CASPA the Llama has leaped into the record books for his high jump at a dogs show in Cheshire.
A new Guinness World Record for high jumping by a llama was set at DogFest at Arley Hall on Sunday.
With an adjudicator on hand to officiate the event, crowds cheered on Caspa as he achieved a record of 1.13 metres.
Caspa’s owner, Sue Williams said: “We are so proud of Caspa and are delighted that he has set a new Guinness World Record at DogFest.
"We’ve had such fun at Arley Hall. Caspa is a real show off so it has been the perfect place for him to achieve this record and perform in front of such a big crowd”.
Congrats to Caspa the Llama who set a new world record at the weekend for "Showjumping Llama"...

Living at the Canine Centre in North Wales, Caspa and his team, Black Rock Llamas, have spent hours watching the dogs doing agility.
It soon became obvious to owners Derek and Sue Williams that they wanted to join in the fun.
Never thought I would be compering an event where a Llama broke a Guinness world record. 😄 pic.twitter.com/NnCRm6BeBY

Black Rock Llamas soon became the first and only llama agility display team in the UK.
The next stop for DogFest is at Loseley Park, Surrey, where the event will take place next Sunday, June 21.
