Ponies were resting and warming themselves in the sun just before the compound . They were all well with no issues.
Came across the cows just at side of compound. They were grazing in the sun. Had long back rubs with 3 of them. No issues.
We found the ponies in the snow. They looked ok ..a bit wet. All had a stroke. Eating snow with gorse so getting water that way.

There is also water on the track that goes across from G5-I4. The puddles are beginning to melt and i broke as much as I could. The area where the pipe is had flowing water..i broke the ice that was in this area.
The track from H3 to L4 also has lots of water along the side that is not frozen.
Doesnt show well in photos but there is water in the area they were in today

We went to the trough and on way back the ponies were in the same place and the boys had moved to F3
