This weekend our farm hosted a Camelidynamics Seminar with Dorothy Hunt.  We learned how to lead alpacas, complete herd health with less stress, set up fields and barns, and how to develop a relationship with our alpacas.  We learned Ttouch as a way to relieve stress and create a relationship with our alpacas. 

Here are some pictures of our weekend.





Here is the gang all raring to go.



CJ and Elvis.  Dorothy coaches Ruthie when she tries the Ttouch technique.





Ruthie takes Leonardo over a jump.  Jill takes Gaston through the maze.





Phil takes Slingshot through the maze.






Dorothy encourages the participants.  Dorys is walking Redford over the tarp.  Patty is walking Wildfire in the trailer.  Gina and Merit wait their turn.



Leonardo practices his jumping skills.  Jill walks Gaston through the maze while Phil leads Slingshot to the next station. 



Vickie takes Elvis over the tarp.  Sara and Leonardo are next.



Dorys lead Ophlia while Mary and Wildfire, Gina and Slingshot, and Sara and Elvis walk the maze.

We had a great weekend!  Dorothy provided us with many new tricks to try out.  The group was great about encouraging one another and switching animals so everyone got to work with different alpacas.

Jill, Phil, Vickie, Dorys, CJ, Sara, Mary, Ruthie, and Gina you were awesome and I had a great time with you!
