Hi Trl The Duke x Lost Creek Sagehopper
Toya'ana is a brainy and bouncy young llama, very obviously related to her aunt Fiona. She measured 42.75" at one year, and 46" at age two.
Toya'ana is almost everything we bred her to be — standard Classic coat, level-headed, high-energy, and a top-notch body for packing. For our own goals and purposes, we'd have preferred Toya'ana was a size and type more suited to driving in harness, but that doesn't take away from the rest of her exceptional talent for the trail.
We had planned to retain Toya'ana for our breeding program — at least initially — but between her clear packing-only type (not suitable in harness), how we project she would produce with our unrelated studs, and how much Jim was smitten with her 7/8-in-blood sib Rowena (who shares Toya'ana's size but does have harness-quality gaits), we reluctantly agreed that Toya'ana was in the category of "we wish we could keep them all ... but reality is, we can't."
Toya'ana is now in a great new home with agemate Harlequinn and Harlequinn's mother Miranda, and we look forward to a lifetime of updates on her adventures and achievements!
Toya'ana means mountain peak in the Shoshone language.
