Icehouse Archangel
 Chocolate Caramel Explosion x FGL Chilean Ice Ice Baby
DOB 11-8-07

If I could clone this llama, I'd be a millionaire....everyone loves Mike.
Mike is exceeding all my expectations.  He is fabulous at performance and strolls off with high placings in halter.  The cute-ticity factor doesn't hurt, but even when that wears off, I am sure he'll have what it takes to turn heads.

 How cool it this - two Chocolate kids as juveniles showing at Nationals, in performance and halter?!!  I think it's great.



KookaRoo
 White Russian x LVRR Kaipana
DOB 1-05-07

Roo finished his novice apprenticeship at the March Magic show.  He was grand champion novice and overall high point llama!  He is learning by leaps and bounds.  He lacks a bit in concentration - but considering he hasn't been worked with that much, he is doing quite well.  That's the problem when they have talent, I forget they still have to be exposed to everything.
I handed him off to Caroline Gardner-Welk to show in the novice jackpot class at the show- and they won it!   
I'm thinking that shows he is ready to work for anyone.
Roo is now a gelding and won 2-reserve grands in halter at Grass Valley.
Roo got another reserve grand in nonBreeder halter at Del Mar.
Cousin Kaly showed Roo in the Open performance at AV Fair and got some decent placings.
  Roo won reserve grand nonbreeder at Harvest Fair, too!
Kobra's Ramona
Arg Kobra x RE RBWT
DOB: 5/18/05
Half Argentine/Half Chilean




Wow! How did I get so lucky buying a llama from a picture on the internet? (picture above right) Ramona has talent to burn. The first time I asked her to jump-she did. The first time I asked her step up on the bucket-she did. The first time we walked on a practice bridge-she did. I think the tough part with her will be to keep things interesting.
Ramona has already won her ALSA Performance Championship!
June 2007 Ramona did it at LANA Expo she won a grand and a reserve grand in performance.  Yippee!  She's going to Nationals.
October 2007 I am so truly amazed with this young female.  She placed at Nationals in all three performance classes.  She was 10th in Obstacle, 7th in Pack and 2nd in PR.  She is so easy to show and so willing to do it all!
February 2008 At her second show this year, she qualified for Nationals with a reserve grand at Indio Date Festival.  She just needs two more grands....
April 2008 Ramona racked up another grand in performance.  One more to go.
May 2008 Two more reserve grands in performance at Fallon.  When we got home she finally accepted the cart.  
June 2008 Del Mar marks Ramona's final grand needed for her ALSA Performance Championship.  She added to her laurels a reserve grand HWF.
August 2008 Hot August Nights Ramona gets another grand.
August 2008 AV Fair Ramona wins all three open classes for another grand.
October 2008 ALSA GN Ramona did well again - 2nd Pack, 10th Obstacle, 5th PR and 4th Obstacle Driving.  I didn't enter her in Pleasure Driving since she just isn't that kind  of girl,yet.

RMP Chill Out
DOB 1-10-1995
GLL Chile Pepper x RMP'S Blondie
2008 Grand National Reserve Driving Champion
2008 Senior Youth Performance Reserve Champion (w/Kaly)
2007 Grand National Performance Champion
2007 Grand National Driving Champion
2005 Grand National Performance Champion
2003 Grand National Reserve Performance Champion
Chill is 13 and still going strong.  He and I have come a long, long way.   He again proved his mettle winning 2007 National Driving and Performance Champions!  He already had the 2005 ALSA National Performance Champion and the 2003 Reserve Champion in the bag!
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. Now he seldom goes to a show without winning champion or reserve.
Chill is also my bad boy. He likes to remind me that he is his own man. He can humble me at any time. But he rarely does. When I most think he will, he doesn't (like at Nationals). I love this llama so very much.
Cousin Kaly and Chill now show a lot together.  I think he likes the challenge of training another human.
He and I work like a well oiled machine.  After working with the youngsters then showing Chill, he reminds me how smooth things go with a seasoned professional.  This llama is the greatest!


Kaly And Chill win Senior Youth Performance Champion, AV Fair 2008

More than just a pretty face.  Iceman likes to get out and work, too.
 
2006 Celebrity World Futurity
Iceman continues to grow more and more handsome every day.  Ice has been hit and miss in the performance classes.  He is not too keen on bridges, but does everything else brilliantly.  I'll continue to work with him, but he thinks his forte will be as a breeding male.
He is very upright, correct, and so very white!  He gets attention where ever he goes.  He was quite an eye catcher in the 2007 Tournament of Roses Parade with cousin Kaly.
2/2007  Iceman won Grand Champion at Indio to complete his ALSA Halter Championship!  On top of that he was chosen Supreme Champion that same day, too.
6/08 Silly me.  His two babies have arrived and they are to die for.... But now I'll have to wait another year before I can show in Get of Sire since Scarlett isn't due until December. Silly!


Chocolate Caramel Explosion
 Peruvian Patron B1078 x Peruvian Aborna R81
DOB 1-13-95

Chocolate's kids have made quite an impression in their first outings to shows (I knew they would).  Mike consistently places at the top of his halter class.  Peanut and Mike both are turning heads in the performance arena.  Throw Diva in the mix and the threesome are quickly earning points for their Pop in Get of Sire.  
There are three more kids due in December, too!
The kids won first place Get at Harvest Fair 2008.
