I think a horse and a goat will bond if they have no choice of fieldmate, but given one of their own species, both horse and goat would choose that over each other. Some horses really don't like goats (or other smaller animals like dogs, cats, sheep etc) and they are plenty big enough to cause injury, even fatal injury... : ( Mic Mic (Michelle) Rushen ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Solva Icelandic Horses and DeMeulenkamp Sweet Itch Rugs: www.solva-icelandics.co.uk ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Si hoc legere scis nimium eruditionis habes"
