Keeping cool is a priority today for people & animals. 

Alpacas need plenty of shade & access to clean fresh drinking water at all times.

Additional water sources in the form of splash mats (pictured), paddling pools, hoses & sprinklers are always very welcome 🤗 
Remember - do not wet their backs - this traps heat 😱- only the underneath bits - belly, armpits, groin areas - where they can lose heat naturally. Stay cool 😎 Enjoy!

The alpacas are being very sensible & choosing shade over sunshine this Bank Holiday weekend.

Correctly fitted head collars supports safe, calm, effective handling. This also builds trust and allows for relaxed learning and interaction.

Shelter is essential. 

Alpacas must be able to shelter from rain, wind, snow and direct sunshine. 

Every field and every group should have access to a light and airy, well-designed shelter large enough for all animals to use together. 

Natural shelter such as trees and hedges can provide additional protection but should complement - not replace - appropriate field shelters.
