Apollo and Tony: Our two newest llamas were born in spring 2022. This picture shows Apollo at 4 days old. Check out the size of Apollo’s ears! They won’t be joining us on the trail this year – they need another year of growing first. Both are developing well and have good dispositions.
Daisy, Trillium and Jill: These three cuties born in 2020 have been learning to pack for three years, going on longer and longer hikes, learning how to stay behind the person or llama in front of them, and cope with obstacles on the trail. They’re going to start light work this year.
Romie was born in 2018. She started packing in 2021 . She’s easy to approach and has a sweet, cooperative disposition on the trail but takes a while to warm up to leading. She enjoys carrots as a reward!
Stella was born in 2018. She’s remarkably energetic, tall, strong, and agile. She’s also smart: she figured out the ropes in minutes, practically playing jump rope.
She’s quite tolerant when children approach her, though she’s “a bit” skittish about putting on her halter.
Lola, daughter of Illia, turns was born in 2017. She has been a particular pleasure to take on trips and to train. She is strong, easy to handle, with efficient movement, beautiful conformation, and superb endurance. She is curious and reaches out with her nose to smell new people. She’ll even tolerate a pat and a hug after a while (unlike most of the llamas here).
Lolo, son of Lilac, was born in 2017.
He is a sweet fella to work with. He took a long time to get used to mud puddles on the trail! He has a subordinate disposition and doesn’t get into any tiffs with the other boys.
Lolo is tall and slender, nimble on his feet, and is an excellent packer. He is quite hesitant to be in lead position, usually needing a good leader ahead of him.
Dillon was born in 2017. Dillon handles steep ground and rough trail easily, and he leads very well. He likes to walk fast! He is easy to handle and has an energetic demeanor. He is tolerant of meeting people and is quite curious.
Tully was born in 2020 and joined the pack string in 2023. He is very calm and relatively tolerant of close contact with people. He is hesitant to tackle new obstacles but gets there eventually. Tully is the only one who will do solo trips, he is comfortable without companion llamas.
