Tuesday 9th June

Breezy and unsettled on the Hill today. Found the ponies by the top gate, mostly lounging around, and a few more flies annoying them. All looked well if not a little tired. 

The big field by the top gate has exploded into life, full of poppies and wildflowers. Looks stunning, with the promise of more to come! 

Monday 8th June

​​All ponies ok, were further down the hill than I usually find them but other than being very wet , they are all ok . 

Sunday 7th June

 Ponies helpfully gathered by the corral again this morning. 

Saturday 6th June

Managed to miss the rain, but almost missed the elusive ponies. Found them on my second pass along the top fence line (a 100 metres up from main gate). They were all looking well and grazing very happily. 

Thursday 4th June

 All 4 ponies were spread out, 50m or so west of  the top gate and grazing close to the Morestead Rd fence.  Some had obviously been rolling in some mud after the recent rain, but they looked really well, and were enjoying their food much too much to be bothered with more than a passing acknowledgement of my arrival.  Both troughs were full.

Apologies - not able to do the next 2 weeks, but Fiona is aware.  Back after the solstice.

Wednesday 3rd June

 4 ponies were about half way up towards the clump. Dune and Kat near the main path, Hoopy and Flam further down the hill. They all looked fine. Bottom trough full. Lots of orchids among the daises on the verge.

Tuesday 2nd June

Arrived before the rains and found the ponies resting about 100 metres along the main path. Hoopy, Kat and Flam were taking it very easy, whilst Doune was on guard duty and giving me the evil eye😁. They all looked well and Hoopy was rocking a well trendy centre parting.

Monday 1st of June

​A lot cooler today so I think the ponies were happy about that, all at the top of the site together. No issues to report .  

Sunday 31st May

 Ponies gathered by the corral Hoopy very grumpy, a few flies around.
