  • "Read with the Horses is a space for readers of all abilities to relax and enjoy books without fear of judgment."

    — Michelle Lowe // Read with the Horses Founder

  • "There is something restorative about being at 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."

    — Michelle Lowe // Read with the Horses Founder

  • Read with the Horses creates a space for kids to fall in love with reading. It's an opportunity to trade the pressures of the outside world for the adventures found within the pages of a book."
