Read With Horses Programs

Reading and horses go hand in hand for many kids who dream of galloping across open fields or caring for their very own pony. Horse books spark imagination, build empathy, and teach responsibility—often through stories of adventure, friendship, and the special bond between a rider and their horse. For young readers, these books not only improve literacy skills but also deepen their love and understanding of horses. Some programs take this connection even further by bringing kids and horses together in real life, offering opportunities for children to read aloud to horses. These programs create a calm, nonjudgmental space where kids can build confidence in their reading while bonding with gentle, attentive animals, turning a love of horses into a powerful motivator for learning.
