Carried out an extra check on the ponies this morning to ensure they were settled and doing well. Shortly after 10:00, the two remaining girls were resting under the trees in the southwest corner. They both noticed me approaching and came out to say hello, enjoying some strokes. They were calm, relaxed, and looking well.
Over the next hour, they took turns enjoying longer periods of strokes, particularly neck and shoulder scratches. The non-collared pony called out a couple of times, perhaps checking if the others were still within earshot. They then moved to the fence line beside the racecourse, where they stood in the sunshine and enjoyed more attention. I left them relaxing peacefully shortly before 11:30, both resting a hind leg.
The bay youngster is feeling a bit brighter this morning after receiving pain relief when she got home last night. She is now on a course of antibiotics and will be recovering in the comfort of a barn with plenty of good food.
I mentioned in my blog on 15th March that the stile over the fence at the entrance was damaged—“destroyed” would be a more accurate description. Is this something that HIWWT would fix, or should this be reported to the MoD?
The ponies were all good today.
