Julie rides to the millage -by llama. Trotting along the lanes of Melton, Yorkshire on her mount, 15 year old Julie Cook generally causes quite stir for she is mounted, not on a horse, but on a llama! Julie's father bought Liberty , the llama for $150 from the nearby Flamingo Park Zoo as a pet - and promised him to Julie if she could break him in. She has now been riding, or trying to ride him for a year, and has at last succeeded in teaching him to be obedient - though he does have a mind of his own, and likes to go his own was occasionally. Julie's whole life's devoted to animals and each year her father Mr. Gordon Cook, gives her one as a present. The Cook family who live in Kirby Misperton, now have quite a collection including two ponies, eight dogs and a bear. Liberty decides to kneel down and let Julie take a walk - and it seems she has no choice in the matter.
