ATTEND/AUDIT

Join us for two days of toolbox building! Chelsea Canedy is an upper level event rider specializing in connecting equine athletes and their partners through her extensive knowledge of horse and rider behavior. Through integrative practices, Chelsea works with riders to understand their horse, overcome their fears and reconnect with their goals. Chelsea's philosophy, "reward the try and celebrate even 1% better", compliments her eye for identifying a horse's true potential and skill in teaching her students the importance of empathy, understanding and patience (no matter how difficult the ride may be).

Private lessons with riders from green to Grand Prix will tackle a myriad of common training challenges, including groundwork and mounting block issues, spooking, and keeping our horses attentive and responsive to the rider in imperfect moments. Chelsea will use positive reinforcement training and groundwork techniques to accompany correct riding, and teach us all new tools to add to our pursuit of competitive horse sport.

Chelsea brings a unique approach to training the equine and human athlete through a foundational understanding of horse and rider psychology and performance.

For the Horse:
As an upper level event rider with a vast knowledge of horse behavior and natural horsemanship, Chelsea is able to identify and develop the potential in a horse with empathy, patience, and understanding. Her philosophy with every ride is "reward the try and celebrate even 1% better".

For the Rider:
Meditation and mental performance have been pillars of Chelsea's career with horses and previously, as a social worker. This allows her to connect with riders who struggle with nerves, fear, staying present, or those who are just looking to reconnect with their goals.

Chelsea has appeared in a number of publications, podcasts, and has been filmed for a number of instructional courses, including Equestrian Masterclass with Noelle Floyd, Dressage Today OnDemand, and The Horseman's University. She is featured presenter at the International Liberty Horse Association Festival in Lexington, KY and a clinician at Equine Affaire in Springfield, MA.

Auditing is $35/day on Strider and includes lunch, or $40/day at the door and doesn't.
