This is little Forest Gump, a four month old, bottle fed baby who is 3/4 llama, 1/4 alpaca. He was born with bent legs and had to be in calipers to help straighten and strengthen his legs. He is a dear little chap and charmed everyone.
His owner Nils is a real soft touch, and when Forest showed an interest in his raspberry muffin, Nils shared it with him. Yes, Forest got the lion's share!!
Our tutor was very knowledgeable and very experienced and explained all the different types of saddle, how to put the saddle on, and load the panniers.
Archer was a star pupil, and although he'd never had a saddle on before he took to it like a duck to water.
Grooming prior to putting the saddle on so there are no burrs or grass seeds to rub on the llama's skin.
Illaria's llamas and the horse from next door watched the proceedings with great interest.
Tanya is a spinner, who very recently feel under the spell of llamas, now a committed llama lover :)
