I first located 276 J'Adore at the junction of L4/L5/M4/M5, just south of the main E-W track. He appeared content to be grazing on what appeared to be bamboo leaves, (maybe he has Panda blood?)
I then went to look for the ponies, which I quickly found in D6, near to the sunken pits to the west of the Ammo Dump Compound. The were all close by, and not as previously, (dark pony separated from the others and Poly and similarly-coloured pony staying close to each other).
I took a couple of photos of the mark on the lhs back of dark pony. There was only one fly there today and she did not react when I ran my hand over it, as I was stroking her.
I was out on a bike ride with a friend and we returned at 12.40, as we were on our way home. We found the three ponies in the shade, in E5, just to the north of the ammo dump. The dark pony was happy to receive strokes but the other two kept stamping their hooves on the ground, so I kept my distance from them. I think it may have been the flies causing the annoyance and not me. The two lighter ponies were stood very close together again, but the darker pony was not too far from them.
Other that the hoof stomping they appeared well.
I could see from the No-Fence App that the cattle were up in the NE of their range, but we didn't have time to get there and search for them
Panda blood 😂🐼 yes foot stomping is typical behaviour with lots of flies and sometimes indicates mites. Flies are pretty bad this year. Thanks Tony
