The alpacas supporting Fox Trail Winter Running Series

How the alpacas keep cool in summer

What do the alpacas like to do when it’s hot out? Take a long cold shower of course!

Glasshouse Wedding!

We were asked by bride to be Juliette, if the alpacas would make a special appearance at the Glasshouse in Edinburgh, to surprise her wedding guests. This would involve them going up in a lift to the lawned deck on the roof of the Playhouse! We weren’t too sure if the alpacas would refuse to […]
