A GOAT called Endeavour is to line up with other animals at a racecourse next month.
She will be among the star attractions at an evening meeting at Thirsk racecourse next Monday.
The meeting is being held as part of Herriot Happenings - a week-long celebration of Herriot country.
Staged by the Herriot Country Attractions Group, its 18 members are hosting events including dog shows, plant fairs, a car rally and snail racing.
Among those taking part is the Captain Cook Schoolroom Museum, in Great Ayton. Staff will be manning a display at the meeting and asking visitors to guess how many days at sea Captain James Cook's goat spent during his voyages of discovery.
