29th September, 2017 Ripples


A beautiful morning on Woodgreen Common yesterday and the day just got better and better...


Juma and his family were halfway down the hill to the Eyeworth track around a newly formed pond.


The grass and the water were refreshing and the ponies spent almost an hour paddling in the pond.


Juma admired himself...


...and spent time with his half-sister...


...and his nanny.



Nanny likes her drinks stirred not shaken.


Juma seems to be a very sensible foal and I wonder if having so many older nannies, uncles and aunties has made him that way. I rarely see him, or any of the other foals, playing.


Following Uncle Blue...


...and practising some synchronisation...


...before pulling on her plaits.

Next I decided to be daring and took Jack and Henrietta out for a walk by myself. There was a risk that she would disappear on the open Forest but she followed me into the inclosure easily enough.












...and came home again afterwards.
