Exceeding Expectations

Beka from The Owls Approve stopped in for a visit as she and her awesome hubby trailblaze their way through Europe on their epic trip. I stupidly forgot to take a single picture so i guess that is how I exceeded my own expectations this weekend as usually i love taking pictures, unfortunately I think i spent way too much time talking.

Kika and particularly Nancy played a key role in the Luxembourg leg of the trip. Beka, Nancy, Kika and i went for a stroll in the woods together Saturday morning. Unsurprisingly Nancy was her usual stellar self and didn't put a foot wrong for our tour of the greenery & forestry offered by my neck of the woods (no pun intended).
The equine that exceeded expectations was Kika, guuuuurl stepped up & brought her A-game to our meander through the trees. Homegirl not only kept her shiz together for the most part ... we had one minor discussion where B & Nancy kindly took the initiative to hold Kika's hand and give her a lead. She had a couple of Kika moments where she trembled in fear over a patch of sunlight or a leaf or something - what can I say - how her mind works is beyond my understanding. K's overall demeanour and desire to stride out in the lead for a lot of our stroll was what won her my utmost awe and respect yesterday. Especially when we factor in that she hadn't been ridden since the previous Saturday and relapsed into terrified of breeze rustling leaves & a wet patch on the ground today.
I will never truly understand this horse but am beyond delighted that she was on her best behaviour yesterday and probably made Beka question my accounts on the blog, so much so that I doubt she'll ever truly believe Kikas typical carry on when I share it in the future.
Yes folks, K was that good!

Apologies for lack of relevant media for this post, as i said I'm an utter muppet and didn't snap a single pony picture to commemorate my blogger meet up.
I truly am a grade-A muppet. *sigh*

I hope R & D enjoyed themselves as much as i did, I fear I talked the ears off them at times and possibly walked the feet off them too. My door is always open & my ponehs are always up for a stroll in the woods for any bloggers that may find themselves in our neck of the woods!
