Meet Yani


Yani is one of our four rescue llamas. He came to us with Eric at the end of 2009 after having been kept as "ornaments" in a field for around 5 years, after which it appears the owners sold the property, moved away and just left Eric and Yani behind in the field.

We are not sure of Yani's exact age but believe he was born sometime around 2003. He was unhandled for around 5 years and also seems to have suffered from some inappropriate handling methods before he came to us which left him very scared of being handled. We have worked steadily and gently with him over the years and he is now much happier about being handled, wearing a head collar and even having his toe nails trimmed.

As he is now elderly and is on medication for arthritis in his back legs he doesn't come out on our walks, preferring to spend his time pottering quietly around the paddock and watching the world go by, or having a nice roll in his dust bath.
