Good things come in small packages, and Goliath is no exception! This pint-size gelding was our COVID-19 quarantine project. We received a call from an animal control officer from Mt Juliet asking us to help catch a miniature horse who is "terrorizing the neighborhood." He was truly a wild child and it took us 2 hours in a 60 ft round pen to simply herd him onto the trailer. He was officially named "Goliath" to represent the size of his spirit. We loved training this feral, un-catchable mini—who has now transformed into a beloved pony and good horse citizen. He fits a unique need in our ministry: He’s an approachable, adorable, transportable, fun little guy for those who may not be ready to work with a bigger horse or pony. Goliath may be small, but don't let that fool you. . . at home, he’s the herd leader! Every herd member listens to him without question, even our 17.2hh draft horse, Buddy!
