Horse Powered Reading®

  • Equine-Assisted Learning helps students who are having trouble reading overcome their obstacles, using animals as teachers!

    Our team has been trained to use exercises and games designed by Horse Powered Reading® founder, Educator, and Equine Assisted Therapy Specialist Michele Pickel, PhD Educator and Equine-Assisted Therapy Specialist in Minnesota.

    For nearly a decade, Michele has provided Equine-Assisted Learning to students of all ages in her hometown area, and has trained facilitators all over the world! She has conducted research through Concordia University that proves Horse Powered Reading works and can help students make remarkable progress. We use Michele's model and inspiration to help students overcome reading obstacles.

It has been proven that children learn differently from adults, and are easily distracted. Using horses to help them learn gets and keeps their attention. My great granddaughter loves the “Giddy-up & Read Program” with “Horse Powered Reading™” at “Once Upon A Time...” Farm, and she improved her reading skills during the very first session.
