Equine Insights (1:1)

1 hr··$48.75

25% OFF Individual Equine Assisted Learning Session

This is a one on one experience where the horse is your guide. In order to fulfill a life of purpose and passion, you must first discover your true self and what may be holding you back. Once you uncover this, you will begin brimming with self-confidence, self-awareness, and an ability to conquer whatever goals and aspirations your heart desires.

Our facilitators will introduce you to our herd and walk you through an informative safety demo. You will then choose a horse to work with and start building a relationship with them where you will groom, learn what their body language means, and walk them through a series of obstacles designed to promote boundary setting, problem solving, and self-reflection.

Allow the powerful and gentle heart of the horse help you reach your true self.

Happy Herd (Family Up to 5 people)

1 hr 30 mins··$150

25% OFF A family Affair

Families that play together, stay together. Arrive at the farm and enjoy a tour where you will meet the herd. Our facilitators will then walk your crew through an interactive safety demo and help your family choose a horse to work with. Once you’re paired with a horse, your family will begin your experience by grooming and learning about the horse’s body language, followed by an incredibly fun, fully engaging set of obstacles where your family will re-connect, and share new core memories.

When we’re done horsing around, we invite you to enjoy a real family picnic by the fire or under the shade trees where you can delight in the peaceful atmosphere of country life with the people you love most.

This is followed by a light guided meditation to promote rejuvenation of spirit.

At the end of our horsing around, you’re invited to sit back by the fire and celebrate yourself and your accomplishments with your charcuterie box and a refreshment, while admiring the beautiful Oxford County sunset.

25% OFF A Reiki Experience

Experience the calming energy of a Reiki session, designed to balance your mind, body, and spirit. Whether in the peaceful company of our gentle horses or in a serene indoor setting, this session offers a unique opportunity to relax and rejuvenate.

With Reiki, the practitioner channels healing energy through light, intentional touch or by working within your energy field, promoting harmony and a sense of well-being. In sessions with horses, these intuitive animals naturally enhance the energy flow, amplifying the connection and deepening your healing journey.

Whether you’re seeking stress relief, emotional clarity, or a grounding experience, our Reiki sessions offer a nurturing space to reconnect with yourself and embrace tranquility. Let the gentle presence of Reiki—and perhaps a horse—guide you toward peace and balance.

We did the Ponies and Pottery. It was so much fun. Love the combination. Fun time hanging with the horses and the ponies, who are all rescues. Kudos for all the wonderful things you do for these horses and the people who come to Transistions.

It is such a welcoming place to be. Working with the horses help to relax you. I tried the EAL. I enjoyed working from the ground level with the horses. Next I am going to try the Reiki and sound healing. Alisha and her daughter Lindsey are very pleasant to work with. They make you feel welcome and at ease. And I love how they open their farm up to host personal learning events. Great job guys!

It was lovely to meet Alisha and the herd.
What a mellow environment!
Alisha clearly care deeply about her horses. Lots of TLC in the air:)
And it was a treat to brush a few horses and get an idea of their personalities.
Who would have thought they’re so different; just like people.

I showed up randomly last Monday at Transitions in desperate need of grounding and direction. Alisha was absolutely wonderful to say the least. She spent time listening and acknowledging in such a kind and validating way. I knew I wanted to try Equine Assisted Learning as a therapeutic grounding. Alisha took me out to meet Thunder and casually handed me a horse brush and I could feel the stress releasing its grip as Alisha quietly let me connect with Thunder and talking with me. I left feeling SO MUCH better after going only with expectations of recieving information on their programs.
I did my first Equine Insights today with Alisha and Thunder and am excited to go back again to continue building on that.

My sister and I spent a wonderful 2 hours with Alicia and Lindsay yesterday. We groomed, played, and hugged, dare I say kissed, 2 beautiful horses. It was such a heartwarming experience. We also relaxed cow girl kickback style with a tasty charcuterie and thirst-quenching drink (non alcohol) on the comfy chairs by the medicine wheel, as the sun slowly set. Thank you for a wonderful perfect evening .

I must say from the drive to walking the grounds I immediately felt the stress melt away. Alisha and her team were so accommodating and shared in all the services they provide. The people who accompanied were excited to get started with working alongside and riding the beautiful majestic horses and other friendly critters. We all enjoyed breathing in the essential oils we purchased at a very reasonable cost, on our way back. I must also note that we appreciated the accessible washroom. Thank you so much Alisha for your time. We can't wait to come back!
