2 Stall fees: This facility does not at this time have panels/pens. Many llama people have their own panels. So those that bring panels for their llamas and/or extra panels will not be charged a stalling fee for the weekend (yes your stalls would be FREE). However, again we need to know how many stalls you need and how many panels you are bringing so we can be sure to make provisions for those people that need to purchase stalls. Purchased stalls will be $25 for the weekend. Again, there will be NO STALLING CHARGE for those that bring their OWN PANELS. There will be space inside a barn and also outside of the barn (with an overhang). If you would rather be outside (limited to 20 stalls) make that notation on your entry form. People will need to bring and clean up their own bedding in all stalls (no paper, please). Our stalling coordinator is Kelly McWhorter. Please contact her ( or ogert@comcast.net <mailto:ogert@comcast.net>) if you have any questions or concerns. If you have extra panels you can bring, please do to help out. Plan to arrive after 3pm on Friday.

ILR or CLRC Registration: All llamas must have copies of ILR certificates included with Registration packets with the exception of llamas used for Youth classes or veterinarian certified Non-Breeders (bring Vet certificate). Awards: Ribbons will be awarded for first through sixth place in every class and to Grand and Reserve Grand Champion in each division, including the fleece show.

PERFORMANCE CLASSES Obstacle, Public Relations and Pack Classes: The purpose of these classes is to demonstrate the well-trained animal s obedience and willingness to complete the activities requested by the handler. Youth will be allowed to enter Open classes. However, the same animal will NOT be allowed to show in both a Youth Class and an Open class. Llamas are to be entered in the division for which they are eligible at the time of the show. Halter class rules also apply. Classes are open to any llama five months of age or over, except if otherwise specified in the class requirements. A llama may be entered in only one division of the respective class. It is the exhibitors responsibility to enter the correct division. Alpacas may be entered and compete in the performance and Showmanship classes with the llamas. Llamas must make an attempt at each obstacle, otherwise it will be counted as off course. In adult classes, llamas must make only one attempt at each obstacle. If obstacle is not completed, they will be judged accordingly and then go on to the next obstacle. A llama or handler going off-course cannot place over an animal that completed the course. Coaching from the sidelines by spectators is discouraged and may compromise the exhibitor s scoring. After refusals at three obstacles, it will then be mandatory for the Judge to dismiss the exhibitor from the course. This procedure is not to be used in Youth classes without prior agreement of show management and explanation to the exhibitors.

6 In obstacle classes, it is at the Judge s discretion whether the handler must negotiate the obstacles. Only voice and hand commands may be used in exhibiting animals. No written notes may be used in performance classes. Exhibitors may request the Judge provide a review of their individual score cards. Scorecards may not be reviewed without the permission of the Judge. All score sheets should remain the property of the Judge and only interpreted by the Judge with exhibitors on an individual basis. Showmanship Classes: A Showmanship class is a demonstration of the handler s ability to show his/her animal to its best advantage at halter. Judging is based on the exhibitor s basic skills in fitting, grooming, following directions, and style of presenting the animal to the Judge for evaluation. The animal s conformation is not to be considered. Handler s attire should be neat, clean, and appropriate for the class. YOUTH CLASSES: Age Categories (youth s age is based on their age on January 1 st, 2010): Junior: 7 years through 11 years Intermediate: 12 years through 15 years Senior: 16 years thru 18 years All youth ages 7 through 18, as of January 1 of the calendar year, may show in the following classes.
