Thursday 7th Nov

 Another grey morning.  The ponies were by the east gate, looking a bit morose, but alert and well.  No eye problems visible and no other concerns.  Troughs OK, although the level of the east trough has dropped a bit.

Wednesday 6th

 4 ponies were between the lower path and the slope beyond the bottom trough, Kat or Flam was at a distance from the others. All looked well, eyes cleared up. That trough was full. Some litter between the gate and the road, and near the barrier to the Dongas. Left it as we didn't have a bag.

5th end of day

Emily and I checked on the ponies at the end of the day. We put eye drops in Hoppy's left eye again successfully. It looks so much better, you wouldn't know there was an issue. Hoopy and Doune had a bit of a kicking session but both appeeared fine - I just had to clear out of their way quite fast! Hoopy does appear settled and confident in the group despite this.

Tuesday 5th November

Remember remember...to check on the ponies. They were in their usual place up at the top of the site. Kat was having a fun roll when I arrived, and Hoopy came right over for a sniff. It was almost like she was expecting someone else, and rather rudely didn't hide her disappointment. But she's looking so much better now, her eye looks pretty much back to normal and her coat is growing out beautifully. The others are all looking good too, and they were a pretty close knit group today, which is great to see. Happy days 😁.

Look at Doune - "that's close enough son" - she's great!

Monday 4 November

 The ponies were near the bottom of the reserve. 1 by itself. The troughs were full.

Sunday 3 Nov

 Two firsts today!!

The ponies were split up by more than a hundred metres!

And 2 were seen drinking from the trough!

Fri 1st Nov

Jess booked the vet to come and microchip Hoopy and the get had a look at her eye too.  She couldn't see anything to worry about but has given us eye drops for the next 5 days.  The ponies are all looking really good and seem to be pretty settled with each other.
