Introducing Goat Nation

We’re thrilled to introduce the newest member of the Nation Media family: GOAT NATION!

We at Nation Media have always made it our mission to bring you the best the horsey internet has to offer, from the best eventing coverage on the web at Eventing Nation to the latest ridiculous pony video at Horse Nation. We’re excited to share a sneak peek at our newest website to join the Nation Media family — introducing Goat Nation.

Here’s a screengrab of the home page on its test server:

“Goats are basically the new cats of the internet,” describes Nation Media publisher John Thier. “People dress them in costumes and take them out into public. The kids leap around like little deer. They wear sweaters, for God’s sake. It was high time that Nation Media embraced the goat phenomenon and I’m really pleased to bring this to our readers. No one else out there on the internet is doing what we do.”

“Goats are blowing up the internet,” adds Goat Nation head editor Kristen Kovatch. “If I had a dollar for every time someone shared that video of the goats on the metal slide on my Facebook wall, I’d… well, I wouldn’t have to be working for John.”

With an all-star lineup of sponsors on board and a growing team of freelance writers, Goat Nation is poised to lead the internet into a goaty wonderland. Here’s what you can expect:

• Interviews with top goatherds and dairy maids
• Fun DIY projects to make sure your goats are looking and feeling their best
• Techniques to keep your goats from eating everything in sight and escaping all the time
• More entertaining goat videos than you can shake a stick at
• And of course, plenty of goat news and goaty ridiculousness to get you through your day

“We’re not kidding around here,” Thier adds. “Goat Nation is the future. Goats are where it’s at.”

Keep an eye out for the formal launch of Goat Nation in the coming months!

Go goating. And happy April Fools Day.
