BAL A WHIST-O-KAT, Katrina & Gary Capasso

On November 5, 2005 The Woolly Llama Whisperers 4-H Club learned to use the "John Mallon Training Techniques" on a new and very high strung/skittish llama who boards at the farm.  The llama, named "Spitfire" (guess how he got his name!!!) presented quite a challenge.

Leader, Katrina Capasso, explained the differences between a prey animal and a predator, and how a llama actually thinks.  Katrina got in the round pen with "Spitfire" and did some of the actual techniques used to desensitize a llama.  Then the kids were invited in the round pen to practice themselves.  It was a wonderful learning experience for both the llama, "Spitfire," and for the 4-H members and parents!

Hannah, our newest 4-H member, recently received an awesome present from her parents, Teri and John.  His name is Martini and he is sure to win her many ribbons at the fair!  Congratulations Hannah, and welcome to the club!
