Chelsea Canedy stands apart as a competitive rider who combines traditional training with natural horsemanship principles, groundwork, liberty work, and R+ training, and has a reputation as someone who understands how horses think and learn. For many years, Canedy worked in social service, and today she continues a regular meditation practice that she started over a decade ago. This firsthand experience in practical psychology and self-reflection underlines her ability to build the relationships with horse and rider needed to consistently improve performance. Canedy has several Equestrian Masterclasses with Noelle Floyd, and she is a popular podcast guest, clinician, and presenter, appearing at festivals and expos around the country. Canedy and her family are currently based in Wales, Maine, on a beautiful historic property called Unexpected Farm, and she spends winters in Ocala, Florida (chelseacanedy.com).
