Reading with Roury & Friends 
Come join us or let us come to you for a fun reading event with our mini horse Roury.  Hear a read aloud about our donkey Ricky, called New to the Herd. After the read aloud and Q&A time about Roury, participants will be broken into stations where they can have fun with a variety of reading/writing/or math based learning activities. Each participant, if they choose, will have the opportunity to visit with Roury or one of her friends one on one, to get the chance to read a book, tell her a story or just brush her.  Participants will each get a take home activity from the event.  Contact us today to find out how we can bring this event to you and your program.
