Ed was successful in the ALSA show ring and was a PLTA Master Pack Llama. He was an exceptional packer who easily handled the rigors of the trailless outback. Ed completed numerous backcountry treks. He regularly served in the tail position on an eight-llama string; a position that requires expert 'trail sense' in our rugged country.

In the show ring Ed achieved his ALSA Halter Championship and ROM title quickly and was also successful in the performance rings earning his Recognition of Merit (ROMs) in obstacle, public relations and pack. He has been awarded overall performance champion at one show and reserve performance champion at three.

Ed's size, willingness to please, desire to work, and athletic ability have been passed on consistently to his offspring, many of whom also are pack llamas and perform well in the show ring.
