Take a break from teaching with these five read along horse books!
What better way to keep your littles busy than a book. Not everyone has access to horse books or sometimes you just need a break from reading so a great resource is YouTube. There are so many read along books available. Here are just a few:

In Every Cowgirl Needs a Horse, Nellie Sue does everything with a western flair.

All she really needs is a horse. So when Dad announces at her birthday party, “I got a horse right here for you,” Nellie Sue is excited. But when her horse turns out to be her first bicycle, it will take an imagination as big as Texas to help save the day. Purchase HERE
