Simon - 14:30. Remaining ponies collected by grazier this afternoon. All done for another year - thank you for help with the checks! Simon sends his thanks also and said it’s been fun and kept him fit playing hide and seek with the ponies around Ibsley Water!
We had a contractor out earlier this week to quote for new field gates to replace the 6 Hampshire gates around the shoreline. We hope to get this done around Christmas and will make next years checks much easier!

11:00. Ponies checked and 3 removed from site (Sass and the 2 geldings). 3 left to be collected in coming days
13:00 - All 6 located mid way up section 1. Close checked and no apparent issues although I did spot split in the chestnut roan mare's off side hind hoof which I had not seen looking so obvious before.
10:00 - All 6 located around the elephant garden area. Close check: no apparent issues. More interested in browsing trees/ bramble bushes than eating grass.
10:00 - All 6 located near the cemetery, browsing through the trees. Close checked and no issues apparent.
10:00 - All 6 found, eventually, spread out in the (very wet) marshy area just south of the cemetery. Very dense fog made the task tricky, with even the ponies calling to each other in poor visibility. All checked over, no concerns.
