It is a 20 acre farm just five minutes from downtown Aiken, South Carolina. To many it may look like one of the many other farms in the area, but this one is different. Great Oak Aiken Therapeutic Riding Center (GOATRC) is designed to offer therapeutic riding to children and adults with physical, emotional, and psychological challenges. GOATRC recognizes that the number of people living with challenges is higher than the national average in the CSRA, and they are ready to help those that need them most.
