Brenda Yates of Chessington is only 14, but has a way with the animals at the Chessington
Brenda Yates of Chessington is only 14, but has a way with the animals at the Chessington Zoo which need training for riding. She has been very successful with the ponies and is now trying out the llamas, Mary and George, which she finds a more difficult task. At the start Mary had a way of slipping her rider neatly off, and when Brenda did get well astride, the llama lay down and refused to budge. However, Brenda has almost got her under control.

EDITORS COMMENTS
Brenda Yates: A Teenage Animal Whisperer at Chessington Zoo". In this print from April 1947, we catch a glimpse of Brenda Yates, a remarkable 14-year-old girl from Chessington. Despite her tender age, Brenda possesses an extraordinary talent for connecting with the animals at the renowned Chessington Zoo. Her exceptional skills in training ponies have earned her great success and admiration among the zookeepers. Now, however, Brenda is facing a new challenge as she ventures into taming llamas Mary and George. These majestic creatures prove to be more formidable opponents than their pony counterparts. At first encounter, Mary effortlessly dislodges any rider who dares to mount her back. And when Brenda finally manages to secure herself on top of the llama's saddle, George defiantly refuses to move an inch. Undeterred by these setbacks, our determined young heroine perseveres in her quest to conquer these stubborn beasts. With each passing day spent working closely with Mary and George, Brenda gradually gains control over them through patience and gentle persuasion. This heartwarming image captures not only Brenda's unwavering determination but also showcases the unique bond she shares with these magnificent animals. It serves as a testament to the power of compassion and understanding between humans and creatures alike. Decades later, this photograph continues to evoke nostalgia for simpler times while reminding us of the timeless connection that exists between children like Brenda and their animal companions – a connection that transcends age or species boundaries.
