Description
***AHL El Capitan was in huge demand during the BAS 2025 National Show Stud Auction, for one service only the winning bid of £3,050 was donated to the BAS National Show. We have decided El Capitan will once again remain in-house only for the AHL family in 2025, if you are interested in his genetics we have offspring & pregnant females available at Acton Hill. Alternatively if you are based in the East of England his half brother double Supreme Champion AHL Jailbreaker is now owned by Hilly Ridge Alpacas or if you are based in the South West AHL Le Chevalier half brother of El Capitan & son of National Supreme Champion Constantine is now owned by Carpalla Alpacas.***
Service Fees: Acton Hill El Capitan is NOT available for outside stud services, he will remain in-house only for 2025.

El Capitan has a real presence in the paddock with a very impressive conformation & pleasing head type. He carries a bright extremely dense well organised fleece with no visible transition lines. He has retained a really good level of fineness and softness of hand.
In 2022 El Capitan joined our group of Elite breeding studs as a working male at Acton Hill and we spent the whole year looking forward to seeing his first progeny in the 2023 birthing season.
AHL El Capitan continues to have a huge impact on our breeding programme, he has achieved so much in such a short period of time. He has s grown from a standout cria to a macho & this coming spring before the 2025 mating season begins we will celebrate his fifth birthday.
We held very high expectations of El Capitan as a sire so we set him to work at 2yrs of age, his first 6 cria arrived last summer & they have well & truly delivered handsomely, in the 2024 show season they collected 15 First Places, 9 Second Places, 14 Colour Champion Sashes, 1x Reserve Supreme Champion Sash, 2x Best British Bred Huacaya Sashes, 2x Supreme Champion Sashes & 2x Sires Progeny Champion Sashes.
El Capitan's progeny have made a Supreme start to 2025, so far this show season they collected 9 First Places, 2 Second Places, 9 Colour Champion Sashes, 1x Best British Bred Huacaya Sash, 1x Supreme Champion Sash, 1x Judges Choice Sash & 1x Sires Progeny Champion Sash.
Not only has Capitan passed on his award winning fleece traits he has consistently produced cria carrying his outstanding phenotype including his impressive head style. It is no surprise when you look at his pedigree, he boasts EP Cambridge Trail Blazer as his sire but his dam is also spectacular in her own right. The outstanding dam of Capitan is Houghton Bettina II who continues to deliver exceptional offspring, Constantina her first daughter recently collected Judges Choice for her third fleece to add to her collection of sashes & Jailbreaker has just collected his second Supreme Champion Sash of this show season. Bettina is a standout female & she has most certainly passed on her look to El Capitan.
Capi was awarded an increase in covers last year, with 10 cria on the ground this year he has become our most selected male & with the consistency he has shown to advance his progeny we have doubled up his matings again this summer. El Capitan has been a very busy boy & we are looking forward to seeing the next steps in his journey.
