A group of very friendly Shetland ponies welcomed us into their field where a right of way leads to the peri track next to RAF runway. They seemed to be wanting affection but were probably looking for food. Pip the pooch, needed to be coaxed through them as they all ganged up at the turnstile. I am usually too nervous to approach horses but I enjoyed patting these little ones though. This elderly looking pony that I took photo of seemed to really enjoy rolling in the grass next to us. According to Equusite.com ponies roll 'for pleasure, for self maintenance or grooming, to relieve pain or discomfort, or for rest.'
