The ponies were loitering by the corral this morning, maybe taking in the shade but also eyeing the green shoots inside it. They were looking well, but whilst I was watching them, Flam led them into the wooden in-channel. As I thought they'd get flustered trying to get out let them into the corral, which they then refused to leave.
And more interestingly Doune and Flam were a little aggressive with each other. Doune was biting Flam's neck and Flam was responding by backing into her. There were hooves in the air too and a fair bit of jostling. But seemed to peter out, so maybe just hi-jinx? Luckily I was well out of the way when the jostling started though, as you can see how easy it would be to get flattened or accidently kicked.
But as they refused to leave the corral, left them for a bit and went to see the sheep. When I got back, somehow Flam had managed to lock the others in the corral! This time I was a little bit more assertive and finally got them out and got all the gates back to their starting positions.
Thanks so much for sorting!!
