This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] lest you think i have forgotten what list i am posting on, this is fjord related. as you all may know, oz is still at the equine spa while i am rehabbing from my knee replacement (which is going quite well). for some unknown reason hubby got a bug in his bonnet and decided we needed some llamas. he wants to breed them and sell the babies. i was vehemently opposed but for some reason he didn't understand or care, and now we have two of them in the paddock. so far all they do is stand and stare, and get wet. it's been raining cats and dogs for 2 days, and been cold to boot, so our horse charlie has been in the barn. at his age (27) we tend to be a little extra careful with him.
anyhow he hasn't met these creatures yet, and though they lived with horses at their previous home, i am unsure as to how to introduce them to oz when he comes home. does anyone have any experience with horses and llamas? i have heard some tales about some horses being scared seeing them when they are out being ridden, but i am hoping fjords are more sensible and say "hmm, that strange horse needs a trim, now where's my hay?" by the way, he's also adopted two orphan lambs and a boer goat. oz has lived with goats and i am not worried about that, but these hairy things are closer to his size. perhaps it will help that they are timid. laurie, who is not quite sure when hubby will be forgiven for this little event
