Ridgewave

 

                          

  

Born- May 26, 1999

Sire- Mr. Hobgobblin (black)                        Dam- Tootsie 2 (black with white markings)

Registration- CLAA # 19042

Show Ring Results- in 6 shows- received 6 ribbons 1-6  Mostly 1st & 2nd placings.

Ridgewave has a great dense coat with moderately bold crimp plus lots of brightness.  Yarn from his fibre is so lustrous & what a soft handle!  The mill had difficulty spinning it due to it's slipperiness!

He is always picked out by visitors for his 'regal' stance in the paddock.

People enjoy leading him & he has been a hit with all.  School groups have come & his temperament is ideal for an introduction to alpacas.

Ridgewave has sired 8 progeny- 4 females & 4 males.  Six are dark brown or bay black from dams who were a light fawn.  A black little gal arrived during the summer of 2006 - from a black dam.

Grey Knickers arrived on June 10/06!  What a wee thing!  9 1/2#s!  Doing just fine - can see him on his own page.  And a black little gal arrived for a friend.  'Blackwave' has a white nose & white 'lightning bolt' on her forehead - what a cutie!  Her fibre glistens & she is so easy to pick out in the paddocks.
