Sunday 6th July - All 6 seen

The cows and the ponies were all good this afternoon, despite the variable weather conditions.

The ponies greeted me at the main entrance and were ever so friendly, enjoying lots of strokes and rubs before we wandered in to the corral for grazing and more strokes and rubs.

The cattle were over in the far northeast corner of the site, grazing deep in the thicket. They popped their heads out to say hello,  and steer 178 enjoyed a few strokes, but they were more interested in grazing today. I suspect they knew more rain was forecast so wanted their dinner and to be close to the woodland for shelter.

The ponies were still grazing near the corral when I returned to them, however, they occasionally went into heightened alert when they heard neighs coming from the event on Tweseldown.  After another round of strokes and rubs, I wandered them down to the pasture southeast of Brock's Hill where they happily grazed.

I said my goodbyes at 17:50, which happened to be just after the last rider on Tweseldown, leaving the girls happily grazing. I had only just made it back to the car when the heavens opened again, so hopefully the girls disappeared into the thicket for shelter.

The cows and the ponies were good today.

(Will do a better write up and add some photos later - got a whole host of blogs still to write this weekend!!).
