Just measured the inside space of the trailer at just over 6’ x 7’ or 42sq feet giving me just over 10 sq ft per llama. My llamas aren’t overly big so thinking it should work.
Trying not to buy more than I’ll need.I know the modern single horse trailers can hold 2 llamas but can the older slightly more narrow trailers hold 2? Trying not to buy more than I’ll need. Thanks
Ha! I started by convincing my wife I needed two llamas. Shortly before I was going to pick them up, I convinced her three was the right number. Several weeks after I had taken the three home, I picked up one more. Going to stop now that I have four llamas....for now lolTrying not to buy more than I’ll need.
This is a flawed thought process. The correct amount of llamas is what you currently have, X+1=happiness.
3-4 llamas is really nice
I have a gooseneck for hauling my horses but after traveling up narrow Idaho mountain roads, I bought a bumper pull because of the fact a gooseneck will not follow a truck up the mountain the way a bumper pull will. If you have a gooseneck, it will not follow right in the tracks of the truck. So narrow switchbacks and tighter turns become an actual dangerous situation.I did the cheap old rusty bumper pull stock trailer, it works fine, I would get nervous sometimes watching other trailers with broken axels on the highway and 4 horses inside, I went ahead and just got a nicer newer gooseneck. after owning a gooseneck I will never go back to a bumper pull, animals ride better pulls better, its safer . and I have a tack room with tons of room for gear.
also you will start with 2 llamas and end up with 3-5, I have 5 now and wont go back, its slightly more work saddling and staking them out and so on, but other than that its perfect I feel
