At 13:40 this afternoon, the ponies were grazing along the eastern side of Brock’s Hill, enjoying the sunshine and plenty of grass and gorse. When they saw me approaching, they took turns coming over to say hello and enjoy some strokes and rubs. Most still had matted coats from yesterday’s rain, but a few gentle back rubs soon smoothed them out. The girls were all happy, relaxed, and looking well.
After a while, they returned to grazing on the slope of the hill, though one always stayed with me to enjoy longer neck, shoulder, and back rubs. They were incredibly affectionate, offering the sweetest cuddles and gentle nuzzles in return. They looked stunning as the sun began to set.
By 14:45, the ponies had moved into the pasture to the east to continue grazing, initially nibbling on the plentiful gorse before heading further east to browse the variety of plants growing in the swampy area. They continued taking turns to come over for more attention, especially loving scratches along the front and sides of their necks. They were an absolute joy to spend some quiet, peaceful time with this afternoon.
I said my goodbyes at 16:00, leaving them grazing in the gorse bushes near the main path, around ///metals.pony.realm. As I walked toward the racecourse, I saw the first couple of ponies emerge and move into the pasture to the south to graze some more.
The ponies were all good today.
