The Art of Natural Dressage

My friend's goats have just had a baby. The male is being very aggressive with his daughter as he wants to mate again. So he has come to stay with me for a while. It's funny because his name is Freckles just like my horse.

So ... TAH-DAH ... introducing Little Freckles doing his favourite thing - head-butting

Isn't he just the cutest little chap?

About 2min 14 sec I saw a horse saying "What the blummin' heck!!!???"

Yeah Glen, really cute until you are walking with a food bowl and he butts you in the back of the knees. Far too much testosterone to be "thinking".
What is in the sack. He is really loving that game. xx

Suzie, all the horses were very when he arrived, but he and my Freckles have lived together before so it should be fine soon. He has grown up as a pet and does not butt you behind the knees. He prefers to invite you to play and then goes for your shins. Ouch!

The sack has a little sand in the bottom of it.

Karen, he is very brave. I took him for a little walk yesterday and he was doing approach and retreat all by himself when he was nervous.

I offered him 3 places to sleep. We made a platform on top of the woodpile for him - and he ate his forage there. We put some hay in a kennel for him and he inspected it. Then he found the stairs that lead to the unoccupied "bachelor flat" in the back-yard and moved in Hilarious!
