𝘼𝙨 𝙬𝙚 𝙜𝙚𝙩 𝙘𝙡𝙤𝙨𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙤 𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙘𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙘 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙏𝙞𝙠 𝙈𝙖𝙮𝙣𝙖𝙧𝙙, I have been reminiscing about the last two years at Road to the Horse. Watching Tik compete in 2024 was something I won’t forget.

There was a moment — raw, real, and completely unscripted — that showed what true horsemanship looks like when things don’t go according to plan.

Instead of reacting by trying to control or out of frustration, Tik chose connection. 𝙃𝙚 𝙢𝙚𝙩 𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙝𝙤𝙧𝙨𝙚 𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙨, 𝙧𝙚𝙗𝙪𝙞𝙡𝙩 𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙨𝙩, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙣𝙚𝙙 𝙖 𝙩𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝 𝙢𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙤 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙗𝙚𝙖𝙪𝙩𝙞𝙛𝙪𝙡l. It reminded me why presence matters more than perfection in our work with horses.

I wrote about that moment, and what it taught me, in one of my blog posts, Making History: https://www.chelseacanedy.com/post/making-history

And even better — 𝙏𝙞𝙠 𝙞𝙨 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤 𝙐𝙣𝙚𝙭𝙥𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙁𝙖𝙧𝙢 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙚𝙖𝙘𝙝 𝙞𝙣 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙖 𝙛𝙚𝙬 𝙬𝙚𝙚𝙠𝙨, 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙉𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙢𝙗𝙚𝙧 21-23! Don’t miss the chance to learn from his thoughtful, trust-first approach in person.

We only have a few lesson slots open each day, so snag yours before it’s gone.

It's officially here... BOOK DROP DAY!!!

I can't believe it's finally come! No more pre-orders. Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million, and many other online book sellers will ship on right to you, no waiting required.

It's hard to wrap my head around, and I am beyond flattered by the kind words of the people quoted here.... people I admire as human beings and horse lovers.

My hope is that if you read my book, it will inspire you and help you move towards your own life's purpose. I would also be thrilled to hear from you about it!

Today, the Unexpected Farm family said goodbye to one of our best boys, Kenny...aka Kenneth, on his spicy days.

His owner, Debora Fish Ouellette, made the agonizing decision to say goodbye on a good day, rather than waiting until a catastrophic moment in the middle of winter, which was highly likely considering Kenny's rapidly deteriorating hind end soundness. I know what a hard decision that was, and I respect her so much for taking herself out of the equation, and filling these last few weeks of Kenny's life with so much love, and treats, and moments of connection, right up until the last moment.

Kenny left this existence with people who loved him by his side, and his body is being lovingly cared for by Michelle of Compassionate Composting. We are so fortunate to have a service like this available to us in Maine. It's incredibly unique and such a gift to horse owners.

Kenny and his ninja moves will be missed by so many people... may your next adventure be filled with as much love and joy as this one was, Sir Kenneth. ❤️
