Brie Wittmann

A certified facilitator and mindset coach, and I’m passionate about helping people thrive while working alongside our incredible horses. I share my life with my three amazing dogs—Boots, Leo, and Zen—and my adorable pony, Muffin, who I adopted in July through Transitions. Plus, I’m lucky to have the love and support of my wonderful husband, Blake. Horses have always been a huge part of my life. I started riding as a kid and spent years owning and showing horses on the “A” circuit. It’s such a dream to combine my love for these incredible animals with helping others in such meaningful ways. When I’m not working, you’ll find me crafting, camping, or off on an adventure exploring new places. I’m so grateful to be part of the Transitions family and look forward to connecting with you through our programs!

She channels this passion into her work with youth, where she admires their respect, curiosity, and eagerness to learn. Professionally, Rebecca is a full-time laser operator at Tigercat, skillfully balancing her career with her commitment to family and community.

Carrie Kidd

Married for 22 years to her amazing and supportive husband, Carrie is blessed with three beautiful (and not-so-little!) kids, a house full of fur babies, and a life filled with love and gratitude. Since she was a little girl, Carrie has had a deep love for horses. At just 3 years old, she was already racing barrels! Her teenage years were filled with the thrill of speed, adrenaline, and countless cherished moments with her family’s horses. Through the ups and downs of life, horses were her saving grace—offering love, comfort, and life-changing lessons that shaped her into the person she is today. Carrie believes horses have a unique ability to connect with us on a profound level. They are supportive, wise, and sometimes cheeky—yet always full of love. From being our greatest teachers to the best shoulder to lean on, they guide us to find peace, joy, and emotional release.

Monique Buckrell

Hi, I’m Monique! I’m thrilled to join the amazing team of Equine Assisted Facilitators at Transitions EAL. My journey with horses began when I was just three years old—it was truly love at first sight. At thirteen, I started more formal training, but my heart has always been drawn to the bond that goes beyond the saddle. My equine partner, Romeo, and I love adventuring through the woods or practicing liberty-style exercises side by side in the outdoor arenas. Professionally, I bring a rich background in physical and cognitive therapies for humans. From creating personalized exercise plans to teaching yoga and meditation, I’ve always been passionate about supporting others in their wellness journeys. Currently, I work alongside occupational and physical therapists in a clinical setting, but joining Transitions EAL allows me to merge my skills with my lifelong passion for horses. These magnificent creatures have offered me incredible healing—both physically and mentally—and I believe they have a unique ability to touch our souls. I’m excited for the opportunity to help you experience the transformational power of horses and come full circle in your own journey.

Willow

Our herd boss. Even with her small stature, she is the lead mare, taking new horses that join us under her hoof and showing them the ropes. Willow came to us from Touchstone Farms. We had gone to visit Gillian and her herd and it was love at first sight for Willow. She chose Lindsey as her new person and the rest is history.

Her story before Touchstone was pretty sad. She was terrified of men and buckets, and we were told that she was found in a very dirty stall with her foal who had passed away a few days prior to being found. Willow has been with us since 2019.

Perry

Joining us in spring of 2023, this lovely dude came to us almost 900lbs underweight with a busted up knee and missing the majority of his front teeth. He is the true definition of forgiveness as he is the sweetest soul, even after humans failed him once.

He is fantastic at teaching people how to be in the moment and leave their perfectionism at the gate, and LOVES to be fussed over, and is definitely a farm favorite. Mr Perry will spend the rest of his days comfortably eating hay with his buddies at Transitions.

Elliott Moose

Ahhhh yes, Mr Moose, the troublemaker extraordinaire. If you don’t see him sneaking through fences and trying to break into the barn, you will catch him lovingly pestering one of his herd mates or stealing the hats, tools, and wheelbarrows from his humans. Moose joined us in 2019 from Stoneridge Stables, where he was born after his mother was rescued from OLEX. He has been an amazing addition to our program, taking his job seriously and making sure you’re ready to lead and laugh. For such a small dude, he has BIG personality

Thunder

Meet the face behind our logo. With big personality and puppy dog tendancies, it’s not hard to see why he’s the perfect brand ambassador. Thunder is an amazing teacher, arriving here and jumping right into the program like he’s been doing it his whole life.

While Thunder is one of the lucky souls who has not had hardships at the hands of humans, he does have a special story. A little while before I had recevied the call asking if we’d be interested in another horse, I had stated, out loud, that I would love to get a horse just like my grandfather’s old Cheyenne with bonus points if the bloodlines branched back to some of my grandfather’s… Well folks, here he is. A prime example of ask and you shall receive.

Veronica

Our oldest resident, Ronnie, is the kindest, yet can be the most stubborn, of the entire herd.

She was rescued from a life as a brood mare where we expect that she carried almost as many babies as she is old. She truly enjoys her frequent spa days, and is an amazing teacher of please ask and don’t tell. A true team player, she has been a fantastic part of our program and loves working with people on their journeys to self awareness.

Tulsa

The baby of the herd, Tulsa is not yet in our program. She is showing incredible potential to be one of the star teachers, as her calm and level headed personality is one of her finest qualities.

We often find Tulsa and Lindsey laying together in the paddock when they’re not playing.

While Tulsa is still in training and evaluation, you can still meet her when you come to visit the farm.

Hot Rod

“Bandido’s Devil Drives a Hotrod” is a funny and spunky little guy. At five years old, his sensitive yet loving nature makes him an excellent addition to our program. His curiosity and willingness to teach has made him a fast farm favorite.

His previous owners taught him how to give kisses, and his favorite visitors are our LTC residents.

You will often see him and Moose wrestling in the field or playing a game of keep away.

Envy

“Bandido’s Envy” is a beautiful, fancy moving little pony who is trained to drive. She’s very lovable. She loves attention and kisses, and is loved by all who meet her.

Her gentle and patient nature coupled with her smaller stature, make her a perfect partner for first time horse participants who may be a little nervous at first.

She and Willow have become best friends in the field and she’s also helping Willow to be a little more interactive with people on her own accord.

Stanley

Stan the Man. He is by far, our smallest herd member with the biggest heart. He happily offers up his hooves for impressions in pottery for our Signature, Ponies and Pottery events, and loves to check out what’s happening in the arena. His hair do is always ON POINT!

His Tiny stature and big personality make him an excellent partner for people in our program wishing to experience a little more of a challenge.

You will find Stan partaking in shenanigans in the field with Moose, HotRod , and Willow on a very regular basis.
