Chan Carman: Using horses to boost mental health, empowerment among Aiken's youth

Aiken Standard - 7/20/2020

Jul. 19--Chan Carman is a native of Montana -- a place she refers to as "horse country" -- but was drawn to Aiken because its equine community offered a unique blend of opportunity and equestrian competition.

"Being able to go down the road and see Olympians training -- the 12-year-old girl in me was over the moon," Carman said, recalling one of her first visits to Aiken.

Now, Carman also offers something special to Aiken's horse scene: equine-assisted psychotherapy.
