Stockhands Horses for Healing @ Stockhands Horses for Healing

There is something restorative about being out at the barn. When you step foot into the barn, everything else seems to fall away; the stress, the worries, the fear of judgement, the chaos… Coming to the barn gives you the space to just be. Read with the Horses is meant to provide a space for readers of all ages and abilities to relax and enjoy their books, without the fear of judgement, without the stress of “getting it right.” Our equine partners love listening as our readers share new stories (you should see them looking around for their reading partners Saturday mornings prior to a Read with the Horses event) and they won’t ever tell you if you’ve misread something. Our hope is that Read with the Horses gives our readers a space to fall in love with reading, to escape the stress and pressures of the outside world, and a space to experience the adventures found within the pages of a book.
Come see the magic on the 2nd Saturday of every month!
