Friday 13th

All 9 ponies seen by the track to the south of brock hill. All grazing happily together.

Monday 9th October - All 9 seen

Four ponies were grazing in the area around ///cosmic.golf.scope just after 14:00 this afternoon.  One pony was initially out in the open, grazing in the warm sunshine, but she soon took shade under the trees beside the others who were munching on long grass amongst the trees.  All four were happy and relaxed.  The tan pony was her usual friendly self and was happy to receive an ear rub.

The pony that resembles the tan pony came out of the trees in the area around ///horns.breaches.aced at about 14:30.  She gave a loud neigh and the tan pony responded.  She slowly made her way over, initially wandering up to me to say hello, before grazing in the sun near the group of four.

The other four ponies were found around ///graph.swan.vanished near the Aldershot Road an hour later.  They had been joined by one of the ponies from the first group.  The ponies were all happily grazing in the thicket before stopping to forage for acorns.  They were being quite successful based on the crunching.  

The ponies were all good today.

Sunday 8th October - All 9 seen

Two ponies were happily grazing in the thicket around ///publish.stun.drifter at the north-east corner of site at 15:15 this afternoon.  They were looking great in the warm sunshine.  They appeared to be on their own, though.  The duo continued to graze in a westerly direction before wandering through the central forest of trees and out the other side.  They neighed a few times, as they wandered in the direction of Brock's Hill, trying to locate the others, but there was no reply.  The ponies continued to graze for a while before leaving the thicket and munching on grass at the side of the main path around ///every.masks.lyricist.

A long time later, the other seven ponies were found grazing together in the area around ///joys.late.selling.  They were all spread out and enjoying the long grass in the thicket.  They were all very relaxed, with a few taking a break to come over to say hello.

It was lovely to spend some relaxing time with the ponies this afternoon.  The group of seven were still busy grazing when I left them at 17:30.  Hopefully the other two will join up with them soon.

The ponies were all good today.

Friday 6th Oct '23 Staff Visit.

Found all 9 of the ponies down under the trees in D3 (opposite velmead woods carpark) 

No issues to report, everyone happily grazing away and looking healthy. 

Tuesday 3rd October - all 9 seen and looking well

The ponies were visible from the gate when we arrived this afternoon at 14.10, spread out along the main track between Brock's Hill and the racecourse.  They were standing in three groups of three but soon set off in Indian file as a group of nine east along the track foraging for acorns.  They all appeared well and sociable with each other.  There is plenty of water on the site.

Sunday 1st October - All 9 seen

Two ponies emerged from the thicket on the east side of Brock's Hill at 11:25 this morning.  The original collared pony was busy munching on grass close by.  They were relaxed and looking well.

 

All three wandered to the area around ///excuse.youth.lawns by the path near the racecourse fence line to meet up with the other six ponies a short time later.  Some were munching on grass, while others were taking part in some acorn hunting.  A couple were in amongst the trees and were getting their noses deep in the fallen leaves trying to find acorns.

Eight of the ponies stood just off the main path under the trees resting until shortly before 12:30 when they decided to walk off eastwards.  The ninth, the collared newbie, had wandered off and was happily munching on grass around ///ooze.transmits.lost near the track up to Brock's Hill.

The ponies were all good today.
