pony - pixie and goats 2

The goats and ponies get on well together and especially Pixie is never far from his caprine pals.  Perhaps he likes them because they are about the same size as him, most of the ponies ate bigger and boss him about.  Goats are traditionally a calming influence on ponies and highly strung racehorses are sometimes given a goat for a  companion.  We’d be worried about putting larger horses and ponies together unless they knew each other, goats can get chased and kicked until horses realize they can’t run as fast and get out of the way.  The best way to get them on friendly terms is to stable them side by side.  Let the ponies out first so they can get their first turn-out enthusiasm over with, then let the goats wander about after them.   Our ponies are very good natured around goats, it’s Pixie who is their special friend though.
