Ownership of a
llama is not necessary. All members adopt a llama to groom and train in
showmanship, pack and obstacles.

We use the Llama Youth Manual prepared
by the Rocky Mountain Llama & Alpaca Assn. It is available form the
RMLAA, 303-273-9445 and cost $3 the last time we purchased them! It is
really informative.
