Goats make the perfect addition to any farm or large property. On top of being cute, they also play well with other animals and are great around people too. DO ✓ Give them plenty to do All goats, particularly young goats (called kids), are playful and curious by nature, so they require an environment that will encourage activity in order to satisfy these natural instincts. Goats need an area with sufficient space for them to run around and play. You can provide them with an enriched environment by giving them things like balls and haystacks to play with. Goats also like to climb, so providing them with sturdy crates or non-slip tables will help them to express this natural behaviour and keep them entertained for hours. DON’T ✗ Keep goats on their own Goats prefer to be with other goats. They are social creatures who like to live in herds. If a goat is lonely, they will start to act out in fear, boredom or frustration, which can be no walk in the park! Keeping goats in a group is ideal, but if there are no other goats around, other animals like horses, cows and sheep will do. The owner or stockperson will need to keep in mind the competition for food and resources between the species. You may need to separate them at feeding time to ensure everyone is getting their fair share. Source: www.rspcasa.org.au/caring-for-goatss/

Women were involved with horse racing in Australia by the 1890s. Since then, they have owned horses, rode horses, gambled on horses, and attended races. Their participation in the sport was hampered because of a lack of facilities and participation rates were not as high as in other sports. Women were involved in gambling on horse racing in Australia during the 1890s. They won some money by placing bets and in some cases were calling odds on races.[1] Women frequently attended horse racing events as spectators in Queensland during the second half of the nineteenth century.[2] By the late 1920s, there were efforts to ban horse racing in Australia because the sport was seen to have a corrupting influence on Australian women.[3] In 1934, the first female-owned horse was entered in the Melbourne Cup.[4] Women were involved in horse racing around the country by the 1930s. They were among the attendees at a 1939 race in Yass, New South Wales.[5] By the 1950s, women were dominant in the horse racing industry, with several wealthy women such as Elizabeth Arden being well-known owners and Elizabeth Dangerfield, Elsie Morris, and Judy Johnson being well-known trainers. While not being urged to avoid competition, women had few opportunities to compete in sports in Australia until the 1880s. After that date, new sporting facilities were built around the country and many new sports clubs were created.[7] By the 1930s, Australian women were involved as participants in the sport as a means of getting physical activity. This was characterised by at least one newspaper as being part of the "Cult of the Amazon."[8] In 1940, a study of 314 women in New Zealand and Australia was done. Most of the women in the study were middle class, conservative, Protestant, and white. The study found that 183 participated in sports. The third most popular sport that these women participated in was horse riding, with 38 having played the sport.[9] The ninth most popular sport that these women participated in was horse racing, with 3 having played the sport.
