At 11:00 this morning, I met Nicky onsite as she came to collect Polly, who is returning home to the New Forest for a short break and to have her feet trimmed. The ponies had been grazing in the pasture near the water trough, enjoying plenty of fresh grass in the sunshine. With Polly heading home, there are now just two ponies and the foal remaining at Hawley Lakes Reserve.
The ponies remained perfectly calm throughout, but I stayed with them for a further forty minutes after Nicky left to make sure they remained settled. They were all very friendly, taking turns to wander over and spend some time with me, enjoying plenty of strokes and rubs. I said my goodbyes at 12:10, leaving them grazing contentedly, with the foal resting nearby.
The boys were resting peacefully deep in the woodland north of the duck pond, so I checked them from a distance today. They were all looking well.
The cows and the ponies were all good today.
