The only thing better than receiving a book is getting one delivered by a horse.Caitlin Gooch,the founder of Saddle Up and Read(SUAR),literally saddles(跨上马鞍) up onto one of her family’s horses and visits primary schools,libraries and youth groups to encourage students to read.The non-profit in Wendell,North Carolina,also organizes book drives and school-wide reading competitions.

Gooch isn’t just encouraging children to read more.She’s also showing them that horseback riders can look like her.Online,she’s often referred to as the “Black Cowgirl”.“It feels amazing to be that kind of representation,” Gooch said.
