Sun. 16th March 2015 (11.35 - 12.25) Saw All Eight Ponies and All Four Cattle. All appeared well.

Quite quickly, I found 5 ponies grazing in E9, just to the east of the tarmac road. I could hear another pony or ponies calling from NE of there.

I headed off in the direction that I had heard the other pony(ies) calling from. Not far away in F8, I found the dark pony with the white rear hoof & sock on her own. She called a couple of times while I was there, but other than that appeared ok.

From this same position I could also see all 4 cattle at the S end of the track in F8. They all appeared OK as well.

I then did a quick look for the other two ponies around the rest of the meadow, with no success. So, I returned to the S end of the tarmac road from the ammo dump and this time found all 8 ponies either on or just off on both sides of the tarmac road in E8/E9. All appeared well and welcoming to neck rubs.
