It depends on the breed standards for your country, most dairy and miniature breeds are dehorned but meat and fibre breeds are left with their horns. Any animal that you are showing that has horns needs to be well trained so that it doesn't hurt anyone with its horns.

Why to some goats have horns?
Defense Defense is only one use of a goat's horns. This also applies to sheep. Their horns have blood vessels running through them, and the horns help to regulate and cool the blood's temperature, especially on hot days. It is much like a dog panting or us sweating. Having their horns is very important. Many goats (and sheep) are hornless. This is because they were disbudded (horns were surgically removed) or they are polled (horns didn't grow in due to breeding for that purpose). Disbudding is painful and should be done by a qualified veterinarian only, as unexpected side effects can occur (especially infection). Polled attributes can result in other mutations in babies, although they are rare.
