Gio has been one intense bundle of muscle and energy from the moment he was born. He's learned to dial it back, and has impressed us with his level-headedness.
Because we tragically and unexpectedly lost Gio's 3/4 sib Dunc'n Hawk — previously destined to be Gwen's next harness llama — we knew we'd retain Gio to see if he would work out in that role. Gio has been pretty jazzed about his advancing lessons with Gwen. who is pretty darned jazzed to get a second chance, as it were, with a harness and packing prospect of Gio's caliber.
We didn't think we'd need or could even use Gio as a stud unless (as we'd said) some serious and untoward "life happens" event occured. Well, that event might happen. Instead of being a happy working gelding, Gio is staying intact — at least for now — as a backup for his sire.
"Gio" is short for a number of Italian names; it's also the name of an exceptional red dun Fjord stallion. Urban slang defines "Gio" as "hot" and "godlike". Our Gio is definitely both exceptional and "hot"!
