Poor Joey. Do you guys remember Joey? He is our family Llama. He’s the second llama my family has had. Llamas are good protector animals for our critters. I’ve heard of them spitting, the only time I’ve ever seen Joey spit though was at the sheep at feeding time when they ate his food :)….
When I was younger I was fairly active in the AQHYA (American Quarter Horse Youth Association) and even more so in the NYCHA (National Youth Cutting Horse Association).

I'm not familiar with the headgear, bosal part of your gear. Looks interesting, like it would give you more lateral control than the bosal we use. Care to explain it?
