Basic Skills Inventory

out from in between the slats of a trailer

Ewok and Dakota, two suri geldings, from BlackWater Treasures, in Odessa, MO, USA, ride comfortably during transport in a trailer.

To increase the versatility of an alpaca and the odds he will do well in a new home, you should train all your geldings to:
  • Allow themselves to be caught
  • Walk on a lead
  • Load on a trailer
  • Allow their toe nails to be trimed
  • Be controllable when getting shots
  • Be controllable when getting wormed
  • Be controllable when getting a vet exam
