... that's the Nigerian Dwarf Pack Goat Association.  No, we don't have a website or a FB page or (501)c3 registration or anything like that - we're too busy rocking the trails with our 10lb packs!    



Pros of packing with NDs:

- Fits in the back seat of a Honda Civic or the cargo rack of an ATV (no horse trailer needed)
- Will snuggle up in the tent on a cold night in the mountains
- Won't get stuck on low hanging branches
- Can pack on "No Stock Allowed" trails by pretending to be a dog. Can pack on "No Dogs Allowed" trails by pretending to be stock.
- Don't have to mortgage the house to pay for saddles and panniers
- No climbing trees to set up a highline
- Babies are cuter than puppies or bunnies

Cons:

-  Can't carry a ton. But that just means more exercise for the humans!
-  Hearing "ohh she's so cute" every 10 minutes on busy trails
-  Limited creek fording depth
