Each rider is supported by a volunteer leading the horse and one on each side of the rider.
NO EXPERIENCE is NEEDED. We provide training.
A love of horses is helpful, as is a desire to work with disabled individuals.
To sign-up to volunteer: Please fill out GallopNYC's online inquiry form here, or contact us at: volunteer@gallopnyc.org.
Tips for Volunteers Wear long pants and comfortable shoes or boots - not sneakers or trainers.
You may if you wish bring carrots for the horses.
On arriving, introduce yourself to the co-ordinating volunteer on duty - he or she will assign you to a buddy if you are new - and get you started.
Let us know if you have experience with horses, a medical background or other skills that would be useful.
