Goats have no trouble whatever with bridges. At least, not any goats that I've ever heard of. They're not at all like horses in this respect. The only type bridge that can sometimes give trouble are the kinds that are expanded metal or similar where they can see through. They are suspicious because it doesn't look solid, but once they take few steps they don't worry about it any more. The other "problem bridges" are single log crossings. Sometimes a goat will slip off one of these and fall in the river (terrifying if they are loaded with a heavy pack as they can fall upside down and drown). If possible I prefer to have the goats cross through the river if I'm nervous about a bridge accident. Cuzco prefers to cross water than to cross single log bridges. He's old and wise.
