Goats Charging Ahead on the Trail

[IdahoNancy]

Pack string them for the 1st mile. I find running behavior is less when they are packing weight. I love trekking poles. One in each hand for a double if needed. A flick of the wrist right under the chin and they seem reluctant to pass someone with a pole in their hand. If the goats are traveling in front. Use the tip of the pole to poke them in the rump. They get the idea and keep moving.
I love old goats they have all that stuff figured out. Hopefully they'll teach my new baby when he is a teenager.
