Saturday 2nd March

A bit chilly this morning with the ponies milling around the corral and Flam up by the trough eating bush. Kat was enjoying the salt lick whilst Dounce was having a very satisfying scratch on the nearby sheep hurdles. Their coats were still a little damp, but they were drying off nicely. 

I also thinks it's kind of Doune to keep the briars in her hair as it makes identification much more certain and quick, she's pretty determined to keep them despite no ends of persuasion. 

They all looked in good shape, moving freely, alert and attentive. No cuts or abrasions, bare patches or anything. Rears were nice and clean (ish) and ears and eyes quick to respond to movement and my constant chattering to them (which for some reason they showed very little interest, rude).
