Camelidynamics Practitioner

Alicia has entered the Camelidynamics Practitioner program allowing her to pass on the knowledge of working with alpacas and llamas the Camelidynamics way in a kind, trusting, fun, respectful, interesting and understanding way. If you're new to alpacas it can be daunting - knowing how to approach and handle your alpacas in a respectful and kind manner can be so rewarding for you and your alpacas! If you are an "old hand" at alpacas - do you still corner them to grab them? is it still a fight/struggle to do your husbandry chores? It doesn't have to be - and Alicia can show you how. Contact her for some lessons - small groups also catered for.


 
Camelidynamics - USA

In September 2010 and June 2011 Alicia attended the Advanced Camelidynamics courses in the United States with Marty McGee Bennett. It was a fantastic experience and we are happy to report that Alicia passed with flying colours and now holds the Camelidynamics Handler Seal and is also a Camelidynamics Practitioner - which means our animals are managed and trained in a kind, respectful and understanding manner. If you would like to know more just send us an email!


Shearing Sept 2010

Shearing is over again for another year and we would like to give a very big THANK YOU to our helpers - including Charlotte - pictured shearing her first alpaca - we start 'em young around here!

Thankyou to our alpaca friends Anne & Gordon, Jill & Ken and Joy & Allan - your help was greatly appreciated and made the day run smoothly.


Mr Darcy does it again

At 7yrs of age Mr Darcy has proven he's still got it! Shown at the 2010 Charles Ledger show in the mature male class he was awarded a blue ribbon and then to top that he was awarded Champion Mature Male - not bad for a 7year old!

His progeny also stood up to the competition: Reserve Champ. Junior Male (22 in class), 1st in dark fawn Jnr Male and Champion Adult Female to name a few.

 
Shows - 2010

Show season began late for us with other commitments intervening. Sydney Royal was our first for the year and we were very pleased with our results:
Enctandar Ring Master: 1st in Fleece, 3rd in Medium Fawn Adult Male & 2nd in Class for Hawkesbury Show with a 1st in fleece
Regal House Sir Leopold: 3rd in Jnr White Male (out of a class of 16) & 3rd in Intermediate Male at Hawkesbury
Regal House Oprah: 3rd in class for Fleece

 
Steward Courses

Alicia has been extremely busy in 2009, 2010 and now 2011 running steward courses around the countryside on behalf of the AAA Ltd. She is in high demand in all states with all regions having very eager participants - so there should be a lot more qualified stewards and convenors out there now.

Summer Breeding
To minimize the stress for our alpacas (and ourselves!) we do not mate or have births throughout the hot summer months where our temperatures can easily reach 40°C and above. As alpacas do not have a "season" as such and they can be mated at any time of the year, this is a husbandry decision for Regal House Alpacas to ensure we have strong healthy crias with minimal impact on their dams.
