Sorry for non-horsey post again

Just had an email saying Fran the goat was found dead in her box on Sunday morning

She arrived at Mossburn 14 years ago, when she was about 3 days old, found beside her mother who had been killed by a car.
She was taken into the house and hand-reared in there, leading to countless times of her having to be told to stop headbutting the front door for some raisins

Despite being raised in the house, she was quite a nervous goat and she chose when to come to you rather than the other way round (unless you had food

) She was also a master at sneaking up on you to relieve her itchy head on your legs

The vet thinks it was probably a twisted gut, but she was such a character and will be greatly missed

And for anyone who wanted to know about Bonnie the raccoon, it is almost certain she was let out by someone, who the following night let all the horses out too

They didn't go anywhere, but Bonnie is still missing

RIP Fran, and what kind of idiot would do something like that?

I can kind of see why they might release a raccoon, if they were stupid enough to think it would be better off in the wild, but horses too? Some people were definitely hiding behind the door when brains were handed out.
