Introducing The Reading Rein

Where Books and Bridles Meet

At Texas Equine Education & Horsemanship, we believe the barn isn't the only place where growth happens. That’s why we’re thrilled to introduce our newest program—The Reading Rein, a horse-themed literacy challenge designed just for young readers and riders!

What Is The Reading Rein?

The Reading Rein is a fun, inspiring, and educational reading program for horse-loving kids ages 2 to 16—and it’s open to participants around the world! Whether your child is learning to read or devouring chapter books, this program is the perfect way to blend a love of literature with a passion for horses.

And the best part? Readers can participate all year long, with no deadlines and no pressure—just joy, imagination, and recognition.

How It Works:

1. Choose any book about horses.

   Fiction or nonfiction, chapter book or graphic novel—it just needs to involve horses! (No reference books please.)

2. Read at your own pace.

   Cozy up at home, read with a parent, or even share your book with your favorite pony. This is a go-at-your-own-speed adventure.

3. Answer six simple questions.

   Fill out our fun 5Ws + 1H worksheet:

   • Who are the characters?

   • What happened?

   • When does it take place?

   • Where is the setting?

   • Why did the characters do what they did?

   • How did it end or how did it make you feel?

4. Draw your favorite scene from the book.

   Get creative! Use crayons, markers, or digital tools—whatever brings the story to life for you.

5. Submit your worksheet and drawing.
