Life at Triple S Horse Farm: Nanabell has enlivened things

She was acquired for the calming effect she would have on the horses boarded for training, but this one-goat herd's love of heights has landed her in a heap of trouble.

ColumbiaMagazine.com story

Master photographer Melissa Taylor sent us a photo sequence proof of a transgression which took place at Triple S Horse Farm this week.

The sequence shows her brother's, Lenny Stone's, goat, Nanabell on top of Melissa's car, Lenny coaxing it down while here nephew Corey watching, found the incident hilarious; and finally, a picture of Nanabell gracefully making her way off the vehicle.


Melissa sent this information with the photo:
"Coaxing a goat off the top of a car is easier than it looks. And of course, it's much funnier if it's someone else's car! Playground or parking lot, they're all the same if you're a goat! Goats that make the best stew are those that stand upon the cars of visitors."
Those are the facts. Here are the details.

The incident was a funny matter to her nephew, Corey Stone, but for Melissa's brother, Lenny Stone, it was a sober one.
Lenny Stone told us the rest of the story.

Lenny Stone bought the goat to be a calming companion for horses he trains. Nanabell was generally given the run of the place, except for what is proscribed in the Two Goat Commandments: I: Thou shalt not enter the Stone House, and the more serious one, II. Thou shalt not walk on the roof of thy owner's sister's new car.

Nanabell had already been in the screened in porch, a serious misdemeanor. But when Melissa Taylor stopped by for a visit earlier this week, Nanabell committed the mortal sin, and scaled the heights of her Chevy.

Lenny Stone did finally whisper the goat down, as a Melissa Taylor photo sequence on Flickr shows, but there's still an element of man, goat, and man's sister's car conflict at Triple S Horse Farm.

Since the infraction chronicled above, and despite stern hints about goat stew, Nanabell has violated Commandment II again.

Sadly, the man for whom training horses is as natural as walking admits that educating Nanabell is more of a challenge. "Yes," he said, "she's done it again."

She still likes car roofs.

What will happen next is anybody's guess.

Reader comment and suggestions for Mr. Stone could be tolerated. If any CM reader has read any good articles or seen any Oprah segments on How I Kept My Goat off My Sister's Malibu, email them to us.

Owing to the mood of the situation, we may forward them to Triple S.
