Merri Travels

I take my mare to our local mission farrier school, and they have horses that are recupting from surgery etc, so they let their very special goat wander the barn and paddocks, she just crawls under the fence and into the paddock and then she administers any good goat jokes or goat sympathies that she knows, Mark Plumblee the school ower, says she is worth her weight in happy horses. She is usually found with the horse that needs her the most, and then when she is finished with that horse she goes on to the next. What I failed to say is that Mark and his wife have a contract with the county and when ever a horse case comes up, unfed, injured animals etc, starvation etc, those horses come to their barn, and their goat is the horse nanny and will go in and out of the paddocks and see horse after horse until they all feel better!!! I just love it... Pam

Thank you

We have had Pygmy goats for years as pets. They are a blast have around and excellent for the horses. Gus would sometimes stand on his hindlegs to exchange a sniff with one of our horses and sometimes would walk right under the horse's belly. Thank you for sharing. ~Annabelle
