I dislike goats as well. I do fine it odd these goatsellers I run into have no problem supporting these ME invaders. They just see a quick buck.
If you like horses, you ought to try mules. Smarter, stronger, and healthier than horses.
In the earlier years of the ranch we had donkeys as well as horses. That was enough. Loved the Donkeys. They were like huge playful, loveable dogs. They really enjoyed cuddling, and playing with their people. Only problem was cuddling, and playing with something as large as a Donkey can be quite painful. I’d rather still have Donkeys though than the horses simply because they are so much more friendly, and playful.
Our Donkeys all passed on around thirty years age. The horses we have are about that age now, but could go on for quite awhile longer.
