First Day with the Halter!

Today, I was catching up on grass and weed clipping. We took care of a few chores that were not taken care of for the past few weeks while we were traveling. We decided to try a little halter on Winny for about five minutes today. She was very good about the experience and I think we left it on long enough for her to not get upset while wearing it. Usually llamas are not halter trained until about 4 months of age. I am eager to walk may and Bella out of the pen and get them grazing in other places. In order to do that safely, I would like to be able to have a halter on Winny as well. Her training has officially started! She is taking all of our handling of her very well, and she is a sweet little girl who comes up to visit every time we come in the pasture! She has a great personality thus far!

Here is Winny, getting used to her new halter: Here, Winny puts up with me hanging on to her to remove the halter:
Here is proud Mama getting a nice scratch and massage! We had a good reunion!
