Caitlin Gooch is an equestrian from Wendell, NC. Her passion for horses and reading led her to start a nonprofit literacy program called Saddle Up and Read. In her efforts to display books that feature African American equestrians, Caitlin was able to find 20 book titles. She wants to release books to increase the list of books that represent her culture.
 
Aside from horseback riding, reading, and writing, Caitlin enjoys learning how to crochet and cooking recipes she finds on Pinterest. Learn more about Caitlin's efforts at www.saddleupandread.org.
