At 13:50 this afternoon, the ponies were resting under the trees in the southwest corner of the site. They were both very friendly, taking turns to come over to greet me and enjoy plenty of strokes and rubs. After a good while, they moved to the fence by the racecourse and stood in the sunshine while continuing to be fussed over. The girls were both happy, relaxed, and looking well.
The ponies are continuing to shed their winter coats and appreciated having the loose hair brushed from their backs and sides while resting in the sun. After about ten minutes, they moved back into the shade, munching on holly from some branches that I’m assuming the fencing contractor chopped down and left on the ground for them.
At 14:50, I said my goodbyes, only for the girls to follow me out into the main pasture, where they started to nibble on the fresh grass. They alternated between grazing and returning for more scratches. At 15:10, after a final round of strokes, I slipped away, leaving them both grazing peacefully.
The ponies were all good today.
