Can you believe that the Harness Goat Society celebrates its 40th birthday this year!
It’s a huge achievement to have reached this milestone.
In recent years our membership has grown and become worldwide. Through our presence at shows and other events members have introduced many many people to harness goats, something the vast majority of people didn’t know ever existed, and given pleasure to hundreds of children – and adults- who have enjoyed seeing and petting our wonderful goats.
To celebrate this commemorative year we have commissioned animal and wildlife artist, Anna Cara, to produce drawings from photos from the four decades for an anniversary tea towel.
Anna, who is a member of HGS, has given her time and expertise entirely free. She says: “I was both honoured and daunted to be asked to produce these drawings. My medium is pastel and I work in colour so pen and ink drawings is not my fortê. I’m also not at all familiar with harnesses so trying to work out from photos what was harness and what was goat or cart was somewhat challenging, particularly from the older photo. I must also point out that I don’t draw people!! I do hope that members will feel that I have at least done their goats justice and will buy lots of tea towels to raise funds for this wonderful Society.”
