Sunday 15th March

 A pleasant but blustery day. Site looking great with all the new clearance works. Well done to Fi and team. The ponies were having a lazy morning by the top gate. All looking well.

Thursday 12th March

 Quite blustery this morning, but the ponies were happily grazing (a mixture of grass and bits of hawthorn bush), about 300m along the top track, either on the track or just a little way down the hill.  All well, and the trough near the entrance was full - I didn't check the top one.

 Back to grey days for a while it seems. Ponies found just off the lower track enjoying feasting on the new hawthorn buds. All looking good.

Saturday 7th March

A bit murky on the Hill today, managed to find the ponies in two groups. Flam and Doune were along the fence line path, about halfway along, both having a bit of lie down. Doune got up as I arrived. Then about another 100 metres or so further up were Kat and Hoopy, both grazing away. They all looked well.

Thursday 5th March

 A lovely sunny morning, and the ponies were quite spread out -  1 close to the corral and trough, and the other 3 approx 200m further along the top path.  All grazing happily and only stopping for a brief moment to check on me.  They all looked well, and the trough by the entrance was fine

Tuesday 3rd March

Spring has sprung on the Hill, well the sun's out and there are Brimstones fluttering passed. The ponies were along the top path quite near to the top gate, all lucky very happy and fluffy in the sunshine. All look well. Flam is very soft, but also very dusty!



Mon 2nd March

Our new looker Charlotte checked the ponies in the afternoon. They were all up at the top end of the site. I was on site too for meetings with contractors. The ponies have been loving bark stripping all the freshly cut scrub we have piled around the site for them. A lovely spring day!

Sunday 1st March

 A drizzly damp day and the ponies were spotted ….finally, having emerged from the depths of the bottom track. They look fit and healthy and were busy grazing.
