Congratulations and thank you to Dr. Kitt Hollister, of Howling Hill Farm, for her purchase of NeverSummer's Chenequa! Chenequa is an exceptionally beautiful female whose very first cria, "NeverSummer's Chautauqua," was the high-selling alpaca at the 2011 Futurity auction!! She was also the 2011 Nationals Grey Color Champion and the 2010 Futurity Grey Color Champion in halter and the 2010 AOBA Nationals Fleece Show Color Champion! Chenequa herself is an interesting "medium brown with black points vicuna." Her dam is a "wanna be" grey - a roaning chestnut brown vicuna with a tuxedo, sired by Lanark's Silver Charm. Chenequa's well known sire is Aladdin of KPR (BB) who also sired "Supreme Champion," NeverSummer's Black Ice (TB). Chenequa has the most luxurious fleece. I especially love Chenequa's super soft handle which she is passing on to her offspring. Award Winning Progeny: In 2009, Chenequa had NEVERSUMMER'S CHAUTAUQUA, a gorgeous MRG female out of Aussie .38 Special. Chautauqua is a 7x Color Champion and also won a Reserve Champion banner at the ABR Fall Festival in 2010. In 2010, Chenequa gave birth to NEVERSUMMER'S AMERICAN IRON, a LRG male born sired by Aussie .38 Special. American Iron is a 6x Champion and also won the Spinner's Dream award at IAO 2013. In 2011, Chenequa had NEVERSUMMER'S TULARE, a stunning BB female also sired by Aussie .38 Special. Tulare won 1st Place at IAO 2013 and brought home a 2nd Place ribbon at the TXOLAN Alpaca Spectacular in 2012. in 2012, Chenequa gave birth to NEVERSUMMER'S WINONA, a MB Aussie .38 Special daughterI Winona received 5 ribbons while on our 2013 & 2014 show strings, including a 2nd Place ribbon at IAO 2013. Chenequa was re-bred to Aussie .38 Special and ESTATES 38 CAROL, a pretty MB female, was born on 6/25/2013. In 2014, Chenequa had ESTATES CHRONOS, a handsome medium brown male sired by Chief Grey Feather, one of our fine herdsires. Chenequa's good-looking MSG male, sired by our multi-generational silver NS Magic Flight, was born on 8/7/2015.

This handsome young male has developed into quite a beautiful boy just like his sire, Amber Autumn Ameretto, who has sired many blue-ribbon Futurity & National show winners.

He placed 2nd at the TXOLAN Bluebonnet Stakes - Ken Hibbit’s comments were: “A really competitive class of black males. These two top fleeces were just really exceptional. This male is a really, really strong, beautiful male. Sizing nicely. Good capacity up front. Really balanced through his type, so I really thought these two set themselves apart as a pair up here at the top of the class. Both presenting bright, excellent, well-defined crimp and character. Linking those traits together on solid frames." Royal Knight also received Blue Ribbons from the 2024 CABA Classic & AWE shows.
