Tauranga: Positive reinforcement training with your horse
Advertisement
*14 & 28 June 2026*
Come and join us for two days of positive reinforcement / clicker training with your horse. Add to your training toolbox and improve your connection, harmony, and communication with your horse.
Clicker training produces horses that are confident, connected and motivated to learn and play with you. Whether it's riding, liberty, worming, hoof care, you name it - it's all just a fun game they're keen to be part of!
No fear, no force, just fun (and incredible, tangible results). Suitable for all sizes, ages and stages of horse and human.

Ever wondered what it’s about? Would you like to know more?
“Positive reinforcement produces horses that are confident, happy and motivated to learn and play with you. You will experience increased motivation, enjoyment and connection with your horse!”
You will learn through discussion, individual coaching with your horse, simulation games and exercises, and observing others with their horses. Clinics are small, safe, supportive, and inspiring.
Day 1 - Sunday 13th June:
Bex will teach you how to use food rewards correctly - as reinforcement to inspire behaviour change, not as a bribe, a crutch or a band-aid. Is your horse a cookie monster? Never fear! Learn how to explain the rules around food so they can relax and focus.
Introduction to positive reinforcement, horse psychology and how horses learn; preventing and resolving food anxiety; useful and safe foundations on the ground. Build connection and trust with your horse while establishing confidence and clarity for both of you.
After Day 1 we have a two week gap during which you can practice what you've learned, ask questions and discuss on a group Zoom call. Then we get together again two weeks later:
Day 2 - Sunday 28th June:
Advance the practical application of reward-based training on the ground and in the saddle. Content will be tailored to the humans and horses in attendance, so bring your requests and questions! We usually cover aspects of groundwork, liberty, riding, problem solving (e.g. bridling, hoof care, worming and needles).
**************************************
At Positively Together clinics you don't just learn "how to train" your horse - you learn about two-way communication with your horse, how to put yourself in your horses' hooves and really figure out how they learn best, and how to enhance the mutual joy and FUN in all your interactions. The focus at all times is on building a calm connection and relaxed focus.

These clinics are very practical and interactive and you will leave with the confidence to go home and incorporate what you've learned into your existing training programmes. Come and find out how to apply these methods yourself and reap the benefits for performance, problem-solving and your horse-human relationship.
Whether you're completely new to positive reinforcement or looking to enhance existing skills, this clinic is suitable for all ages and stages, horse sizes and levels of experience.
