Although there were floods late last year, many of the fields are so dry they are cracking. There is no grass for the ponies to eat in some fields and so these ponies are eating hay. The tractor even needed to be modified before it could go on the fields. More wheels on the tractor

Not all of them need more water, some could possibly do with drying off a bit. These pictures are in May, with some of the lower fields are still waterlogged.

Here are some of the ponies in their wet fields.
