Forgot about this part of your post... I have a goat that used to accompany my horses on very long, steep trails in the mountains at high altitude (9-12,000 feet or so). We never had a problem with him getting left behind although I never packed him on these trips--he was just a companion. He could go a lot more places than the horses, so I don't think you'd have to stick to mild trails. If your goats were packing weight then you'd have to stop for rest breaks, but without a pack he should have no problem keeping up the pace unless you're on gaited horses. A goat that goes on outings with horses needs to be very fit, but he can do it if he's properly conditioned. Mine did it for years and loved every minute of it. He never even got left behind when we would take a gallop through a meadow.
