That would be great but it has been our experiance that the goats normally do not run or buck. My LaMoncha Penny will rear up or just flat out run as fast as she can to dump the kids but she is the exception. I think she would be an rouge if she were a horse, she has even been known to come at people. Caleb used to ride sheep at the rodeo (mutton busting) but he got ran over once and has been done since. Levi aka "Weasle" still rides he says getting run over hurts but not for long. I think he just like the crowd yelling for him. They have a protector vest just like the big cowboys and it has an American Flag sewn on it, the crowd loves it. I really don't want any of my boys "Goathater" included to ride rough-stock but what do you do. Levi has been known to jump off the fence when the ewes walk under him. He normally lands on the sheep and they run but it's not safe to do, I think he has stopped but can't be sure.
