Joey Gold'n Heart x Slate Peak's Aurora
Arwen was born with a fawn stripe down her spine from poll to tail just like one of our Fjord horses! She clearly had dad Joey's stamina and strength from the beginning.
We were very excited about Arwen's potential as a breeding llama, were also looking forward to enjoying her as a fun and capable packing companion. However, Arwen has been consistently showing a lack of maturity for her age, and she also has an odd way of expressing it. Even her mom got thoroughly exasperated from managing Arwen's emotions.
Arwen's behavior has improved over the last year with a 2-month course of CBD and the departure of whirlwind-personified Fiona, so we're hopeful Arwen can achieve decent emotional balance as she finishes maturing.
We are still considering Arwen a probable non-breeder for now, although we will of course continue to re-evaluate that decision over time.
Arwen is a Welsh name meaning a muse; it also contains the Welsh element for white or bright. Our Arwen is definitely a thinker, and she's mostly white in appearance. Most people immediately associate the name with the daughter of Elrond and lover of Aragorn in Lord of the Rings, but that wasn't our inspiration.
