Horse Powered Reading® integrates social-emotional learning with academics, allowing students to see, feel, and experience reading with their whole mind, body, and heart. Working from the ground with our horses, students use fun props and activities to explore the five key components of reading: phonemic awareness, decoding, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension.

Each session is unique, guided by the student’s individual needs and strengths. With our trained facilitators using the Eagala Model of Equine Assisted Learning, sessions invite students to:

• Identify challenges that may be getting in the way of learning and make them visible using symbols and obstacles.
• Experience learning through movement, helping new concepts “stick” through action and engagement.
• Connect with a horse of their choosing, just as they might choose a favorite book, discovering trust and motivation in the process.
• Reflect on their progress and emotions, creating new patterns for success both in reading and in life.

Across the country, literacy struggles are growing, yet we know that reading can open up entire worlds of opportunity. Programs like Horse Powered Reading® bring hope and creativity to the challenge, making learning come alive in ways that traditional classrooms can’t always reach. By engaging both the heart and mind, students rediscover the joy of learning and the confidence to keep turning the page.
