf when a persistent drizzle set in. Unfazed by the wet weather, they continued alternating between grazing and enjoying more strokes. I said my goodbyes around 16:10, leaving them still happily grazing—though they, like me, were rather wet by then.
The ponies were all good today.
