No, horses hate alpacas. They can sometimes live with them, but they generally find them scary, creepy, and will spook at them. Some horses can live with them though, if they see them for a while across their paddock, or beside their paddock.

∙ 11y agoNo, you cannot ride alpacas.
Alpacas are quite small - and the absence of a hump would make it quite difficult to ride. It takes quite a bit of training for an alpaca to be comfortable wearing a halter - so that they can be lead. Trying to teach an alpaca to be comfortable being ridden would be a long, stressful and likely impossible task. Even if it were possible - they would definitely not hold the weight of an adult, but only a very young child.
