Found 5 out of the 7 ponies right next to the fence in F3 at about 14.15, as I was riding the track outside the area. They appeared OK, happily grazing on the gorse. I took photos, but there are not great to identify which 5 ponies. I waited there approx 15 mins to see if the other two would appear, but no joy. I was also unable to get then to come over to the fence for strokes and better photos/identification.
I then went looking for the cattle and the tracker indicated that they were in the NE corner of C5. Despite the tracker showing my location as somewhere I had not visited today, I did indeed find all four of them that location. They too were happily grazing a appeared content.
I was calling the cattle and they were gradually coming towards me. However, I lacked the confidence to allow them to approach closer. Is there another "Looker" or staff who is confident stroking the cattle, who I could visit with? I live In Pinewood Park so could get there quickly to meet up.
After seeing the cattle, I returned to where I'd spotted the ponies earlier and still could only see 5. I then circumnavigated the outside perimeter on my bike, rode all of the main tracks and other areas that were not waterlogged. I was unable to find the other two ponies. It is possible that they were close to the other five in deep gorse. I spent several minutes on 3 different occasions listening, (in the hope I'd hear them crashing through the gorse) in the area where the 5 were, but heard nothing.
