After Magnet eats his breakfast of rolled barley I take him out to the front pasture to graze. I don't mow the grass in there yet and he can happily munch away at the different grasses and weeds. He is used to this routine and approaches me when I bring the lead and harness towards him. His natural llamaness still rears its silly head sometimes, but usually he is fully cooperative. He likes the front pasture; He can see all the horses that live on the other side of the street. For the past week there have been several different horses move through the closest corral. The ranch breeds their stallion and we often see various gigantic horse trailers loading and unloading their beautiful mares. After I lead Mags to the pasture and let him loose, I hang around and watch them for awhile. The horses in the corral are attentive at first. Most horses have never seen a llama and are quite curious. Magnet begins to slowly amble over to the fenceline to get a better look, but he won't look at them as he walks over. He will stop here and there for a bite of grass, turn his back on them for awhile and nonchalantly glance at them. Ultimately he will plant himself squarley in front of them and stare for 3 or 4 minutes. the ladies are funny about it too. They pretend they are not looking at him. They turn their backs on him, go poop in front of him, perhaps claiming their territory - I don't really know for sure. They pace nervously and whinny a bit, as if they can't quite make it out. What is that thing?
I am easily amused.
