Tuesday 16th Sept

No sign of the herd (surely a Play or a Prank of ponies), on the way to the top of the site, but spotted Hoopy and Kat approaching along the top fence line. Went to meet them, but after a quick sniff Hoopy carried on to the top. Kat then galloped to catch up, got between us (not in an aggressive way) and had a couple of snorts. It appeared to me that she was looking after Hoopy? Hoopy's muzzle was covered in flies, many more than the others, and seemed to be concentrated around her nose. She was also looking a bit miserable and was trudging along, but coat and feet seemed okay (have emailed Fiona with more detail). 

Flam and Doune were further along the fence line but heading in the same direction, both looking very well, doesn't look like winter coats have started to grow out yet.
