A funny and great experience myself modelling with a beautiful horse, Muffin .
This reminds of my Russian father , a big fan of horses and he had a farm.
Great atmosphere , a peaceful view of sunset .
Sunsets are proof that every day has something to celebrate. Sunset is my favourite color , and rainbow is second.
There’s nothing like a beautiful sunset to end a healthy day .
The owner, Alisha was very friendly and a pleasant lady .
I’m looking forward to doing it again.
Thank you so much for our awesome evening with you,Alisha , Muffin and a very talented photographer.
I attended the Ponies and Pottery event tonight and all I can say is WOW! What a fantastic experience. Alisha and Holly Jo were extremely welcoming and created a supportive environment for someone who had little to no experience with horses or pottery! I had a wonderful time creating three pieces of pottery and getting to know the horses. Thank you so much for an amazing experience! I can’t wait to see how my pieces of pottery turn out after they are glazed!
I attended Alisha’s “Womens wellness retreat” co-facilitated with Bonnie Taylor and was so impressed that I wanted to write a review.
I was kindly greeted by Alisha upon arriving. When I walked into the place where we were having our workshop, I saw smiles all around the room, a bountiful breakfast ready for us Ladies to start our special day off right, a beautiful Tuck Shop(Gift shop) full of gems, and stunning Horse Art all over the walls. I knew immediately this was meant to be!! On the tables, we all had our own personal Journal purchased for us to write in throughout the day, and to take home and continue with. I loved that!
After introducing ourselves to each other, we were off to go see the main focus we all came to spend space with…The Herd! What a beautiful Herd Alisha has gathered together! To keep this review from becoming a novel, here are my favorite parts of the retreat!!!
♡The Ladies(making new connections and feeling supported)
♡The Horses(Very loving)
♡The EAL activities planned for us with the horses(empowering, self confidence building)
♡The Food Catered in(OMG amazing, we were very spoiled)
♡The Reiki healing provided by Alisha with Smudging ceremony
♡Bonnie Taylor’s Presentation on Wellness
♡Creative Expression Horseshoe craft to take home(love souvenirs)
♡Sitting in the grass on lunch break with the horses near by meditating.(grounding, calming)Those are my highlights of the day. It was an incredible experience that I grew from. I am already returning for the Equine Portrait session next month, and will be coming out for many other events hosted. The energy that lives there is pure light, safe, grounding and loving. 10/10 experience. I highly recommend this place :)
Alisha Wilson is passionate about her horses and helping people, and it shows. Her facilities are just perfect for all the services she offers. I attended a recent event and was really impressed.
What an amazing experience. I really appericated the patience and understanding that was shown towards .t client with special needs. Definitely will be going ba k with of members of our community.
There is so much more going on here than meets the eye. My daughter (age 9) just completed the Youth Leadership Workshop and each day on the car ride home she was beaming about the life lessons she had learned that day. Communication, displaying patience, having a positive attitude, friendship, teamwork all while having fun was how she described her day – each one a little different. As a parent – who could ask for more. If i could rate this higher than 5 stars I would. Great job!!!
I recently had a networking experience with Transitions Equine Assisted Learning.
First of all, ai am in love with her business stationery. it’s gorgeous.
Secondly, I am terrified of horses. The owner guided me through my terror and helped me actually enjoy the experience of working as a team with a horse.
This experience by far exceeded my expectations and I am so glad I was able to participate. It was simply amazing.
The whole experience was therapeutic. I would strongly recommend!
What a great experience! Fun challenges & great atmosphere. Working with the horses was interesting. The facilitator, Alisha, was fun & kind. This is a unique experience you won’t get anywhere else. I look forward to doing it again!
Alisha’s program and events are incredibly eye opening and you really learn a lot about yourself and what you’re capable of achieving! I love working with the horses and the exercises involved. It’s interactive, fun, exploratory and makes you feel great afterward! The facilities are beautiful and Alisha is a great Teacher !

Alisha Wilson
Founder ~ Certified Equine Facilitator ~ Reiki Master
Growing up with horses, Alisha has the personal experience of how profound and meaningful a connection with one of these amazingly wonderful animals can be, and will personally attest to the fact that they not only helped shape who she is today, but have saved her life. Through personal struggles with self-image, self-confidence and addiction, horses were always her safe space due to their non-judgmental and genuinely empathetic nature. From personal horses on the home farm, to horses at the ranch where she worked as a teen in Florida, and now horses she owns and has owned as an adult, she can name every one of them and tell you what type of life lesson she learned from them.
In 2020, after several years in leadership in the corporate world, Alisha was graced with the rare opportunity to pursue her passions AND have a genuinely positive impact on others. She decided to take the plunge and start her equine assisted learning (EAL) journey with Dreamwinds/ Cartier Farms, and that’s when Transitions was officially born. Her lifelong passion became her career, and by understanding the horse human parallels, she is able to provide valuable and important feedback from the horse, for the betterment of yourself, and helps facilitate those ever important “AH HA” moments, which are imperative to unlocking your potential and removing any self-imposed road blocks.
In addition to EAL, Alisha holds certifications in ASIST and SafeTalk, and is a Reiki Master with an active membership in the Canadian Reiki Association. She is happily married, and has 2 wonderful kids who also play active roles in the day to day operation of Transitions.
“With this program, my passion for horses is beautifully combined with my passion for helping others, and my broken old rescue horses have renewed purpose. That means here, everybody wins”
