At 15:45 this afternoon, the ponies were grazing in the pasture northeast of the main entrance, near ///dance.cars.hazy. The girls were very friendly, taking turns to come over and greet me before settling in for plenty of strokes and rubs. There had been some rain shortly before I arrived, so they were a little damp, but they soon dried off.
After saying hello, the ponies returned to grazing, but regularly came back for more attention. The non-collared pony had clearly been rolling in muddy ground prior to my arrival and was delighted to stand while I brushed the loose hair from her neck, back, and sides. She seemed much more comfortable afterwards and thanked me with gentle nuzzles. The collared pony preferred long neck and ear rubs, really leaning in and thoroughly enjoying being fussed over. The girls were both happy, relaxed, and looking well.
By 17:00, the ponies had gradually moved south, crossed the path, and were enjoying plenty of grass by the corral. After a final round of strokes, I said my goodbyes shortly afterwards. As I was walking away, they continued moving towards the southwest corner.
The ponies were all good today.
