Both ponies were at the entrance gate by the car park at 15:35 this afternoon. They were both pleased to see me, with Davinia making lovely little nickering sounds. The girls were happy to receive head and neck rubs before letting me through the gate. It was quite the welcoming party 😍.
The ponies took it in turns to stand and receive neck and back rubs. By 16:00, they got back to grazing the surrounding area, enjoying lots of fresh grass. Soon after, they wandered into the trees to the northeast of the entrance gate, where they continued to graze. It was quite the obstacle course, with fallen trees and other thicket to navigate. The ponies would frequently take a break from eating lots of long grasses to come over for more strokes. They were both happy, relaxed and looking well.
While the ponies were grazing, I did a spot of litter picking, removing lots of rubbish and broken glass. There were a couple of chunks of discarded metal which I also removed. I also discovered some thick metal wire connected to concrete blocks, and while I couldn't pull the wire out, I was able to bend it so it no longer had sharp edges. There was a large metal structure among the trees around ///ethic.media.senders Also, a sharp, rusty pole sticking out of a concrete block around ///cassettes.guides.dining which I was unable to do anything with. There are photos below for reference.
I said goodbye to the girls, with them both still grazing among the trees, at 17:00.
The ponies were both good today.
