I often drive my llama several miles on quiet ( and not-so-quiet !) roads. She is superb in traffic.

  • Looks cute- but minis are so much better.

  • Ah..but can you drive them?

  • Wow, I didn't know there were harnesses made just for driving llamas! I'd been wanting to learn to take cart driving lessons, but no one in our family has a horse and we can't rent one. My aunt however raises llamas and alpacas and has at least 20 on her ranch in Colorado. We were joking about hitching some of the llamas up to a small sleigh, but I didn't know you actually could! Question, have you ever tried putting llamas in teams, or heard of it? She has a big sleigh, too heavy four one.

  • I, personally, drive two in a hitch, but not with any great success. The world record, unbelievably, was set in Wisconsin some years ago by a guy named Floyd Zopfi, who single-handedly drove fifty-six llamas in fourteen rows of four! But breaking a llama to harness requires much committment and time.

  • Thank you for your interest.

    The very best starter is a video, now also a DVD, made by Bobra Goldsmith in the '80s entitled "Training Llamas to Drive". It is comprehensive. It is still widely available: just Google in the title. Or get back to me for further help. Yes, driving is great fun.

  • I'm working at it! Check back soon; llama is having problems with the clutch pedal currently.

  • wow what a well behaved llama

  • Really cool video!! Do you have training tips for other llama owners on where to get started? My BBF has llamas and a farm full of critters, I keep telling her driving is so much fun.

  • When I saw Llama driving, I expected to see a Llama behind the wheel, this video is a rip off! I want to see a Llama in a Car.

  • I'm not sure if I'm supposed to put this on YouTube but if you Google in "Llama Hardware" it will put you through to my supplier.

    This is a truly amazing business where all the stuff is beautifully tailor-made and hand-finished to one's own requirements, at an incredibly low price. Added to this, the proprietor, a llama driver herself, gives any advice you request on harnessing or driving. Truly a company of the "old school".
