"Don't know where to start to thank you for such a fantastic day. I am just going over everything we did in my mind & reading the notes - it was just so good. Interacting with the animals and like minded people builds my confidence. As well as learning a whole new way to interact - the hints & tips also picked up are invaluable. Again thankyou so much - for sharing your skills, knowledgef & passion." Sheila.

Just wanted to thank you for a very educating and entertaining day on Saturday. Hopefully you will organise more of them as there is so much to learn about the handling of these wonderful animals. Please keep me updated on future ones. Sharryn.

Well, what a wonderful day we had with you and Cheryl!! Thank you both so much. We have been practising and taking things very slowly with our girls and are so pleased we were able to do the course with you. It was just what we needed to start our alpaca adventure! Thank you for sharing your knowledge to help make the alpaca experience so much more enjoyable for both the alpacas and humans. Cath & Joe

Wow! what a day, thankyou so much. We feel so lucky to be able to experience all the wonderful and rewarding ways of raising alpacas. Your insight and ability to teach your skills gives us a real opportunity to manage our herd before we fall into some unhelpful habits. Paula & Rob
