We love this little girl!  Temperance is a young rose gray female owned by Twilight Ridge Farm (who took the photo). She was born and currently boards at our farm. We’re looking forward to seeing her in the show ring come spring. We think she’ll do well!

We’re having a stretch of very hot and humid weather that’s a bit unusual for us.  Thank goodness! Neither Ron nor I like this weather. And the alpacas don’t like it much, either. We spend a lot of time trying to keep the alpacas cool in this weather.  Of course, … Read More
