Goat Group

[Catahoula]

There is someone in Aptos/Santa Cruz area. She makes harness/saddles for goats and sell them on Etsy. I don't know if she actively is hiking but she does some carting with goats and would be someone to chat with. I don't have her contact info but you might be able to contact her through Etsy. This is her store.
