Kick off

Geisha our hideously injured Anglo Nubian Goat who has had tons of TLC over the last few months is obviously getting a lot better. Indicators are many, she uses her leg a lot more, even breaks out into a run now and then. We have started to carry buckets over head height again as she has a tendency to try and empty the contents before you get them to their destination.
Today she showed just how much better she is, and at the same time how incredibly stupid she can be.
This little pony, Misty, 33 inches of pent up temper tantrums just waiting for an opportunity to escape, is as placid and calm as you could want a pony to be. That is until she feels her food is being interfered with. So as she tucked in to a fresh wedge of hay the last thing she wanted was Geisha jumping the fence uninvited. As soon as Geisha landed Misty landed a double hoofed kick buckeroo style and continued until the bewildered goat cleared the fence out the field and out of range. Misty got on with breakfast while Geisha with as much dignity as she could muster set off down the lane looking for someone else to bother.
