A yearling taking a break
We couldn't run the program without the Clinician Assistants (known as 'CA's.) They supervise participants in the pens and allow ten pens of action to take place with only a half dozen clinicians to oversee everything.

The CAs are the more advanced participants who have proven their skills at other workshops and want more responsibility.

Arena Staff

There is a whole lot involved in keeping things synchronized on the arena floor. Animals have to be brought up for training and sent to the correct pens. With ten or more wild animals being brought up to the arena for each gentling session (about two hours each) there is a constant flow of animals being sorted and routed. Records have to be kept. Clinicians need their animals in a certain order. These people kept things moving and they also assisted in teaching.
