You're welcome Gaynor.
The foal is one of the Carneddau Ponies, which are a very hardy breed. They need to be, living on the Carneddau, as you know, is quite exposed and bleak, particularly at this time of year.
I need to make a visit there, but the weather isn't leaving any opportunities.
Like a lot of reserves, they're suffering excess water, though water damage seems pretty restricted from what I understand.
