Many people
contact Gentle Carousel and ask to come over for a visit.
Unfortunately our insurance only covers our horses when they are
working and not when they are off duty on our farm. See:
Home Sweet Home
Unlike a program where people go to horses to ride, Gentle
Carousel's Reading Is Magic takes horses inside to people .
Many of
the children we visit have never touched a horse before.
Because we work inside preschools, schools and at risk youth programs most of
our visits are
private.
Our horses do
take part in special events during the year that are open to the
public including our summer reading programs.

parents about reading at the Early Steps Fall Festival.
