Mon 2nd Nov staff check

Ponies found along the top of the site all together.  Looking great and i couldn't see a cut of Hoopy's nose or any missing hair... Flam and Kat came up to be sociable and the other 2 were typically less sociable but that's fine 🙂 winter coats looking lovely and warm. Water supply good to all 3 troughs...

Saturday 31st October

The ponies were by the main trough this morning (on the mound above the corral). All busy eating, even Flam gave me a warning 'huff' to not interfere with eating time! Hoopy was by the trough and looked to have a cut on her nose. On closer inspection (and a jerk back to avoid a lunging nose) just looks like a bit of missing hair, possibly been nipped by one of the others? Other than that, they are all looking well, Kat still very muddy. 

Thursday 29th October

 Pleasant autmnal morning, and the ponies were hiding.  Nowhere to be seen along the top path, and after a bit of clambering, I found them on the bottom path, almost directly below the beech copse.  3 were looking well and were on the lower path (photo looking E):

One, possibly Hoopy, was among vegetation which I decided was impenetrable and full of brambles, (I did try!) apparently eating happily, and so I assume all was well.

Troughs were full.

Small flock of redwings - maybe 8 or so.

Wednesday 28th

 4 ponies were near the entrance. Flam and Hoopy in the corral, Kat and Doune by the trough. All looked fine though Hoopy seemed rather dejected. Trough full. Beautiful sunny morning.

Tuesday 27th October

A bit late today, but the ponies were enjoying the afternoon sunshine at the top of the site. They looked like they'd had a nice afternoon nap, Kat was yawning, Doune and Hoopy were lying down, Hoopy got up and stretched, and Flam looked dopey. But they looked beautiful and more fluffy than last time I saw them (Saturday)!

Mon 26th staff check

Ponies all bright eyed and bushy tailed and plastered in mud! All fine on the hill.

Sunday 25th October

 A pleasant but windy day on the hill. The ponies were ambling slowly across their patch on the left of the main track. Winter coats now showing nicely.
