INTERESTING FACT: "My family had created one of the first publications to highlight Black horsemen and women in the early 2000s."

ABOUT CAITLIN: Hey y'all, I am Caitlin Gooch also known as "The Black Cowgirl." I have never known a life without horses and everything I do includes them in some way. Most times I am the first Black cowgirl people meet. I was fortunate to grow up around hundreds of Black equestrians on the east coast. I know how important it is for me to show up and founded a nonprofit called Saddle Up and Read to help kids read more and better. From there, everything changed.
