14:45. All ponies checked and looking in good condition, bar the dark chestnut which is still on the skinny side. They’ve done a good job in compartment 4 so I’ve shifted them across to compartment 3. 

Thanks all!

 09:00- All 6 together in the shade by the Hants Gate nr Goosander hide. All fine although the chestnut/ roan mare was a little bit sweaty (but cool) behind her ears and on her neck. None of the others were.

 However, she seemed otherwise content and showed no other signs of any distress or colic i.e. not looking round at her belly or kicking at it and there was no sign she had been rolling. She was also picking at the bramble bushes along with the other 5. Passed this on to Pete .

10:00 - All 6 in lively mood just north of Lapwing hide, probably weather and deer related (lots of both this morning!)

Check over once they were calmer-no issues. Mac's cuts are healing well and his leg is noticeably less swollen now.

 10:00 - All 6 in the shade by the mended Hampshire gate. All fine. Mac allowed me to dab his cuts with a little antiseptic cream which immediately repelled the flies: leg still swollen but doesn't seem to be bothering him.

01/08/2024

 10:00- All 6 together in the shade by Pete's refurbished Hampshire gate. No issues bar Mac: injury about same as when seen on Tuesday: the top of the leg is still swollen and  the larger wound is closed but attracting flies and annoying him a bit. I'll check again tomorrow., perhaps dab with a little antiseptic cream, to repel the flies a bit, if necessary.
