Sounds like you have a very good plan in mind.
I agree with Nanno having a "Mature" trained goat (Friendly) wether in with your young stock can be a BIG advantage. Leadership and Manners wise. Herd animals copy/learn from their elders. Unlike our children.
I have always kept a nice gelding/ unbred mare in with foals when weaning, it is amazing how fast the foals come around when they see the "Elder" horse getting attention and liking it.
