This week has been an exciting one for the ponies – they have been spending a few hours each day in their summer pasture.  This field has a stream in it and tends to be quite wet in winter so it can only be used when the weather is dry enough.  We have been having such lovely weather for the past couple of weeks though that they have finally been turned out.

Only for a few hours each day though – they haven’t been in there for about six months so it it full of lovely, lush grass.  The ponies love it but it would not do their waistlines any good at all if they were turned out there full time!

I thought this first turning out might be very exciting to see but it turned out to be rather dull.  They weren’t at all interesting in running about – all they wanted was to eat that delicious grass.  Very disappointing!
