  1. Definitely a miniature horse eats more than a small goat.  Small breed goats (Nigerian Dwarf & Pygmy) generally weigh around 50 - 60 lbs. on average, where a mini horse/mule/donkey would run 150 - 250 for an average adult.  Also, horses are grazers which mean they spend a good part of the day eating grass, where goats are browsers which means they "pick and choose", nibbling on weeds, leaves, and grass.  Goats are also a lot easier to clean up after, as their droppings are small pellets or "berries", similar to rabbit droppings.


  2. weird question :)

    dunno if it's in grass and they are about the same size then the same but then yiu have to think does one have a bigger stomach etc i would say goat no i wouldn't um actually not sure :)

  3. a miniature horse/mule/donkey eats more than a smaller goat.  

  4. A small horse.  Goats (in my experience anyway) like to sample a wide variery of foods, but they really don't eat too much.
