We have 16 llamas kept at Severnwye Farm that we use for treks from Mallards Pike Lake and for displays, shows and other events.
Llama Uses Today
After 5000 years as a beast of burden in the Andes, the llama is your ideal walking companion. In addition to carrying extra equipment, they provide quiet, stable environmentally friendly companionship during your walking day. Rough ground poses no problem for llamas. Indeed, in some areas of North America, horses are banned but llamas are encouraged as they do no damage to footpaths.
Llamas used for trekking offer many benefits. Older people find that they enjoy their walks without the burden of carrying their own equipment. What can be better than to enjoy a picnic lunch that you have not had to carry yourself or to know that your waterproofs are readily available should they be required.
Llamas adapt easily to any outdoor activity that involves hiking or walking with the requirement to carry heavy equipment.
