The poor horses!!! You know how animals have instincts and can predict weather, danger, etc.? Our horses are freaked out! Is it a storm? They are startling and running and refuse to go in the barn! Maybe it's some horse.... disaster.... fore-telling?? Something is scaring the BEJESUS out of them. Could the barn be haunted? Possibly. However, we think we know what it is......................................
Are you ready?
It might just scare you too - are you sure you're ready for this???
AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! It's a scary, 2 foot high, 30 pound.....pygme goat!!!!!
A guy who does the cowboy mounted shooting told Eric that he cured his horse of cribbing (sucking in air while chewing on wood) by getting him a little "buddy goat". Some friends of ours have goats and let us borrow this adorable little goat, Holly, to see if it worked with Cody. Eric brought her home last weekend and the horses are terrified of her. She is the size of Boo, but for some reason Dixie and George, especially, will not go near her. Cody has been pretty indifferent, but not interested enough to stop cribbing. Eric had to actually physically bring the horses into the barn and tie them up to keep them from bolting out. Each time the goat moved, George acted like he was sensing an attack from a mountain lion! She's a tiny, little goat and completely sweet on top of it all. It's hysterical! Why do WE get all the psychotic animals?!

OMG, that is the cutest, albeit funniest looking little critter you have acquired thus far! Hilarious!
You get all the psychotic animals because you're patient with them. It's fate. If they ended up with anyone else they'd be glue by now.
Goats are funny no matter what. Plus, they have rectangle pupils! Cool.
