Then we turned right to follow a track through the woods, carrying straight on at the first junction, and eventually turning right. None of us has seen ponies here before, but there were three, all with magnificent winter coats.
It was simply a question of following the track until we arrived back at the gate. From here it's about a mile back, retracing our steps. Reflections and puddles:
This is an enclosed piece of woodland, so we think a) a new super-intelligent breed is evolving, capable of opening the gates; b) they've sneaked in through some gap; c) someone has put them there. It's an area where we often walk, and my daughter often runs there, so we know it quite well.
I'm always interested in comments, corrections, suggestions for making the blog better . . . I keep changing these settings - hope you manage to comment!
A lovely part of the country Alison, albeit wet underfoot at the moment. Ponies in the New Forest, now there is a novelty.{:))
