Friday 9 Jan 26. (11.15 - 12.25) All 11 Seen. All Appear OK.

 I found the ponies all together in F6 just 50 yards SE of the ammo dump compound.   They all seemed fine.

The cattle took a bit longer to find, but I eventually came across them in F3, after I'd tried all the main track and was now circumnavigating the range.  They were in a new clearing close to the northern perimeter fence.  It was only about 150 yards east of the the cattle grid to the north of the ammo dump compound.  There was a sty over the fence nearby, which collapsed one side as I was going over it, ( beware if crossing these in future), but no injury.  This enabled me to get closer.   Jet, Jura & Jeans were playing in/over the site of a recent fire, that was still warm pushing each other off it.   J'Adore was just a few yards away to the south, happily over his own fire that I could feel the heat of as I stroked/scratched his neck.   The other three were having too much fun as.  Even a year ago, (when I was over 25 stone) I was too lightweight to join in the fun.

 I took a short video of the three boys playing.  However, I cannot get it to upload here.  If anyone would like a copy, please email me fowler614@btinternet.com
