The cattle were in E5, just afew feet north of the ammo dump compound. They were all friendly, probably forgotten who I am? All had a stroke, but, as usual J'Adore & Jura up for more that Jeans & Jet. Jeans was lying down, while the others stood. All were just enjoying the cool shade.
The ponies were in along the main track that runs WSW from the NW corner of the ammo dump. The foal was initially lying down in the middle of the track. However, once he/she ? saw us he/she got up and looked at us and vocalised a high-pitched neigh. However, we kept our distance and he/she never got within 25 feet of me. Mum was close-by and never appeared anxious. Polly had a couple of strokes. It looked as if the foal wanted to lay back fdown again, but could not ork out how to do it without falling.
I checked on the trough. It was clear and full. I ran a stick thru it several time to remove some of the fibreous material in the bottom.

Apologies. I've just read all the the posts since my last visit, (which appears to have been the day before the foal was born) and I noticed that Gordon has subsequently said that the pony is a girl, (filly).
