Some of you know my oldest son Caleb rides goats. In fact he was devistated when our Nubian doe Butterscotch died as she was his best ridding goat. Last week we picked up four market wethers to fatten and since we got them they have put some good weight on at least for now. Goathater was getting ready to leave for work and looked out the bathroom window when he yelled for me so I of course looked. Caleb was out ridding the market wethers. When they got tired of him ridding they laid down on their knees and he would fall off over the heads. So me being the wonderful Mommy I am got the video camera and taped him on two or three differant goats. I was laughing so hard that I could hardly shoot the film. Normally the goats have collars and he holds on to that then he gets a stick and taps them on the but to direct them. Don't worry he just taps. This time he had no collar or stick. So he held on at the wither and reached back and grabbed the goats by the tail. To get the goat to walk he pulled the tail, two yanks got a trot, except on the LaMoncha he clamped his tail and laid down. Calebs best ridding goat now is an Alpine wether he seemed to like it. So it's on video anybody got the address for Funniest Home Videos?
