1. It's a modified Llama harness. I forgot where I got it.

2. We did not use a bit. My son and I built the cart with the help of Jay Hurley of Hurley's General Store in Shepherdstown WV.

I think he (he's a wether) will be appearing in Speilburg's new movie about Lincoln.

nice video but seems like a lot for one goat to be pulling...

@TheHobbgobblin Not really. You can see that the cart's well balanced and running pretty much on the level, and that's one strong goat. A child of eight years could pull it with no trouble.

Ever try to have a discussion with a goat that size over taking medicine, or how soon (like instantly) the feed bowl is to be set down within reach?

Where do you guys live? Is this in USA?

Nice! Lovely goat! I had a Toggenburg wether as a kid and trained him to cart. We built a cart, harness, I used a bit then, but now would not; goats mouths are not structured like horses' and a bitless bridle or halter works better. Goats are awesome pets, so versatile!

Sometimes if you take the buggy whip and tickle them between the back legs it will make them move on better. Very cute video, btw.
