FAQs
What should I wear?
Dress for the weather. The outside weather is how it will feel in the barn with the horses. Wear closed-toed shoes.
If I'm accompanying my child, do I have to register?
No. Only the reader needs to register.
What should I bring?
Your favorite book, magazine, newspaper, graphic novel -- anything! There are some books on property.
When can I register for the next Read with the Horses event?
Registration for each month opens just after the previous month's event is over. There is no option to register ahead for multiple events.
