Trinity the goat is back from the vets

Trinity the goat is finally home after a week-long stay at the vets. He became dehydrated and stopped eating, which was a real worry, but after some 5-star care from the team at The Horse Clinic (House & Jackson) he’s now back to his cheeky, usual self — we’re so relieved to have him home again.
