⭑Presenter Bio Chelsea Canedy⭑

Owner of Unexpected Farm in Wales, Maine, Chelsea is an upper-level event rider known for combining traditional horsemanship with proven training methods from the behavioral sciences. Through these integrative practices, Chelsea helps riders to understand their horse, overcome their fears, and reconnect with their goals. Working with riders and horses ranging from novice to professional, Chelsea approaches athletic training for both with empathy, patience and understanding; she deepens the horse-rider connection through more precise communication, positive reinforcement, and her “as little as possible, as much as necessary” philosophy.

For many years, Chelsea worked in social service; and today she continues a regular meditation practice that she started over a decade ago. This first-hand experience in practical psychology and self-reflection underline Chelsea’s ability to build the relationships with horse and rider needed to consistently improve performance. Chelsea is a premier trainer for those dedicated to their goals, willing to navigate their personal obstacles, and discover their own mastery in the ring and beyond.

Because Of The Horse...

I am constantly driven to learn more and do better. Because of the horse, I am humbled in my quest for knowledge and in my goal to impart it to others on their behalf.
