While I think horses are great. I own a goat. It cost me 10 times more than any horse, and though the antics of him are great (could use more ;) ). I was wondering if there can be something more done with them. Right now our commands are very limited. It would be nice to train them to do various tricks like the horses. I can not see a battle goat (though that would be interesting). But I would like to be able to cast spells while I'm mounted, and to other various things with it. I can't even hand feed him. He does gobble down coins really fast, but other things on the ground he leaves alone.

I just wish there weren't so many off rooms that ya can't lead or ride a goat into.

Amiss cuts the deck in half and shuffles the two halves together. The cards, however, are unwilling to cooperate and scatter everywhere. Amiss scrambles to quickly reclaim them, looking slightly embarassed.
Amiss says, "Bother."

I know this comment comes late for this thread, but...
Have you ever had goats? They can be mean pushy things, and I think they could be just fine in at least some forms of combat. I imagine they would be considered quite quirky compared to a horse though.
When I was a teen, we always kept a few goats to run around under the horses. Most of them were fine and friendly, but we had one goat on our farm that you had to grab his horns (or threaten to thwack him with a rope) and walk sideways around him if he was even close, or else he would try to knock you over. He came all the way up to my hips. I didn't miss him one bit when he went.
Our goats could go through all the fences, and jump from the floor of the stalls up into the horse mangers, so you would think a goat could take it's gnome into all sorts of dangerous spots even better than a horse.
