Hi, I’m Stacey Twisselman

I’ve always loved backpacking, and I’ve always loved goats, so when a friend (Margaret) introduced me to the world of pack goats, I knew I needed a team of my own. What I never imagined was that those same goats would one day becomes professional beverage servers. It all started when my friend’s daughter was planning a wedding that had everything from a Ferris Wheel to a face painter. I figured if there was ever a perfect place from my pack goats, it was there - serving Jell-O Shots straight from their pack bags to the guest. They were such a hit that I soon found myself bringing them to more weddings for other friends’ kids, and before long, my little idea turned into a real business.

And that’s how The Tipsy Hoof was born.

In addition to our pack goats, we have a true unicorn pony that can make any event magical. He is able to cart you right into your event, making your feel like royalty. His skills don’t stop there, he can also serve your guest with baskets and kisses.

In 2025 we have added two little highland cows to the team. They are ready to book your event today!
