Oh I love it Ann... they're just soooo cute aren't they. Looks like mutual preening, but I didn't know wee ones did that.

It reminds me of a picture I took of some of my ponies waaaay back in the '70s. Three of them were in a circle, each grooming the hard-to-get to bits of another. From memory, I think two of them were chewing at the mane area and one around the top of the tail. It is quite common to see two pair up for this grooming session, but it was the only time I saw three of them together.
 
A great caption for this delightful capture, Doc !!! Thanks for sharing. Best Wishes.
