43: Teaching Children to Read With the Help of Horses, with Caitlin Gooch

DECEMBER 7, 2021

EPISODE NOTES

Can you remember the first book that left a lasting impact on you? That widened how you saw the world, made you curious about a new frontier of knowledge, or expanded the very boundaries of your mind? The ability to read is a powerful tool, as much as it is a lifelong gift. Saddle Up and Read founder Caitlin Gooch has made it her mission to increase child literacy rates across her home state, with a little help from her horses.
