TWO VERY SPECIAL “NEW BOYS” JOIN SLINDON COLLEGE
11 Feb 2015
Slindon was delighted recently to welcome two rather special entrants – Cuthbert and
Rupert, the Alpaca brothers.
Cuthbert and Rupert are now well established in their own paddock next to their new neighbours,
Norman and Loopy the College’s donkeys.
Mrs Sargeant, Head of Land Based Studies said “This is a delightful edition to our animal kingdom
and we are looking forward to training the Alpacas to the lead so the pupils can take them for
walks around our extensive grounds. They are sociable and intelligent animals and should thrive
in the environment we are providing. We have built them a very sturdy weatherproof shelter
within their paddock and so far they have settled in extremely well.”
