Really, most goats seem to be born for this. Its funny to me to see the dairy/meat goat people on goatspot get so amazed that you can 'actually go hiking with a goat'! I bet most of their friendlier goats would do just fine, but they have never tried.
On my first night out with the goats in the desert, Shelby was looking down at me in my sleeping bag like a creep for several minutes. Then PLOP he bedded down right near me after he figured out this must be bed time. It worked great until a friends adult herd of loose goats made some noises in the weeds and he kept jumping up all alert. One of those times he straddled me and after he figured all was clear... Peed on my sleeping bag. I now have a hammock.
