Trainer - Nic Kentish
Nic Kentish's passion for livestock has been his driving force, from jackerooing days on NSW, Qld, and WA stations to overseeing a cattle development project in Vanuatu to head-stockman aboard livestock ships delivering sheep, cattle, and goats to Middle Eastern ports. Now settled on a farm in the Adelaide Hills near Hahndorf with his wife Alexi and three children, Nic runs a farm management consultancy and provides agricultural coaching within his community.

Combining his passions for livestock and people, Nic trains low-stress stock handling schools with zest, humour, and feeling. He endeavours to see animals and humans together realize their true potential. Since animals are simply good at being animals, Nic takes up the human challenge to share what's possible if people can change.
