That's significantly less than a draft horse, but probably roughly the same as a pony.
- cwp 11y agoActually, the issue there is terrain. Llamas are very agile and can carry loads to areas that neither horses nor carts can reach. Smaller loads, of course, but still much more than a person can carry. Even today, horses aren't really a thing in the Andes, compared to say, Patagonia.
