keeping goats fit

[sdgoatlady]

I second the pack string idea. Sdgoatlady, am I correct in thinking that you only have just the two goats? In that case, a leash splitter might be just the thing. I got one last year and used it all summer and fall so I could walk two goats with just one leash. Worked like a charm. You can either hook it to both goats' halters and put your leash in the center ring if you want to control both goats equally; or you can hook your leash to your lead goat's collar, then hook one end of the splitter to your lead goat's collar and the other end of the splitter to your tail goat's halter. (Hope that made sense.) Dogs can use a splitter too and that way you have fewer leashes to deal with. Having your goats tied together can make things easier even if you unhook your leash and let them follow. That way if there's a spook they can't go bolting in opposite directions. Usually at least one goat will come straight for you, and if you grab him, you've got them both.

Thank you for that suggestion.  I actually have 5 goats but only walk the two 6 month olds, so that could work!  I'll give it a try.
