Hannah Fletcher, 7, travelled from Goulbourn with her family to enter her “baby” in the show held at Sydney Olympic Park.
“Alpacas are the best animals - they’re cuddly, they come to you when you call them, they are colourful and quiet,” Hannah said.
Sometimes Hannah’s mum even lets her take her red Alpaca to school.
Hannah entered Alpaca, Strawberry Shortcake Fletcher, in the competitions which are judged on fleece, walking, colour and how they stand.
“We never get nervous,” Hannah said. “We are connected. She is my baby.”
Hannah and Strawberry Shortcake have had plenty of wins at shows.
They belong to the Australian Alpaca Association and Hannah has been competing with Strawberry Shortcake since they were both babies. Hannah was only four and Strawberry Shortcake was just a few months old when they entered their first contest.
Hannah thinks that everyone needs an Alpaca in their life. “They are calm and love cuddles,” she said.
