10:00 All 6 found grazing near the graveyard in compartment 2, as hoped! They are now confined there,  as I have shut the Hants gate between 2 and 3. Of course,  they may remember how to access compartment 1 by wading in Ibsley Water ....time will tell. Bigger dun mare has a largish lump (approx 1'' in diameter) visible on her ,just behind her right fore leg : she wouldn't allow me near enough to investigate. Possible reaction to horsefly bite. Didn't seem to be bothering her at all. Otherwise, no concerns.
