Kentucky Hidden Wonders’‘ first episode is about the transformative power of equine therapy with HorseSensing Founder and Exec. Director Dr. Sally Broder.
In 2020, HorseSensing blossomed into a refuge for many, particularly veterans and men recovering from addiction.
“In this episode of Kentucky Hidden Wonders, Dr. Sally Broder highlights poignant stories, particularly that of Chris Carl, an Army veteran who experienced profound changes within the program. Initially burdened by serious anxiety and PTSD, his journey unfolded through his bond with a horse that shared parallel struggles. Chris is now the education director at HorseSensing—a testament to his transformation in the Saddlebred Capital of the World,” adds Kentucky Hidden Wonders co-host Mason Warren.
