    WHO? Next Gen trainers are dedicated and passionate and like to have fun. They want to become better animal trainers, growing their skills to communicate clearly and positively motivate their horses. Next Gen trainers want the horses to enjoy their interactions as much as they do.

    BRING? Something to share for morning tea and any other snacks you'd like. We are providing meals.  Please come prepared with togs/towel, boots, sunblock, bedding, warm clothing, rain coat etc.  

    THE PROGRAM:  NextGen is a unique opportunity for selected teens to spend quality time with the human and equine Positively Together team, and to grow their tribe, connecting with like-minded friends. The emphasis is on kindness, empathy and respect for our animals and for each other. We have a range of activities that focus on how to set the horses up for success so they are happy and cooperative, without the use of traditional training tools such as escalating pressure and punishment. Meanwhile, the teen trainers learn important keys to building positive relationships and trust with others (whether 4-legged or two!). Throughout these sessions we keep a strong focus on those important life skills that run in close parallel to our horsemanship - consent, compassion, trust, kindness to self and others, developing resilience and self-confidence, etc.
