WB: I hope this is in the right board. I was torn with which it should go to.

Back months ago I had asked if anyone ever 'ponied' a llama and was telling you how I had with Minnie (my llama). A few of us came up with Llamaing a llama and so on if I'm not mistaken. I promised pics then and never got around to them.
This past Sunday I had a chance to get my sister to take a few pics while we had Pandora and Minnie near each other. (Typically when I'm riding the llamas are elsewhere in the pastures). So here are some pics and one video.
Minnie was sooooo concentrated on eating and her friend llama, Autumn she didn't want me to interupt that. Therefore she was acting as good as normal.
I don't actually tie her to the horn either, incase something was to go wrong I don't want her, Pandora or myself being injured. So I just wrap the rope halfway around the horn and hold it on myself. Then if something happened I could quickly drop it without anyone being hurt. Safety for both my girls especially. ;)
Anyways, here you go:

Thanks! Minnie doesn't appreciate it much because she hates Pandora. Pandora tolerates her though and typically won't cause a problem. Minnie on the other hand will look at Pandora across a pasture run to the fence to "see" her and then spit. She won't do this all the time, and she's alot better now then used to, but for some reason she hates seeing her. lol :p I think too Minnie is the more dominant llama (almost as dominant as a male one) and she sees Pandora as a threat, who knows? Llamas are awesome yet odd creatures. :p

That is really neat. Pandora looks great btw. She is all nice and shiny and her muscles are popping! You can tell you take really good care of her!

Thanks everyone for the comments! I really do appreciate it. ;)
It's not something you see everyday and since I promised pics years ago, figured I'd get them finally since I kept forgetting.

And thanks! :) I try my best to take care of her, though in reality she's still showing ribs. She's got a big ol' belly but it hangs and doesn't stay on her sides. I think it may come from being bred straight 4 yrs and not having any breaks and not having the best of care either. :( I'm still giving her a weight supplement though to see if it will help any. Gonna give it a few more weeks since she's not been on it but about 2 1/2 wks now.
Otherwise she stays in great health *knock on wood*.
