Chill decided he was retired at age 15.  He and I have come a long, long way.   Chill is 2003 National Performance Reserve Champion, 2005 National Performance Champion, 2007 National Driving & Performance Champion and 2008 National Driving Reserve Champion.  He also worked with Cousin Kaly to win National Reserve Champion Senior Youth 2008. Chill is one of the two original llamas I started out with. I knew from the beginning that he was extremely talented and capable. Luckily, he was patient enough to teach me a lot about llamas. Chill didn't win his first performance championship until he was 6 years old.  From then on he seldom went to a show without winning champion or reserve. He taught me more than just how to train llamas.  Because of him I know I cannot take all the credit for doing well in the show ring- the llama has the last word, always.  I try to be humble lest my llama humble me. A well trained llama is part of a team.  One has to prove oneself worthy of their trust or you'll get nothing in return.  Respect and responsibilty. He also taught me to listen to my llama.  They really do communicate with you.  One just has to be open to listening (and hearing).  I love Chill Out so very much- I miss showing him but he is enjoying his retirement. He and I worked like a well oiled machine.  Spending time with the youngsters then showing Chill, always reminded me how smooth things go with a seasoned professional.  This llama is the greatest!

Scarlett was an exceptional Mom. I purchased her from the Taylor's in Montana. She gave me four outstanding daughters-Daredevil Dixie (Arg. Saltarin), Nahani (White Russian), Daredevil Diva (Chocolate Caramel Explosion) and Icehouse Brrrtie (RE Iceman). Scarlett had quite strong genes.  4 brown girls from 4 different sires.  She lives on in through her daughters. 2-8-09 Tail-less Scarlett still looking good.  Long ago a dog attack in Montana took her tail, but not her spirit!
