Races can be a lot of fun to participate in and observe. If you ever find yourself in a race, just remember that finishing is enough to make you a champion.

Today, your goat of the day is Hamish , the champion of the Oxford Cambridge Goat Race and resident of Spitalfields City Farm in London, UK. With his victory yesterday, Hamish has won the Goat Race four times! Hamish is an African Pygmy Goat, a breed known for its small stature, playful attitude and intelligence.

Well done, Hamish!
A few years ago while surfing the web, I came across the most amazing thing: The Oxford Cambridge Goat Race. This event takes place yearly at Spitalfields City Farm in London, UK. I have been an avid follower of the race ever since. Infact, if it weren’t for the Oxford Cambridge Goat Race, you would not be reading and (hopefully) enjoying Goat of the Day, as the inspiration for this blog came from the race’s Facebook page that often posts a daily goat in the weeks leading up to the big event. This year, the race is set to take place on Sunday, April 7th. In addition to the goats, there are lots of fun activities at the farm, food, and a lovely mariachi band. I highly recommend it.
