Now that hikers are starting to use llamas for packing in our area of
National Forest I jumped at the chance to get a couple llamas from friends
who were moving back East and looking for good homes for their extra
animals.  It took a week or two before the horses stopped acting like
they'd encountered aliens,  but now they even chase the llamas away from
their hay rations and tolerate the llamas coming up and sniffing them all
over.  They now might be startled if they suddenly encounter a llama on the
trail, but I don't expect they'll be totally stupid about it.
