Can you ride llamas

A trained, conditioned llama can carry roughly 1/3 of their weight all day, so children and people up to 100 pounds can and do ride llamas. Saddles for llamas are generally made of heavy foam as the llama's spine sticks up a bit which would make riding uncomfortable. Many people put their children on top of the pack saddle the llama wears for hiking/packing.

There are rumours that before the Spanish came to South America and killed as many llamas as they could, there was a breed of llama that could carry a grown man in armour.
