Alpaca Walking at Hensting Alpacas
Alpaca walking is a growing trend in the animal-assisted therapy world. Alpacas are gentle, friendly animals that make great companions for people of all ages. Unlike horses and donkeys, alpacas do not require extensive training or large amounts of space to be walked safely. They have an even temperament and are easy to handle while out on walks. The benefits of alpaca walking include improved physical health, mental health, social skills, self-confidence, and better overall wellbeing due to the calming presence of these animals. People who participate in alpaca walks often report feeling calmer after spending time with their companion animal(s). Alpacas also provide companionship during difficult times as well as joy when life seems overwhelming. Alpacas can be walked alone or in small groups depending on what works best for the individual or group involved; they can also be taken on short trips such as hikes through nature trails or nearby parks.
