Our Hector....It was quite obvious from day one that Hote was going to bond with the alpacas, as he seemed quite happy to be in their company and vice versa, but there were times when he was left on his own and he looked very lonely. He had come from a herd of over fifteen, so he was obviously missing his family and friends.
We therefore decided to try and find him a companion and through our network of friends here we discovered that there was a donkey for sale at the stables of one Juan Jesus Guerrero Dominguez, situated in the valley below the Ronda Tajo.
Well can you guess what I got for my 60th birthday present……
The moment we saw him being ridden up the track by Juan Jesus, we knew he was for us.
He is fourteen years old, fully trained and has a lovely temperament. Sadly, he didn’t have a name so we have called him Hector.
Having arranged a moving certificate with the OCA office in Ronda, Hector arrived with us on the 27th October in a much more civilised way than poor Jote I’m pleased to say. Juan Jesus delivered him personally in his horse box and calmly led Hector over to our paddock where he met Hote for the first time.
Although we had a few problems initially with dominance issues, they now both get on very well together and Hector is the most perfect companion for Hote, who has come on leaps and bounds since his arrival.
