Saturday 12th August

After yesterdays exertions on the far part of the hill (the 1:2 slope 😊) I was hoping the ponies would be by the corral, but of course they weren't. Then a 50/50 decision about whether to go along top or bottom path, and chose the lower one. But of course having never been a great gambling it transpired they were along the top path, but only found that out after scrambling up the hill before I'd gone too far (couldn't face the steep bit) and walked out right behind them. They barely acknowledged me and just kept nibbling away at the short grass, young and juicy I guess? They looked well, the only issue I could see was the annoying flies, which seemed to result in much tail swishing.

But moving well, healthy coats, no cuts or marks, and back ends nice and clean (ish...it's all relative). Left them just as the heavens opened.
