 Brittany Madonia grew up in a small town in New England and later moved to the Carolinas where her dreams of working with horses became a reality. Not long after that, she spent a couple of months earning a certificate as a Barn Manager/Professional Groom at the Equine Management Training Center in Axton, Virginia. She has worked in a few places since then, and even though she hasn’t found a permanent place to land just yet, Brittany has thoroughly enjoyed her journey! Some of her passions include learning everything she can about horses, dogs, mental health, and a couple of foreign languages.

 Cassidy Brooke – “I’m just your average horse-crazy girl willing to nearly pull my head out of its socket to peak in a horse trailer passing by. When I abruptly quit my corporate job without any idea of what I was going to do, I suddenly found myself picking up a $400 camera and taking photos of any horse I could get in front of my camera. That little hobby sparked a complete redirection of my life that I will forever be grateful for. I can usually be found lying across a barn aisle getting the perfect shot or in a field of tall grass proclaiming, “YES, THIS IS THE SHOT!” ”
