The filly Dontletsweetfoolya and her goat, Doris
There's a scene in the 2003 motion picture 'Seabiscuit' where trainer Tom Smith cradles a goat in his arms as he walks along the road on owner Charles Howard's California ranch leading to the stable where the movie's cantankerous main character has been keeping his connections on their toes.
“Goat racing?” Howard, played by actor Jeff Bridges, asks.
“Oh, no. Just trying to calm him down a little,” fellow Academy Award winner Chris Cooper, playing Smith, answers. “The smart ones, they hate being alone all the time. Sometimes, another animal just soothes them a bit.”
