Gilbert's Trek

[DownUnder Gal]

Hi HHB, thanks for your thoughts. I am definitely Gilbert's security blanket but he has two best friends back in the herd. My goal is ultimately to take more than one goat out on the trail but I think I need to practise stringing them at home before I attempt this anywhere else - unfortunately we have unrestrained dogs in the area. Gilbert doesn't seem to be bothered being away from the others, I think he generally likes the little treks we are doing. I think I just need to get him fit so upon return he's not huffing and puffing and therefore a target for the others. Most of my goats are wild/ferals (including Gilbert) so they can be very brutal with their "jousting".
