Goat, Stable supervisor, mascot, and bin cleaner

Our stable goat has been with us longer than any of our employees and we thought worthy of a mention. She made the move with us from our original stables at Hobsons Lodge (although it took several strong people to move her) and has settled in well. Found as a baby at the back gate of Hobsons Lodge, she's lived at the stables for about 10 years and she loves her horsey friends as much as they love her. She's also very popular with our owners with her main role being supervising the horse walker every afternoon, stable mascot, and self appointed food tester.
