I love that this is becoming mainstream thinking and information!!!

If you understand how horses learn, then you can use rewards and consequences to improve the way you train your horse when riding and on the ground

Unexpected Farm in Wales, ME is a 73 acre boarding and training facility located in beautiful central Maine. The property boasts a 15 stall round barn, six sheds for 24/7 outdoor board spots, a 90x200 laser-leveled indoor arena with dust-free natural and synthetic footing, a 100x200 outdoor arena with a full course of jumps, 1/2 mile exercise track, 60' round pen, 21 individual turnouts with dry lots in the front.

This unique farm community owned and operated by Chelsea Canedy who uses a mix of classical training along with positive reinforcement and natural horsemanship to create happy and healthy equine athletes. The training requirement ensures that boarders are always learning and are active around the farm. Some boarders have competition goals while others want to simply learn and connect with their horses.

Our dedicated farm staff works closely with owners to provide individualized care for each of the 21 horses at the farm. Send a PM if you're interested in joining the community!

Due to popular demand, Chelsea has opened her books for lessons the next couple of weeks! If you missed the openings last week, this is another opportunity to train with Chelsea. Whether you’re looking to trailer in for an in-person lesson or prefer a virtual session (phone and headphones are all that's needed), we've got you covered.

We'll be opening the books through December 6th, so if you're looking to hone a specific skill over time, there will be an opportunity to book a lesson each week for the next few weeks.

Chelsea’s calendar fills up fast, and she is thrilled to offer the chance to learn and grow with her expertise in dressage, jumping, and liberty work.

Cancellation policy: Cancellations made within 24 hours of the lesson will result in full payment.

I have two box stalls on an air ride rig heading south from my farm in Wales, Me going to Ocala, Fl on December 31. Incredibly reasonable price, awesome driver, and a wonderful layover location in Virginia. I personally caravan with the rig, so I am with the horses the whole way. PM if you need a ride for your horse!

My mission in this lifetime is to help horses by helping their people understand them and communicate clearly with them. But I’m only one person, on one farm, limited by the number of hours in each day that I can teach.

I’m so grateful that we live in an era where I can share information through the online platform, Patreon, which allows me to reach and help as many people as are interested in knowing more to do better for their horses, from anywhere in the world. Join me if that’s your mission.
