About Chelsea

Chelsea has been immersed in helping horses and riders of a variety of disciplines for over 20
years. She owns and operates out of Diversity Horsemanship, near Stonewall, MB. She has
competed in everything from Hunter/Jumper to Western Horsemanship. She is currently most
passionate about giving horses and riders a dressage based program that uses evidence- based
conditioning principles, emphasizing development for a sound, more symmetrical, supple,
resilient, responsive horse. She loves competing in reining, and helping riders crush any goal, big
or small! She has successfully rehabbed horses to high level performance, and helped riders
move past many blockages.
Chelsea uses Corrective Exercise principles to design custom exercise programs for herself and
her students. She designed Custom Exercise for Riders to help riders move past common
physical restrictions that she noticed were causing riders to struggle and have difficulty
progressing. She found that riders who did this work off the horses gained better body
awareness and co-ordination, moved past a variety of common challenges in riding more
quickly, and were easier on the horses. The more symmetrical and supple the rider, the more
evenly the horse moves, and the less strain on the horse’s body. Not to mention the riders
gained more secure seats and could give more independent aids. These programs have proven
to be game changers, truly the missing pieces in these rider's exercise and riding puzzles!
In addition to being a CHA certified instructor since 2001, Chelsea is an Equine Canada
Licensed Coach, an NCCPT/ISSA Certified Personal Trainer, and a NASM Corrective Exercise
Specialist. She holds a BA in Psychology with Distinction, including Sport Psychology, and
Human Anatomy and Physiology and recently updated her education with an Equine Science
Certificate in 2021 from the University of Guelph with Distinction. Her subjects she was most
passionate about were Equine Exercise Physiology and Functional Anatomy (both Human and
Horse).
