GallopNYC uses therapeutic horsemanship to help riders in NYC with disabilities walk, talk and learn, inspiring them to live their lives as fully, independently and productively as possible. GallopNYC is an inclusive community and welcomes riders with and without disabilities. Our programs are open to anyone who can benefit from the healing and empowering experience of working with horses.
GallopNYC’s therapeutic horsemanship programs provide measurable benefits for people with developmental, emotional, social and physical disabilities. Through weekly riding sessions with PATH International Certified Therapeutic Riding Instructors, we teach new skills, inspiring each rider to live life as fully, productively and independently as possible.
Because of you, GallopNYC's therapeutic horsemanship programs give a child the strength to sit taller, the words to speak up, and a friend who understands. That same gift helps an adult live more independently, a senior find community again, and a veteran carry a sense of calm home to their family. Every rider's progress starts with someone who believed enough to give. That someone is you.
Volunteers enjoy the personal satisfaction of helping children and adults with developmental, emotional, social and physical challenges, all while working with and being around horses, one of nature’s most empathetic animals. Group and corporate volunteer opportunities are also available.
