At 14:10 this afternoon, the ponies were resting in the woodland at the far northeast corner of the site, near ///conspire.soon.after. As I approached, I was greeted by a lovely chorus of nickers. One by one, the girls came over to say hello, enjoying plenty of strokes and rubs. They were all happy, relaxed, and looking well, though they were being bothered by a large number of flies.
The ponies stayed close, taking turns to come over and enjoy long neck and back rubs, while the others rested. They were especially affectionate, offering gentle cuddles and sweet nuzzles. After a while, they all gathered around me, content to stand close together, hoping I'd help keep the flies away from their faces.
Just before 15:20, the ponies began grazing, enjoying the abundance of leaves from the surrounding trees. I said my goodbyes a little later, leaving them peacefully grazing. As I walked away, they started to follow but were soon distracted by a large patch of long, lush grass, where they stopped to eat.
The ponies were all good today.
